Refer A Friend
Referrals are the life-blood of our practice. I
want to personally thank all of our guests who have
referred their friends and family. It is the highest
compliment that I could receive. I appreciate your
confidence and trust. For those who are happy with the
treatment they have received and have not referred
anybody, please spread the holiday cheer this year by
referring your friends, co-workers and family members!
They will enjoy the same dental treatment that you are
accustomed to in a warm, gentle, caring and friendly
office. Our hi-tech diagnosis and treatment will provide
them with beautiful long lasting restorations that are
something to smile about.
Some things are too good to keep
to yourself, so refer a friend
today! | |

 Start Your
New Year
Resolutions Early!!
Haven't been in for a cleaning in some
time? Putting off some needed work until it hurts?
The best time to fix a leaky roof is when it is not
raining! Now is the time to
act!
2010 is almost upon us
and with it a new year for you to feel and look your
best!
An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure! I am sure you have heard that
before.
Do you have any sensitive teeth or
bleeding gums? These are signs you should not be
ignoring.
Schedule an appointment today!
Most importantly, prompt treatment can avoid more
extensive and more expensive dental procedures. What is
simple now, can turn into a more severe problem later.
We would hate for you to have a problem arise at an
inconvenient time or when the office is closed.
 First
Impressions
Your dazzling smile can be one of your best assets. The
first thing people see when you walk into a room is your
smile. Don't you want to make your best first
impression? Treatments are fast and more affordable then
ever before. Porcelain veneers can transform your dull,
worn, fractured teeth and make them beautiful again.
Making you more confident and making you look years
younger! This is an investment that you can see every
time you look in the mirror. Your smile will look so
natural that your friends will wonder what has changed!

 Can a mouthguard make you
stronger?
There was talk on Monday Night Football regarding
this special mouthguard the players were wearing
that improved their performance. This also
was mentioned in the Chicago Tribune and
it is true that neuromuscular dentistry can
improve your bite as well as your
performance.
The
mouthguard is based on the same
neuromuscular principles that I use when
trying to optimize one's bite. An improper
bite can lead to poor blood flow, muscle imbalance
and posture issues. When the the jaw is placed is
a more physiologic position and the muscles are
more relaxed, blood flow increases, the muscles
become more balanced and stronger. Plus, you
get the added benefit of ridding yourself of some
of the signs and symptoms of a poor
bite.
Being a trained
neuromuscular dentist I can
help you eliminate TMJ symptoms
which can include migraines, headaches, neck
aches, ringing in the
ears, dizziness, ear congestion, pain or
noise in the jaw joints and
others.
Click
here to see more information about TMJ
dysfunction.
With
timely treatment these symptoms can improve or
disappear completely. Call us at
312-266-0044 if you want to discuss a problem you
may be having.
Manual or
Electric?
If done
properly a manual toothbrush can be just as
effective as an electric version. Using
short strokes of the brush at a 45 degree angle to
the tooth at the gumline the tooth and gums can be
cleaned well. Two minutes should be
spent at each brushing, which means about 30
seconds in each quarter of your
mouth.
For that
just went to the dentist clean teeth
feeling, one of the new ultrasonic
or rotary/oscillating brushes work great.
They have some great features such as timers to
know when to move to the next section, indicators
that prevent you from brushing too hard, and
different speed setting for more sensitive
areas. The Sonicare or Oral-B Braun can be
purchased at our office. We will also
be more than happy to show you how to use
them.
Any of these
instruments can keep your mouth plaque free
if used properly and in combination with other
dental cleaning aids such
as; floss, mouthwashes, and water
piks.
Ideally, teeth are made to last a limetime.
If taken care of properly you can enjoy your teeth
for the rest of your life. If you are
concerned about yours please call the office at
312-266-0044 to schedule an
appointment. | | |

Dentistry
in the News!
What we
have
found
that may benefit
you!
Stop Cavities
in their earliest stages without
drilling!
Do you have cavities
starting between your teeth? With this
revolutionary new breakthrough, cavities can be
stopped and the tooth sealed without drilling or
shots. No longer do we have to drill
precious tooth away to fill a small cavity in
between the teeth. This saves healthy tooth
structure from being
lost.
Call us at
312-266-0044 if you would like more information or
to see if you are a candidate for this
procedure.
No More White Spots
!
Do you have white
spots on your front teeth and want to get rid of
them without drilling?
There is a new treatment that will eliminate the
white decalcifications left by braces and early
cavities. A simple painfree procedure will
eliminate those ugly white spots without any
drilling or damage to the natural tooth. This will
also seal those areas to prevent future
decay!
If you are
interested in learning more about this procedure
please call the office at 312-266-0044.
Is A Cosmetic Dentistry Tax On The
Horizon?
There is a new
addition to the Senate health care reform bill
that could have massive consequences for
dentistry: a proposed 5% tax on cosmetic surgery
and procedures and cosmetic dentistry will
probably be included.
Now would be a great time to have those veneers or
any other cosmetic procedure done to avoid this
probable 5% tax. Call us to schedule an
appointment.
