Replacing Metal Fillings
with a Better Alternative
Most people have probably had to get a cavity filled at some
point in their lives (if you haven’t, congratulations). Dentists have
historically used somewhat unsightly metal amalgam to fill in cavities.
Relatively recently, however, cosmetic dentists have started
to use attractive white
fillings to both replace old metal amalgam fillings and fill new cavities.
Made of a resin that is hardened using a specialized light,
white fillings are tooth-colored. These white fillings:
·
Contain no mercury, unlike certain metal
amalgams
·
Look more attractive and natural
·
Are less sensitive to heat and cold
·
Restore much of the original strength of the
tooth
On the other hand, you could choose porcelain
inlays or onlays instead of white fillings. Porcelain can be more closely
matched to your tooth color, but requires two visits to fit while white
fillings require only one.
Your cosmetic dentist will help you make the choice that is
right for you.
Please contact us
today to find a qualified cosmetic dentist in your area who can help you with
bright, attractive fillings.

Sleep Apnea Awareness Day
If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans who
suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, your quality of life is not the only thing
that has been affected. As annoying as snoring might be to a sleep apnea
sufferer’s partner, there are other, more significant long-term health
consequences of the condition, including an increased risk of cardiovascular
disease.
It’s for this reason that the American Sleep Apnea
Association declared April 18 National Sleep Apnea Awareness Day. It’s an
important step for increasing our collective knowledge base when it comes to
this serious condition.
One important piece of information sleep apnea sufferers
should keep in mind is that your dentist
might be able to help restore you to a healthy, restful sleep.
People don’t think of dentists when they think of sleep
apnea, but dentists equipped with modern technology
and possessed of special training can not only diagnose you with sleep apnea
but also craft a customized treatment plan that is right for you.
And sleep apnea does
not have to be treated with a cumbersome, intrusive CPAP machines. Other
options, such as customized orthotics or jaw alignment correction devices, can
also prove helpful.
Please contact us
today to find a qualified cosmetic dentist in your area who can help treat your
sleep apnea.

Oral Cancer Detection
April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, which means that this
is an excellent time to emphasize how important frequent examinations are for
your overall health. Oral cancer is always serious, but catching
problems early makes them much easier to treat.

least once a year. Fortunately, these screenings don’t require extra visits or
trips to unfamiliar offices.

dentist likely offers oral cancer screenings. Ask about the screening
options he or she offers. You and your dentist can work out a time that is
convenient for you.

technologies now available to them, modern dentists are more equipped than
ever to detect oral cancer early.
When found early, oral cancer has a survival rate of 80 to
90 percent. So whether you’re inspired by Oral Cancer Awareness Month or you
just want to protect yourself and your family, get screened.
It could save your life.
