Lifesaving Facts About Oral Cancer

Lifesaving Facts About Oral Cancer

Cancer is a disease that shows no discrimination. What makes oral cancer so scary is that it is often not diagnosed until a late stage, In fact, only one-third of all oral cancers are diagnosed in an early stage. While typically thought to affect older people, it’s now more prevalent in younger age groups. These facts make it crucial that you maintain good oral health, live a healthy lifestyle (including diet, proper exercise, and avoiding tobacco and alcohol), and have oral cancer exams during your routine dental checkups.

Oral cancer can often mimic a harmless mouth sore. If you notice any unusual sores or ulcers anywhere in your mouth that do not heal within 2-3 weeks, contact our office or a physician to make an appointment as soon as possible. To learn more about the causes and treatment options for oral cancer, read the article “ Oral Cancer .”

Dental Implants versus Fixed Bridgework—Which Option is Best for You?

Dental Implants versus Fixed Bridgework—Which Option is Best for You?

If you are about to have a permanent tooth extracted, understanding the options is critical as implants and bridgework both have their pros and cons. An implant is actually a root replacement; however, unlike the root of a tooth, the implant actually fuses to the jawbone with a permanent crown attached to it. Implants function and look just like natural teeth. By contrast, a fixed bridge is a restoration or prosthesis (replacement part) that is fixed in place by attaching it to adjacent natural teeth. Learn more in the side-by-side illustrative comparison by reading the article “ Implants vs. Bridgework .”

Understanding TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder)

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 02:35:26 GMT

Understanding TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder)

Temporomandibular Disorder or TMD as it is more commonly known, is a painful condition. Sometimes referred to as “the great imposter” the character or nature of the discomfort or pain can be the same for many different conditions. It occurs when there are problems with the temporo-mandibular or jaw joint and the muscles attached to it. The most common cause is from subconscious clenching or grinding of the teeth. However, other common diagnoses that can cause TMD include underlying dental conditions leading to muscle pain, internal joint derangement, osteoarthritis or synovitis (inflammation of the lining membranes of the TMJ). Regardless of what causes the pain, obtaining the proper evaluation and treatment is vital and can only be made by a dental professional. Learn more in “ TMD—Understanding the Great Imposter .”

The Latest Trailblazer in Dentistry—Lasers

No longer reserved for science-fiction movies, lasers have revolutionized medicine and are now blazing new trails in dentistry. Ever since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of lasers in dentistry in 1991 for soft tissue surgery, their acceptance and use continues to grow. Now lasers are used for disease diagnosis; soft tissue (gums, lips, and tongue) procedures such as biopsies, reshaping gums, and removal of benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) lesions; and hard tissue (enamel, dentin, and bone) procedures such as decay removal and cavity preparation of enamel and dentin of the teeth. Learn more about this revolutionary tool in “ Lasers Shine a Light on Dentistry .”

Are Dental Implants Right For You

Fri, 14 Sep 2012 03:00:54 GMT

Are Dental Implants Right For You

Now that the kids are back in school, you can shift your focus and do something for yourself. If you are self-conscious about missing teeth, or wearing dentures, there’s an alternative that may be right for you: dental implants.

Nothing can take the place of a healthy set of natural teeth. However, when disease or accident result in tooth loss, it’s good to know there are options for restoring your smile. A dental implant offers comfort and stability, and by virtue of the artificial tooth it supports, is a restoration that is the closest thing to a natural tooth. Not only do dental implants help you regain your confidence, but they are also a healthy alternative.

Implants fuse with your jawbone, offering a firm support to man-made teeth. Dentures, bridges or single teeth mounted to the implants won’t shift or slip in your mouth – a very important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit feels more natural than typical bridges or dentures because it helps preserve the bone after teeth are lost or extracted. Implants are also a good value, because they can last a lifetime with good care.

Are dental implants right for you?

Modern technology can accommodate a variety of oral health conditions, making implants a viable option for anyone looking to not only improve their smile, but also their oral health. Dental implants are also a more economical solution because unlike a bridge, implants rarely need to be replaced.

The development and use of implants has been one of the biggest advances in dentistry in the past 40 years. U.S. dentists place more than 5.5 million implants annually, based on research from the American Dental Association (ADA).

Ready for Implants?

Dental implants are changing the way people live! With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life again.

The first step towards a beautiful, healthy smile is to schedule and appointment. Call us at (732) 747-0993 and one of our staff members would be happy to schedule you for a free consult. Mention code DIBLOG when making your appointment. Free consults are available until October 15, 2012.
