Whitening methods such as power whitening work extremely well in
competent, professional hands. But sometimes, severely stained teeth
can be resistant to even the best treatments. One common example is
when staining has occurred in patients who took tetracycline, an
antibiotic. Not satisfied with the limitations of commercial
whitening methods on these difficult cases, Drs. Beaver and Leonard
are proud to be among the area’s first dentists to offer the KöR
Whitening Deep Bleaching System. This procedure can make even
severely stained teeth brilliantly white. If you’ve been
disappointed by other whitening methods, you will be amazed at the
results from this technique.

Natural-Looking,
Strong Fillings
Without Metal
Standard fillings have been made from silver-mercury amalgam for a
very long time. While they are a reasonable restoration, amalgams
have certain shortcomings. Metal does not bond well to teeth, so
decay leaks into the tooth over time. But the biggest reason many of
our patients are choosing the white bonded fillings has to do with
the remarkable difference in appearance. Many people just don’t want
a dark, obvious filling in their teeth. We offer modern restorations
that are a natural-looking white, contain no metals, and can
actually strengthen your teeth. They also bond very tightly with the
healthy part of the tooth so there is much less chance of decay in
the future.

For The Sake Of Your Heart-Clean Your Teeth
Perhaps, you have heard that conditions like high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, being overweight, being physically inactive, and having a family history of early heart disease exposes one to the risk of having a heart attack.
While certain risk factors cannot be changed, it is important to realise that you do have control over many others regardless of your age, background, or health status. Protecting your heart can be as simple as taking a brisk walk, taking healthy vegetable soup, maintaining a healthy weight and regularly but properly brushing your teeth.

Dental Emergencies
BROKEN TOOTH
Rinse dirt from injured area with warm water. Place cold compresses over the face in the area of the injury. Locate and save any broken tooth fragments. Immediate dental attention is necessary.
BLEEDING AFTER BABY TOOTH COMES OUT
Fold and pack a clean gauze or cloth over the bleeding area. Have the child bite on the gauze with pressure for 15 minutes. This may be repeated once; if bleeding persists, see a dentist.
PERMANENT TOOTH THAT IS KNOCKED OUT
Clean the area around the sore tooth thoroughly. Rinse the mouth vigorously with warm salt water or use dental floss to dislodge trapped food or debris. DO NOT clean or handle the tooth unnecessarily. Try to reinsert it in its socket. Have the child hold the tooth in place by biting on a clean gauze or cloth. If you cannot reinsert the tooth, transport the tooth in a cup containing milk or water. See a dentist IMMEDIATELY! Time is a critical factor in saving the tooth.
BROKEN BRACES AND WIRES
If a broken appliance can be removed easily, take it out. If it cannot, cover the sharp or protruding portion with cotton balls, gauze or chewing gum. DO NOT remove it. Take the child to a dentist immediately. Loose or broken appliances that do not bother the child usually do not require emergency attention.
CUT OR BITTEN TONGUE, LIP, OR CHEEK
Apply ice to bruised areas. If there is bleeding, apply firm but gentle pressure with a clean gauze or cloth. If bleeding does not stop after 15 minutes and if it cannot be controlled by simple pressure, take the child to a hospital emergency room.

Why Toothpaste Makes Everything Else Taste Bad (and How to Fix It)
Ever brush your teeth, then take a swig of
orange juice only to curse yourself for drinking such a vile combination?
Magazine and weblog Mental_Floss explains why this happens, and how to avoid it. The
strong minty flavor is probably part of the problem, as you’d expect, but Mental_Floss notes that it goes deeper than
that. Most toothpastes contain sodium laureth sulfate (and its counterparts,
sodium lauryl ether sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate), which is responsible
for making the toothpaste foam up in
your mouth. Its also responsible for everything tasting bad afterward:
While surfactants make brushing our teeth a
lot easier, they do more than make foam. Both SLES and SLS mess with our taste
buds in two ways. One, they suppress the receptors on our taste buds that
perceive sweetness, inhibiting our ability to pick up the sweet notes of food
and drink. And, as if that wasn’t enough, they break up the phospholipids on
our tongue. These fatty molecules inhibit our receptors for bitterness and keep
bitter tastes from overwhelming us, but when they’re broken down by the
surfactants in toothpaste, bitter tastes get enhanced.
Basically, they enhance bitter tastes and
inhibit sweet ones, making everything taste bad. There are lots of theories out
there, but this is currently the most widely accepted one.
The solution? You could brush your teeth
after breakfast, but many dental professionals say it’s better to brush
beforehand. So, the better option is to search for an SLS-free toothpaste the
next time you’re shopping. Speaking from experience, an SLS-free toothpaste
changes everything—I used one for a little while and never had the “disgusting
orange juice” debacle in the morning. Generally it doesn’t matter what kind of
toothpaste you buy, but if you must brush your teeth before breakfast, buying
one without SLS is a good idea. Of course, you could always brush your teeth in
the shower, too.
