Now Everyone Can Enjoy the Smile of Their Dreams!
Modern dental science has created a cornucopia of cosmetic wonders. For example, tooth whitening is possible by numerous methods and has become a safe, predictable procedure. A new product called Go-Smile can whiten teeth several shades by simply rubbing the material on one’s teeth twice daily for a week. Go-Smile is a safe, effective, comfortable, and inexpensive ($89 in our office) way to quickly enhance one’s smile.

Bonding is the art of employing a dental resin to change the shape and color of teeth without numbing shots or drilling of tooth structure being required. For two decades dentists have been able to repair fractured teeth, close unsightly spaces between teeth, make rotated teeth appear straight and countless other cosmetic wonders thanks to these marvelous materials that bond so tenaciously to tooth structure.
Veneers are thin layers of durable porcelain (less than a millimeter in thickness), that are three times stronger than enamel. Veneers are bonded over teeth to create whatever tooth shape or shade is desired. With the assistance of veneers, we can straighten crooked teeth, close gaps, and permanently lighten one’s smile. Within three weeks’ time (one appointment is needed to shape the teeth and take a model of them, a second to insert the veneers after a dental laboratory has fabricated them), veneers can create a cosmetic dental miracle that is sometimes referred to as “instant orthodontics.”
All-ceramic crowns repair teeth weakened by decay or fillings. Due to a filled or fractured tooth’s more vulnerable condition, more tooth structure must be removed than is needed for veneers. But all-ceramic crowns contain no metal, so they look naturally wonderful in any light. Never again need darkness around the gumline revealing the presence of existing crowns.
Valplast partial dentures have no metal clasps or frame. They are made entirely of a durable resin guaranteed by the company for life. They are incredibly light, flexible, and almost undetectable in a wearer’s mouth. They require no more work or expense than conventional metal-frame partials do to fabricate.
Cosmetic dentistry has something for every need and for every patient. Smile makeovers are no longer the exclusive right of the ultra-rich or movie stars. Today it is possible for everyone to have the smile of their dreams!
Healthy Gums for Healthy Babies
Our children are our future, so enlightened individuals and/or societies do everything possible to protect this most precious asset. But even in our affluent United States 12.3% of children are born preterm. According to an article published in the Journal Pediatrics, preterm infants are 75 times more likely to experience an early death. Long-term disabilities for surviving preterm children include lung abnormalities (such as asthma), cerebral palsy, neurological and developmental disabilities (such as low I.Q. and poor motor skills). Not surprisingly, surviving preterm children’s medical costs over their first five years of life average $20,000 greater than non-preterm children’s expenses.
There are many causes for preterm births, such as tobacco, alcohol, and drug use by the mother, mothers under the age of 18 or over 35, being underweight or overweight before pregnancy, and low socioeconomic status. But a less well-known and preventable risk has been identified over the past decade. This is an infection of the genitourinary tract called ‘ bacterial vaginitis. ‘ This condition leads to an inflammation of the maternal-fetus membranes (called chorioamnionitis) that may initiate preterm labor, or rupture of the involved membranes.
This inflammatory state has been linked to periodontal disease in mothers. A pregnant woman with active gum infections has been shown to experience 7.5 times, more adverse pregnancy outcomes than periodontally healthy mothers.
Studies have shown no risk to the fetus or mother if dental care is offered during the second or third trimester, but the ideal situation is to establish exemplary dental health before becoming pregnant!
If you are pregnant and have sore or bleeding gums, please seek the help of a dental professional. In addition to the risks detailed above, pregnancy gingivitis can become painful, and hamper one’s ability to eat and even sleep properly at this critical time in a mother’s and fetus’ life. If you are considering having a child, I’d urge you to be certain you have attained ideal oral health before conception. This is a marvelous gift, for you and your baby.
