If you have an FSA

If you who have a Flexible Spending Account for your health insurance and are running out of time to spend your annual healthcare budget, here is something to consider. Why not replace those old black fillings now?

You are being presented with an opportunity to take care of an unhealthy condition many people simply ignore. Black or silver fillings are called amalagam fillings and contain metals that are toxic to the body. Over time, mercury from those fillings can leech into your system. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to replace amalgam fillings with white resin fillings.

White fillings do not contain harmful chemicals and offer long-term, strong fillings and support for a tooth. In addition, they white resin fillings blend in with your teeth so you do not have the look of dark fillings. Both aesthetically and from a health and wellness point off view, white fillings are superior.

So, if you have a balance you must use in your FSA, please contact us today about getting those amalgam fillings replaced by the end of the year.

Top 10 reasons that Dental Veneers can look fake

Do you want to improve your smile? Do you have spaces, crowding, discolored teeth and hate smiling? Well there are many options in transforming your smile such as whitening, bonding and porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are the best way to make changes that are permanent. You can pick the look, color and shape of how you would like your smile to look, but is the dentist qualified? Its very important to research the dentist and his experience with cosmetic dentistry. Does he or she have the formal cosmetic training to take on this important job. Dr.Rose has seen allot of really bad cosmetic dentistry and has fixed allot of it as well. Here are a few reasons veneers can look fake:

1. Teeth that are all made at the same length
2. Teeth are made whiter than the whiteness of your eyes
3. Showing more teeth in your smile that are a different color than the veneers
4. Veneers that are monochromatic in color without any characterization
5. Veneers that are done by a dentist and a dental technician who have not had formal cosmetic dental training
6. There is no Veneer mock up done by the dentist
7. Patient does not have a trial set of veneers to verify shape and shade
8. The Veneers do not match patients face profile
9. A gum line that is uneven and was not contoured
10. Patients bite was never considered in overall facial esthetics's

Hope this may help you in makeing decisions, when it comes to your very important smile makeover. If you have any further questions fill free to give us a call 866-76-SMILE

Healthy Gums

Home care is important to maintaining healthy gums. You know the routine, brush following meals, regular flossing and proper brushing technique to stimulate the gums. That is what you can do, but regular cleanings from a dentist are important, too.

Deep cleanings like we provide remove the placque buildup in the hard to reach places that fall short in home care. And, since everyone is different, there are a multitude of places you might be missing even though you do an excellent job with home care.

I like to remind you to come in for a cleaning periodically because gum disease can be very harmful to your gums and teeth. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is entirely preventable but can cause major damage way beyond bleeding gums. And, gum disease has a proven link to heart disease. Managing your dental health and overall wellness includes healthy gums.

So, please call us to schedule a cleaning to make sure that your prevention of gum disease is complete beyond your home care.

Obesity and Gum Disease

According to the National Institute of Health, metabolic syndrome sometimes referred to as syndrome X, affects about 47 million adults in the United States (almost 25%). The number of people diagnosed with this condition is increasing and is intimately linked to the rise in obesity rates among adults as well as our youth.
Obesity, metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis are linked with increased inflammatory activity. Periodontal therapy produces significant changes in markers of inflammation and may benefit individuals with both metabolic syndrome and perio disease, potentially reducing the risks for coronary artery disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. More studies will certainly be needed to affirm these results. For more details visit www.PERIOeducation.com.periofrogz
