Dental

During your exam, your dentist will look for and explain areas of future concern as well as any current issues. Pay attention to this information and use it as an opportunity to ask follow-up questions.

Ask your dentist for a summary of your overall dental health, how you can better manage your daily care, and any other areas you can improve.

A few specific dental care questions you can ask include:

• Am I brushing and flossing correctly?
• Can you demonstrate proper brushing and flossing technique?
• Are the dental tools I’m using the best choice for my teeth?
• How do my gums look?
• Are there any teeth we need to keep a closer eye on?

In addition to these questions, make sure to mention any problems you’re experiencing, even if they seem minor. If you have pain, sensitivity, or abnormalities, bring them up! Remember, catching issues early on is the key to successful treatment and the best way to ensure lifelong dental health.

We often tell our patients to think of their mouth as a window to their overall health. This is because a range of whole-body health issues begin by displaying symptoms in the mouth. For example, certain changes in your mouth can be a sign of conditions such as:

• Diabetes
• Vitamin deficiencies
• Osteoporosis

Additionally, research suggests common dental issues like gum disease can lead to heart disease, stroke, and other problems like premature birth.

Your time with the dentist is a great time to ask if there are any dental concerns you should discuss with your primary care provider. Find out if your dentist needs to know anything from your doctor as well. For instance, let your dentist know if you recently started taking medication, as it could cause dental complications (like dry mouth).

Did you know that the foods you eat affect more than your general body health? They also play a role in the health of your teeth and gums!

In general, eating a diet rich in protein, leafy greens, and whole fruit is great for your mouth. While sugary, sticky, and acidic foods can cause cavities and should be avoided. Additionally, coffee, tea, and wine can stain your teeth.

If you have concerns about how your diet choices might be affecting your teeth, talk to your dentist. Together you can can discuss what food choices might be causing issues for your dental health.

Keep in mind that over-the-counter teeth whitening kits can actually do more harm than good. Many will cause tooth sensitivity and damage the roots of your teeth. Your dentist can prescribe a professional teeth whitening treatment to help you achieve a smile you’re proud of.

If you get nervous before visiting the dentist, you’re not alone. An estimated 60% of the population has anxiety about going to the dentist. It’s okay to be nervous as long as you don’t let it stop you from taking care of your mouth.

Yes, the results of hair restoration surgery are permanent since the hair transplanted from donor area are not susceptible to balding.

Also known as Fitzpatrick skin type, it is basically telling how dark your skin is, its level of melanin and what settings the technician needs to use for your skin. The determination of your skin type is the first and most important step in any laser skin or hair reduction procedure, because almost all the settings are based on that. You might want to write down the type at each place you visit to see how they differ.

Depending on the settings – speed, intensity and pain numbing gel applied before treatment your experience will vary. Note, however, that if it doesn’t hurt – you’re doing it wrong. There are, of course, cases, when laser treatment goes lightly on you, but it is not the rule. Your skin should give you some feedback, so if you are treated for the first three times and you don’t feel anything – chances are the technician isn’t killing follicles, but just burning hair on the surface. Which means you will keep coming back for treatments again and again.
