Tuesday, May 20, 2008Can Teeth Whitening Become an Addiction?What Motivates Overuse? For some, it's a narcissistic compulsion to maintain their youth, analogous to going for repeated plastic surgery, says Richard Frances, MD, an addiction expert and a clinical professor of psychiatry at New York University Medical School. "People are obsessed with the idea of perfecting their bodies and warding off the effects of age," he says. Matthew Messina, DDS, a dentist in private practice in Cleveland and a spokesman for the American Dental Association, says television makeover programs have had a tremendous influence in making people see how an investment in their smile was also an investment in self-confidence. But this awareness, he says, "can be obsessive if we become hyperfixated." Read more of this article here. Labels: articles, Teeth Whitening

Wednesday, April 2, 2008Smile! You have Healthy GumsThat smile you're flashing around may indicate something more than just a happy disposition. In a recent study published by the Journal of Periodontology (JOP), which is the official publication of the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), that smile can also be a good indicator of healthy teeth and gums. The study found that those with periodontal, or gum disease had a tendency to smile less frequently and even deterred some from displaying positive emotions through a smile at all. "Since periodontal disease is prevalent in such a large number of adults, we sought to investigate if the disease affects a person's smiling behavior," said study author Dr. Marita R. Inglehart. "Smiling plays a significant and essential role in overall well-being. Previous findings suggest that smiling can affect social interactions, self-confidence and can influence how people perceive one another." Do you find yourself smiling less because of gum disease or a general dissatisfaction with your oral health? Maybe it's time you looked into getting a smile makeover? At My Dentist USA, you can find the perfect dentist that will put the spark back into your smile. Visit My Dentist USA today. Labels: articles

Tuesday, March 18, 2008The Laser: A New Approach to Gum Disease and Cold SoresNew laser technology has been developed and approved by the FDA to treat this disease. The laser is a light source from the infrared end of the spectrum that uses low energy power to treat the gums, often without anesthesia. That's right, oftentimes no injections are needed, even with deep pockets. The low power of the light kills the bacteria for up to three months (according to the leading periodontal journal), seals the vessels and nerve endings, and produces little if any pain for the first three days after the procedure. On the third day, the nerve endings begin to regenerate and what little pain there is can be managed quite well with Ibuprofen. Read the rest of the article here on My Dentist USA. Labels: articles
