Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
A. Well you’re not alone and I see this more often than I’d like. The main reason that children are more likely to have new cavities is because their teeth are still developing and are therefore less mineralized (or softer) than adult teeth. Your child’s teeth will not be fully developed until their late teenage years. During this period of time you should do the following: Observe your child’s brushing making certain that the area where the teeth meet the gums is being brushed well enough to remove all pasty particles. This will prevent decay from forming at the gum line and maintain healthy gums. Having your child floss during his favorite TV program is an excellent way to begin this essential habit. Sealants can be applied to all the adult back teeth and will help prevent cavities on the chewing surface. And last, but not least, you should discuss a regular fluoride program with your dentist. Both in office and at home treatments are available.

Fillings
1) Independent research has conducted experiments that indicate Amalgam fillings may leak harmful mercury into the body.
Veneers
A. Although I’m certain that orthodontics would correct your problem, some people would rather not wear braces if they don’t have to. After a thorough orthodontic consultation with your dentist you may consider placing porcelain or composite veneers over the surface of your existing teeth. A porcelain or composite veneer is a tooth shield similar to a false finger nail. This tooth shield (or veneer) is fabricated by a dental laboratory using very durable and natural looking materials. The front surface of your natural teeth would be slightly adjusted to reduce some of the crooked corners and prepare space for a laboratory fabricated veneer. The lab can design a new size and shape for your teeth. When the veneers are completed your dentist will bond the veneers right to the surface of your natural teeth. The net effect is a very conservative procedure with very nice results.
Crowns
A. Absolutely! Not having insurance means that preventive maintenance and regular cleanings are a must for you. Due to the expense of operative dentistry, getting your teeth cleaned twice a year and having small cavities filled is far less expensive than waiting for a tooth ache to come along, which may require a root canal or a crown (cap). Visiting your dentist on a regular basis for check-ups and cleanings allows you to maintain a healthier mouth. Small cavities can be filled before they become too deep and require major operative dentistry. Note these comparisons: Regular 6 month cleanings over a four year period may cost you about $360. About $90 per year. On the other hand, the person who has a small cavity that goes unnoticed, since there is usually no pain associated with a small cavity, runs the risk of the cavity traveling all the way to the nerve inside the tooth, which would then require a root canal and crown at a cost of approximately $950. Case studies have shown that in the long run people who visit their dentist on a regular basis spend far less money than those who wait for something to start hurting before making a dental appointment.

Root Canal Treatment
Q. My dentist said that I will require root canal work. Wouldn’t it just be a lot easier to have him extract the bad tooth?

Deep Cleaning

Dentures
A. This is a very common scenario and you’ve heard right, lower dentures typically do not fit as well as upper dentures. However, a rather simple technique does exist that can make your lower denture actually fit, as good, if not better, than your existing upper denture. What your dentist can do is extract all but the two healthiest teeth from your lower jaw. Next, those two teeth are shaved down to the gum line, so that the roots are still solid in the jaw bone, but you no longer see the portion of the tooth that used to rise above the gums. The dentist then places a precision attachment to the top of the root. A precision attachment is very similar to the snaps used on clothing. The concept is very simple: You put half of the snap on top of the root and the other half in the denture. The end result is a very secure lower denture.

Dental Implants
Q. I’m wearing full upper dentures right now. The remaining six bottom teeth I have are in pretty bad shape. I’d rather not have them pulled since I’ve heard that lower dentures don’t fit very good. Other than dental implants, what options do I have?

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Gum Surgery
Tooth Extractions
A. Most people cringe at the mere mention of a root canal. Well, I have to tell you that maybe 25 years ago the “cringe” was justified, but with the quality of today’s anesthetics and technics the procedure should be virtually pain free. The first thing we should cover is why some teeth need root canal therapy (RCT). Inside the tooth there is living tissue. When a tooth receives trauma, such as a sports injury, or in most cases, tooth decay, the living tissue begins to die. As this tissue dies it decays and becomes infected. If left untreated this infection can travel into the jaw bone. An extraction could be an immediate solution, however; there are many clinical reasons why one tooth extraction can lead to a domino effect of tooth loss in the future. What Root Canal Therapy does is that it allows the dentist to remove the dying tissue by creating an access hole through the top of the tooth. Once the inner tissue is removed the canal is filled, and the tooth will remain functional for many years to come.

Braces
Q. I have a space between my front teeth and they’re a little crooked also. Do I have any options, other than braces?

Teeth Whitening
Q. I’m considering having my teeth bleached. Does bleaching actually work? Also, do those bleaching kits from drug stores perform as well as the custom ones your dentist makes for you?
