Thursday, January 21, 20103 Steps to Conquer Dental AnxietyAnxiety and fear are serious problems for many of us. People experience fear due to a variety of causes; the uncertainty of the future, work pressures, and relationship pressures are only a few of the things people fear on a day-to-day basis. What's more, many suffer from anxiety over their health and are anxious about dental care. Quite a few of these people ignore the warning signs and fail to seek care because they would rather not treat the problem. How do we get past this awful anxiety, which prevents us from taking action? Here are some suggestions that may help: 1. Take control of your life. You are in charge of yourself and your future. No one else is in control of your life. You are! Say to yourself 'I am going to address this problem and find a solution through seeking out a health care provider that I trust and that I am comfortable with.' 2. Choose a dentist who understands your needs and is willing to help you. You need a dentist who is determined to provide the finest dental care in an understanding and positive environment where you are the primary focus and a highly professional staff that focuses on you -- the patient. 3. Make an appointment, and keep it. Before making an appointment decide that you will follow through, because the doctor has set aside that time just for you. Write down the issues you have concerns about, as well as any questions you need to get answered and resolved. It really doesn't matter if you have all the desire in the world if you don't follow through. Labels: Dental Health

It is important to take care of the mouth as to not incur conditions that may be harmful in the future. Presented below are a few conditions that may effect your mouth: Abscessed tooth - An abscess is a painful condition caused by infection in a badly damaged or decayed tooth. Bad Breath (halitosis) - Halitosis, or “bad breath†is a common, but embarrassing condition that often has a dental cause. Cavities and Tooth Decay - Tooth decay is the process of a tooth’s mineral content being dissolved. A cavity, or caries, is the actual hole in a tooth that is caused by tooth decay. Dry Mouth - Dry mouth is caused by an inadequate supply of saliva. This is usually due to medication side effects, but may have other causes. Fluorosis - Fluorosis is a defect in tooth enamel caused by excessive fluoride in young children. It typically looks like white streaks or spots in teeth. Gum Disease (Gingivitis) - Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that is usually caused by plaque.

Thursday, November 26, 2009Curing Trench MouthTrench mouth is a condition very few want to experience in their life. Trench mouth is most often characterized by significant and nearly unbearable pain, bleeding from the gums when they are pressed even gently, and necrotic and ulcerated gum tissues (resembling pockets or craters between the teeth). Trench mouth symptoms may also include oral malodor and a bad taste in the mouth, a grayish film on the gums, and a feeling of overall malaise. There is a tendency for relapse after trench mouth has been treated. However, there are various ways in which trench mouth can be treated. To properly diagnose trench mouth, dentists generally perform a thorough clinical examination of your teeth and gums. Labels: dental care, Dental Health

Tuesday, November 10, 2009Family Dentistry 101Family dentistry, like general dentistry, provides services related to the general maintenance of oral hygiene and tooth health. The terms family dentistry and general dentistry are often used interchangeably, though there is a slight difference between the two. Some dentists restrict their practice to certain age groups. For example, pedodontists restrict their practice to providing dental care and treatment to young children. Family dentists typically care for a wide variety of patients, from young children to older adults. Family dentists are responsible for ensuring that plaque buildup around the teeth is kept to a minimum, that tooth decay is eliminated and cavities are filled, and that gums remain healthy. For many family dentistry is considered one of the first lines of prevention for oral issues. Labels: dental care, Dental Health
Saturday, October 31, 2009The Science of Dry MouthFor smokers, and people who don't drink enough liquid, dry mouth is a source of much discomfort. Dry mouth syndrome, also known as xerostomia, is a dry, uncomfortable feeling in your mouth that results from a decrease in the amount of your saliva. Dry mouth syndrome can be temporary or a chronic problem. One or more factors can cause your salivary glands to function improperly and produce a less saliva than normal: Medications (prescription and over-the-counter). Medical conditions (Sjögren's Syndrome, diabetes, stroke or others). Emotional stress and anxiety. The exact number of people suffering from dry mouth syndrome is unknown; however, everyone experiences it to some extent at one time or another. Dry mouth syndrome is more likely to occur among older adults, but it can affect a person of any age. Labels: Dental Health

Tuesday, April 15, 2008Periodontal Disease and Coronary Heart Disease
 Researchers at Boston University found that periodontal disease is a risk factor for coronary heart disease in men less than 60 years old."This is the first study to find a significant association between chronic periodontitis and the risk of coronary heart disease, even after adjusting for important confounding factors," says Dr. Thomas Dietrich, associate professor in the Department of Health Policy and Health Services Research at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine. The following factors were taken into account during the study; age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol intake, cholesterol and blood pressure with the men receiving medical and dental examinations every three years for up to 35 years. So aside from your typical medical examinations, the state of your oral health care can also be an excellent indicator of your overall general health as well as a sign for how your heart is doing.
