One tooth should be much less challenging and time consuming than working with several front teeth. However, in fact the opposite may often be the case. Changing a single front tooth is a significant cosmetic dentistry challenge from the perspective of the cosmetic dentist. When dealing with a single anterior tooth that needs to be restored, either a porcelain veneer or a porcelain crown, the restored single tooth must match exactly or have a highly compatible relationship to the teeth surrounding teeth in all a...

Studies have shown that many children have erosion of the dental enamel of at least one tooth. Orange juice although full of vitamins is a major culprit for young tooth erosion of the enamel. Parents can take some steps to cut down on dental enamel erosion in their children. These include: Limit the exposure of children to acid foods and drinks each day. Do not let children sip juice all through the day. Do not let children keep and swish acidic drinks around in their mouths. Have children rinse their mouths with water after eating foods or having acidic drinks. Children should brush their teeth regularly twice dail...

The author of the original article is Joanne Oppenheim, DDS, a pediatric dentist in Illinois. As Bellevue Cosmetic Dentists we do not normally print other peoples’ articles, but this discussion of stem cells harvested from baby teeth is something of very high interest for later life health of an individual. Therefore, we felt we should publish it on our blog site in its original and unedited form. The only thing is that the tissue culture cell photos by Dr Mao are not reproduced here. However, the tissue photos may be seen in the original article or in the article that we posted on our other Cosmetic Bellevue Dentist ...

I don’t think there’s been a more successful campaign in medicine as the addition of fluoride in the public water supply to reduce caries. We know fluoride works. Now we also have to think about the Baby Boomer Generation – people who will keep their teeth longer than ever. With the recession and economy as it stands today, Baby Boomers are prone to tooth decay 1) as they retain their teeth longer, 2) as they may not prioritize dental care due to finances or time constraints, and 3) their dexterity deteriorates an interferes with proper oral homecare. In my office, we’ve moved away from fluoride gels and toward the fluoride varnish by 3M. I like this product because after a standard prophy... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2890786 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:04:20 +0100 2890786 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2804100&cid=t_228341_125_f&fid=38880&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brooksidedental.com%2Fblog%2Fbellevue-dentist-patients-are-uniquely-different-and-have-different-needs-and-desires BELLEVUE DENTIST PATIENTS HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS AND DESIRES BELLEVUE DENTIST WEBSITE BELLEVUE DENTISTRY Should Be Tailored for the Unique Needs of Each Patient. At our Bellevue Dentist Office, it would be nice if every patient that called us after a referral from a friend or after visiting our website fit into a cookie-cutter mold for dental services. Everyone would get the same dental work done at the same cost and, most importantly, they’d all see the same positive results and have the same beautiful smiles. An additional benefit to both the patients and dentists would be no hassle insurance, since the insurance companies would be paying the same amount for everyone. Unfortunately that is not how dentistry works. In reality, the needs and desires of each of our Bellevue Dental pati...

She’ll interview practices on the phone, then send the kids in for a checkup once she finds a winner. If the kids approve of the experience, Mom and Dad will book appointments. But kids can be a headache in the dental chair. Squirming, screaming, covering their mouths – taking up a lot of your time and ruining your day. DentalProductsReport.com (and the print version) features an article by Eileen White entitled, “Is This Your Worst Nightmare?” this month. It reviews how treating kids can be rewarding and profitable. Hard to believe, I know. What’s not hard to believe is that fewer general dentists are treating kids, according to a DPR survey. This means there’s a window of opportunity standing wide open for you.
