Treatment For Gum Disease

Posted By Jonathan J. Golab

You can’t have a healthy mouth without healthy gums. Sadly, 75% of Americans have some form of periodontal (gum) disease. If your gums bleed when you floss (and you do floss – don’t you??), you have gum disease. Let me ask you this: what other part of your body that bled when touched, would you NOT be concerned about. Well, you need to be concerned about gum disease, because it is an INFECTION that causes the destruction of the bone that supports your teeth. Fortunately, our bodies are able to take care of infections relatively easily, if given the chance. … Continue reading

Your Teeth Are the Windows To Your Overall Body Health

Posted By Jonathan J. Golab

It has been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. But is your mouth the window to the rest of your body? Increasingly, researchers are discovering that the condition of your teeth and gums can be an indicator of your overall health. For example, patients who have severe gum disease, or periodontitis, are much more likely to have a buildup of plaque in their arteries. But it would be a leap of logic to say that if you don’t brush your teeth, you’ll have a heart attack. Scientists still are trying to explain the connection between the … Continue reading

What Can Porcelain Veneers Do For You?

Posted By Jonathan J. Golab

As we grow older, our teeth start to deteriorate. A lifetime of chewing, biting, poor maintenance, and decay, negatively impacts our teeth and our overall body health. The old way to fix teeth was with crowns which grind your teeth down to pegs. However, with porcelain veneers, you do not grind teeth down to pegs, and can solve a variety of cosmetic dental concerns. Porcelain veneers are attractive, durable, and most of all, natural looking. They are thin sheets of porcelain, like a fake fingernail, that fit over your tooth. When made properly, they are a very conservative dental restoration, … Continue reading

Drill Less Dentistry

Q.    When I visit the dentist, how do I know if I have decay? A.  For many years, the standard for detecting decay was the dental xray.   Of greatest concern was the exposure to radiation.  A second concern is that the decay needs to be in an advanced stage before it is large enough to be detected, meaning that the decay must be present for quite some time before it was detected.  Current technology utilizes lasers to find decay before it is seen on an xray.   That way, vital and important tooth structure is conserved, reducing the need for more … Continue reading

How white should your teeth really be?

Posted By Jonathan J. Golab

Teeth whitening has become the country’s No. 1 requested cosmetic dental procedure, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic dentistry. There’s no shortage of ways to whiten. The main differences seem to be cost and professional oversight versus convenience and over-the-counter availability. There are three technologies. The first is an in-office system that uses a higher-concentration peroxide to get faster results. The second involves bleaching gel in trays custom fit to an individual’s teeth applied intermittently over a couple of weeks.
