Monday, November 24, 2008Baby Boomers Oral Health - Keeping Your TeethIf you're one of the 75 million Baby Boomers in the United States today, you're probably considering the future of your teeth. Questions like "How long will they last?" and "What steps can I take now to preserve them for the future?" are good questions to ask, as gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among Baby Boomers today. The American Dental Association has launched an Oral Health Awareness Program focused on the Baby Boomer generation, based on extended life expectancy and noting that "60 is the new 40." As always, the answers to these questions lie in good oral hygiene practices coupled with regular visits to your dental professional. More information on the American Dental Association's Baby Boomer Oral Health Awareness Program is available through the ADA website. Thanks for visiting My Dentist USA!

Thursday, November 20, 2008Amalgam Fillings Bad? Not So Says ADA.There is a long time fear that amalgam (silver) fillings are bad for your health, especially in the brain development of young children and their neurological status. However after a report done by The Journal of the American Dental Association they found that, there was indeed, no harm done. Mercury is known to be toxic in it's natural state to the human body, but combined with other metals such as silver, copper, tin and zinc, it forms a safe and stable alloy. Despite the alloy, many people feared the mercury would still be toxic to the human body, especially in children, since many children get their first fillings with their first cavities at relatively young ages. During the seven year study they compared two groups of children, one with amalgam fillings and one using a resin based filling. After the study, there was no difference in neurological tests. And any diminishing neurological activity that was found, was found equally in both groups and attributed to normal childhood to adolescent aging. So you can be confident that if you have the old "silver" fillings, that you're not in any danger at all. However, if the amalgam fillings are "unsightly" to you, you can always look for a Cosmetic Dentist to replace them with tooth colored resin fillings to perfect that beautiful smile that you have.

Tuesday, November 11, 2008Mercury Amalgam Fillings - There's A Better Way!Chances are, if you've had cavities and were born before 1985, you have mercury amalgam fillings. Today, most dentists use newer, more attractive and sustainable materials for filling the holes left by cavities, but even as late as 10 years ago mercury was the most popular filling used. More and more people today are electing to have their old, grey mercury fillings replaced by new, white fillings. Not only do the new materials look better because they blend with the color of the existing tooth, they are safer. Eugene M. Sibick, DDS has written an article entitled, Tooth-Colored Restorations - A Better Way, on why mercury fillings are no longer used and why elective replacement of those fillings is becoming more and more popular.

Monday, November 10, 2008What is Invisalign®?Invisalign® is the newest method out there for correcting teeth irregularity and a good alternative to regular braces. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth, without the use of metal or wires. Unlike the old days, this is a method that allows you to straighten your smile, with a virtually invisible device. It is commonly referred to as the contact lenses for teeth because it allows your teeth to straighten without anyone ever noticing! And, they are removable, which allows you to eat and drink what you want and remove Invisalign while you brush your teeth or floss, allowing you to maintain good oral hygiene. Treatment time is relatively short, anywhere from 6 months to 1 ½ years, but as everything, is on a case by case basis. After treatment, you will have to wear a retainer to keep your smile optimal.
