Laser Treatment for Periodontal Disease

If you are facing periodontal procedures such as scaling and root planing, bone graft, (surgery) and a lengthy treatment plan, ask your Periodontist about Laser Therapy! It is a more effective, less invasive and less painful procedure with a fast recovery time and is safe for patients who may have specific health concerns such as HIV, diabetes and hemophilia, or who take certain blood thinning medications that could hinder or impair conventional treatment. In researching this, the only drawback that I found was that not all dentists are equipped with the Laser.....in fact, only a small number offer it as a treatment, so you'll have to do your homework to find a dentist that is certified and licensed to perform Laser Therapy.

Don't forget the sports mouth guard!

Do you like to play sports or have children who play? Did you know that it is normally a tooth to tooth contact that causes the tooth injuries? It is important to wear a mouth guard on the upper or lower teeth to cushion the teeth if you should take a blow to your mouth. You can even get custom mouth guards made so it is easier to talk and more comfortable. Here is a site with a little more info on the importance of them and the benefits it can provide.

Should You Fill Rotten Baby Teeth?

Filling rotten baby teeth may be an unnecessary as well as uncomfortable experience for children to endure, some experts say. About 40% of five-year-olds have tooth decay and at least one in ten is treated with fillings. But evidence from the case notes of 50 dentists suggests fillings may not offer significant benefits.

What are your feelings on restoring baby teeth?
