Dentists Are Your First Line Of Defense
When most people think of going to the dentist, they often think of things that are unpleasant - maybe one of those root canal they heard about, the sting of the Novocain, or that dental office smell. Well, if you haven't been to the dentist in a while (some patients wait ten or fifteen years sometimes), then today is the day to change.
Root Canal Explained - It's Really Not A Big Deal Any Longer
So, what's the big deal about a root canal? There's a stigma that comes with the words - root canal! Are they painful, do they take forever, what's the deal with that green rubber dam thing? Before today's technology and anesthetics, root canals were not the most fun things in the world to experience.
Dental Hygiene Is The Simple Answer
What is the best and most inexpensive way to prevent the majority of dental problems I see on a daily basis - well, the answer is dental hygiene. Dental hygiene is all about removing the plaque and tartar off your teeth.
Cone Beam 3D CT Scan
New in 2011 at Beaverton Smile Center is a cone beam 3D CT scan. I know it sounds like a lot of foreign language, but I’m going to explain what the scanner is in this article, and how it is going to improve your dental treatment.
Gag Reflex Is No Longer A Problem
A hypersensitive gag reflex is one of the top reasons, often for years, why people avoid the dentist, while anxiety is still number one. The focus of my practice is sedation and sleep dentistry, and it is with delight that I can tell you how sedation dentistry can eliminate the gag reflex, thereby allowing a comfortable visit.
Crohn's Disease
I have been seeing more and more patients with Crohn's Disease. This autoimmune disease affects roughly half a million people in North America. Crohn's disease affects the entire gastrointestinal system, including the mouth. The oral manifestations of Crohn's in the mouth can be quite severe.
General Dentistry For Your Teeth's Ongoing Health
General dentistry is most thought of when going to the dentist and getting your teeth cleaned. This quite possibly is the most important part of going to the dentist. Regular visits to our office (at least twice annually) for a professional cleaning, x-rays and an all around checkup.
