Coffee - It may even prevent cavities!

Coffee May Help Prevent Cavities
ScienceDaily (Mar. 8, 2002) — A new research study indicates that coffee might help prevent cavities. The finding is reported in the Feb. 27 print issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a peer-reviewed publication of the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific society.

I drink one cup in the morning and a cup in the afternoon. Of course everything in moderation is the general rule. There are plenty of health benefits that coffee offers, but add cavity fighting to the list!

Eat more YOGURT! It's good for you.

Cures Bad Breath: Yogurt is a natural cure for bad breath and can reduce halitosis by up to 80% in subjects. Levels of plaque and gingivitis were found to be lower among daily consumers of yogurt.

I have recommended this to my patients and they have reported great results.

Clear Orthodontic Aligners

A few of my patients have expressed interest in straightening their teeth, but do not want the traditional wires and brackets of the traditional orthodontic treatment. Although, clear orthodontic aligners have limitations that are limited to 1.crowded upper arch 2.upper arch spacing 3.rotated upper incisor 4.crowded lower arch 5.generalized lower spacing 6.and trapped lower lateral....use of the aligners are quite successful when worn for the proper time recommendations.
The all-new Simpli5 is your fast and simple aligner system for minor-to-moderate anterior crowding or spacing. Simpli5 consists of up to five sequential trays for dual- and single-arch cases. Each tray generates up to 1/2mm of movement, or 5mm overall for a dual arch case.
I have had wonderful results for my patients that have undergone this treatment modality and you might be a candidate if your teeth are comparable to the pictures in my orthodontic examples. Please give us a call at 949-551-5600 for an evaluation. All the best, Xerxez.

Nitrous sedation - relaxing dentistry

If you are someone who fears going to the dentist, then nitrous sedation might be something that can help you transition from that fear that keeps you from getting regular dental care. Nitrous oxide is mixed with oxygen in a safe combination so that you can relax during your dental procedures. Nitrous oxide is a gas that you inhale through a nose-piece while routine dental procedures are performed. It has no lasting effects when you stop inhaling the gas and usually takes about 10 minutes of breathing regular oxygen and air to get back to your normal daily routine. Couple this with your favorite music while listening to your ipod and you will find an effective way to get relaxing dentistry done.
Hope this helps. Give us a call at 949-551-5600 if you have any questions regarding this safe and effective procedure to help with your fear of dentistry.
All the best,
