  • Expert Dentist Shares Insights on Oral Thrush Prevention and Remedies
    Dr. Himel explains that oral thrush is a "fungal infection caused by Candida overgrowth." Prevention includes good oral hygiene, warm saltwater rinses, and proper denture care. Symptoms are white patches and soreness. She advises consulting a dentist if at risk due to antibiotics or a weakened immune system.
  • Oil Pulling: A Natural Adjunct to Oral Health, Not a Replacement
    Dr. Himel explains, "Oil pulling, an ancient Indian remedy, shows antibacterial benefits but shouldn't replace traditional dental care." She recommends Crest White Strips and Opalescence Whitening Go Tray for at-home whitening, cautioning against high-acidity gels. "Oil pulling is a natural, cost-effective adjunct, but best oral practices include electric brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits," she advises.
  • Menopause and Oral Health: Expert Insights on Dental Changes
