Question number four. What do I look for when searching for a new dentist? There are several things to consider here. Number one, when you’re searching for a new dentist you want to call the office and ask the staff member if the dentist wears dental loops.

If the staff member answers no to this question, run.

Number two, should people be concerned about the radiation from dental x-rays? Patients frequently declined dental x-rays because they’re worried about the harmful effects and the potential radiation exposure they can be experiencing. The answer to this question is that while dental x-rays do produce radiation, the amount or dose is infinitely small and does not pose a risk. Not to mention with the advent of things like protective barriers and digital sensors, dentist are further reducing the amount of exposure to their patients. For comparison, here are a few things that most people come across in their daily […]

Comprehensive dentistry doesn’t just involve the mouth. It also involves the Temporomandibular joint, or jawbone, as well as the nervous system of the head. I’ve got some patients who come to me with migraines, and I only get this information from them because it’s important to me to ask all the questions when they fill out their medical history. For some patients, I’ve fixed their migraine problem. They no longer have migraines, and the reason for that is because the nerves that supply the mouth also supply the temporalis, or the head.

What a lot of patients don’t realize is that if they’ve worn their front teeth down so much, they can do a couple of different things.
Number one, if the front teeth are worn down, the back teeth are more than likely worn down because there’s more force that’s generated the further back that you go as opposed to in the front.

We use a composite and it’s made of quartz and resins and it’s basically a soft material when it’s placed and then it becomes just as rigid as your tooth structure. Scientists have tried to mimic all the properties of the tooth, so that means how they respond under compressive forces, how the tooth would respond under tensile forces, which would be pulling, so we attempt to mimic the tooth as closely as possible.
