Breathing
You can hear it now. Breathe in through your nose, hold and exhale through your mouth. You are transported to a yoga class of long ago, when we could all gather and exhale in front of each other. Now, transport yourself to a dental chair and hear me saying the same words to you. WHAT? I know, you have probably never had a dentist talk to you about your breathing other than trying to keep you from hyperventilating. Then again, you have clearly never been in my dental chair!
Why you keep getting cavities.
One of the most frequent questions that I hear from the dental chair is, “But why do I keep getting cavities?” There are a lot of rote answers to this question and most involve passing the blame onto patients. And while impeccable oral hygiene helps prevent cavities, it isn’t the only reason why you may be prone to getting them.
