The holidays can be a stressful time for everyone, with buying presents, wrapping presents, decorating, hosting family, cooking, cleaning…the list goes on and on! Being stressed has many effects on our bodies, and Dr. Barroso wants his patients to know about how it affects your mouth, especially when it comes to a condition known as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ or TMD).
Interestingly, TMD is 9 times more likely to affect women than men, but all Burleson residents should be aware of the symptoms. Legacy Dental is hoping to help our patients remove stress and pain from their lives this holiday season!

The holiday season always brings with it lots of food. Pies, cakes, turkey, stuffing, ham, candied yams, fruitcake…it often seems like the list is overwhelming. Usually those foods are unhealthy for both your overall health, as well as your teeth. This week, Dr. Barroso wants to give Burleson residents some foods that they can substitute this season to help make both their bodies and their mouths happier and healthier.
1) PomegranateStudies show that this fruit may increase antioxidant activity in the mouth, and it may decrease the amount of cavity-forming bacteria. Testing is still in the early stages, but Dr. Barroso suggests adding some fresh pomegranate to your diet every once in a while. However, avoid the juice which may not be as beneficial because of its sugar content. [Read more...]
Having lipstick on your teeth is not a good look, but new studies show that picking the right shade to accent your pout can actually brighten those pearly whites! Using a dental color guide, scientists have proven that many hues of lipstick can make your teeth instantly look whiter, which Dr. Barroso thinks is always a good thing.
So which colors do this? A general rule is to try to stick with those that have blue undertones which will contrast with the yellow tints of your teeth and make them appear brighter and whiter. When looking for a specific color, try in the deeper reds and maroons. Stay away from nudes, peaches, neutral pinks, and frosted lipsticks, which can make your teeth look the same color as the lipstick. [Read more...]
