I Heard It Through The Grapevine…

We’ve all heard that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.  But, have you ever heard about raisins helping to keep the dentist away?

Raisins have been shown to provide many overall health benefits.  They can help maintain blood sugar levels in athletes, and the high fiber content can help regulate intestinal function.  Also, antioxidants are present to reduce cancer risks, and the potassium content can help maintain blood pressure.  If that’s not enough, the small, convenient packages can be excellent at controlling hunger. 

But what are the effects on teeth?  With all the sugar and stickiness, they must be toward the top of the dentist’s no no list…right?  Not so fast my friend.

Tell me more about Deep Bleaching!

Low Sensitivity Deep BleachingWoman teeth

What You Need To Know

There is no one-visit “fast” bleaching technique today that makes teeth the very whitest they can be.  The Deep Bleaching technique was developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy, combining and modifying several techniques; and is regarded as the most effective teeth whitening technique known today.  Dr. Kurthy’s Evolve Dental Technologies, Inc. Deep Bleaching products have been specifically designed to be used with his Deep Bleaching Technique, achieving the renowned Deep Bleaching results, but with much less of the common sensitivity and pain associated with other bleaching gels.  The Deep Bleaching technique gets teeth significantly whiter than ever.  Patients who previously were unable to bleach as white as they would have liked (because of “bleaching resistant teeth” or acute sensitivity) can now bleach significantly whiter.

Teeth Whitening Myths Revealed

Friday, October 16th, 2009

woman smile“We live in a material world, and I am a material…boy.”  Thanks in part to TV, internet, billboards, and magazines, physical appearance has become the initial way to measure a person’s worth.  As bad as it sounds, first impressions are based on looks, and studies show that the shape and color of a person’s teeth are qualities that receive the most attention. 

With that said, teeth whitening still reigns supreme in cosmetic dentistry because it’s easy, affordable, and produces drastic results.  Yet, only 15% of the population has tried it, and the misinformation on the subject is widespread.  Read on for answers to your frequently asked questions, and the facts to disprove all myths.

header_diagno_dentThe DIAGNOdent from KaVo

I have a friend who went to a new dental office a few years ago and was diagnosed with 8 cavities, even though his last dentist claimed he was cavity-free just 6 months earlier.  Sound familiar?  This has become a big issue in the dental world because the diagnosis of most cavities (the ones that can’t be seen on x-rays) is very subjective – based on the expert opinion of the dentist at hand.

Healthcare babyThe Link Between the Mouth and the Body

New research is available showing how infection from the teeth and gums is directly related to illnesses in the rest of the body. 

Bacterial infections in the mouth can be a major factor in the development of several systemic diseases.  These new risk factors have disproven the fallacy that the mouth is a separate entity when compared to the entire body.   These findings also allow dentists and physicians to join together in treatment modalities for the betterment of their patient’s overall health.
