Your teeth are alive!
Just like the rest of your body, your teeth are alive. They are composed of living tissue organized in a genius self-sustainable design. There are miles of microscopic micro-tubular highways inside each of your teeth connected to a vital pulp.
Maintaining a balanced oral microbiome is the key to maintaining oral health.

The Oral Environment
There is a whole universe of good and bad bacteria that inhabit your mouth.
Fact 1
Oral Microbiome
In this ecosystem, the good bacteria protects our teeth while the bad bacteria causes cavities and disease.
Acid Production
The response of dental plaque to sugars is acid production. This acid is what drives the caries (cavity) process. The plaque becomes most acidic 5-10 minutes after eating/drinking sugars, followed by a gradual recovery to its starting value, usually in 30 minutes.
Fact 2
Fact 3
Stephan curve
The pH scale is simply a measure of how acidic an environment is, and 7 is the neutral point. The Stephan curve says that when the pH drops below 5.5, your teeth will begin to demineralize/dissolve. It takes about 30 minutes for your saliva to get out of the danger zone where your teeth are susceptible to demineralization.
Oral Care Routine
Understanding how the production of acid in our mouths is vital to naturally prevent tooth decay. Whenever carbohydrates are consumed, try and immediately follow them with water and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing, flossing, and tongue scraping.
Fact 4
Sharing Is Caring
What Our Patients Say
Dr. Christofer is amazing! My son was terrified of sitting but even at 3 and now 4 years of age we've managed to have his teeth examined and even cleaned with no problems. Dr. Christofer was very gentle and reassuring with him and eased his fears. It's also reassuring that because of his youth we know he'll be our dentist for years to come. Their equipment is also new and modern so we know we're getting the best care possible. Definitely a great place for a family to go. A+
Dr. Christofer has been a great help from beginning to end! I have high anxiety around dentist offices and dental work and he takes his time and makes me feel like family! I highly recommend seeing Dr. Christofer from teeth cleaning to any dental work needed. Thank you, so much for taking great care of your patients and all the help along the way!

Unbelievable amazing doctor and skill. I had bone graft and extraction. The atmosphere was made comfortable by playing favorite songs in the background, the anesthesia was right on target, absolutely no pain, the procedure was explained step by step, the recovery is very easy, no pain, no bleeding. I am forever grateful and highly recommend Dr. C. Hatzis
