The Dr. Iman Sadri Show

Why You Should Brush Your Teeth Before Taking a Nap (Episode 32)

Dr. Iman Sadri has been a dentist since 2008 and has a very conservative philosophy when it comes to teeth. Teeth are strong and don't decompose in the afterlife (unless someone is cremated).  Brushing your teeth before taking a nap is imperative to maintain good oral hygiene, especially if you nap frequently. Customarily people eat a meal prior to napping or have already ate in the day. When you nap your mouth is closed for a prolonged period. Without brushing prior to napping people can wake up to bad breath and a drier mouth. Bacteria can progress around areas where food particles are left behind, progressing periodontal disease. In geriatric populations root decay (cavities around the roots of teeth) can be progressive, especially since they may be taking a greater number of medications.  Napping is a form of sleep and prolonged napping where the mouth is closed for an extended period can be deleterious to your oral health and overall health. The mouth is the window to the health of the body.  Follow Dr. Iman Sadri on social media @DrImanSadri

How Teeth Whitening At Home Can Clean Teeth and Gums (Episode 31)

Dr. Iman Sadri has been a dentist for 17 years. He has a great passion for teeth whitening especially with the science of the Kor Whitening deep bleaching system. The only true system for teeth whitening that predictably whitens teeth.  Dr. Sadri has noticed during the process of teeth whitening for his patients that their teeth and gums actually get cleaner with plaque reduction. Teeth whitening was inadvertently discovered when periodontists were working on formulations to break down plaque. They noticed that hydrogen peroxide in a gel form breaks down plaque and as a result, stains are also removed. So teeth whitening was discovered by chance in the 1950s.  When patients whiten their teeth at home, the peroxide gel also breaks down plaque and some calculus. If the whitening trays touch at the crevice of the gumline the gel also breaks down plaque in those gum areas. However, whitening trays should be formulated so the whitening gel doesn't get too much on the gums and where saliva doesn't interfere with the gel during at home whitening.  Follow Dr. Iman Sadri on social media @DrImanSadri
