 Avoid the last minute rush!
Haven't been in for a cleaning or maybe overdue? Maybe you thought about waiting to the end of the year to finish your dental treatment? Now is the time!
The year 2007 is coming to a close and wouldn't you want to look your best at your holiday party?
Dr. Widen's schedule is becoming full! We urge you to call and reserve your appointment today.
Do you have a flexible spending account that you would like to use? After all if you don't use it, you may loose it. Did you know that you might even be able to write off some of your dental work? (ask your tax accountant to see if you qualify)
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 during your holiday party or when the office is closed. We would also like to help you maximize your insurance benefits as well taking care of all your oral health needs.
During the holiday season our office will be closed on Tuesday, December 25th
and
Monday, December 31st - Monday, January 6th 2008.
 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? Cosmetic dentistry is no longer just for the rich and famous. Treatments are faster 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! Your smile will look so natural that your friends will wonder what has changed!

 Season's Greetings!
The holiday season is here again and with it a chance for us to give our guests and friends a heartfelt thank you for your loyalty and friendship during the past year. We feel honored to have had the opportunity to perform life-changing smile makeovers on some of our guests. Our guests with TMJ pain are feeling more comfortable after treatment, taking less medication and able to live more productive lives. Watching their self confidence grow made it all worthwhile. We hope your holidays are happy, healthy and filled with family and friends. We look forward to seeing you in the new year.
Warmly,
Dr. Widen, Margaret and Nichole

Premedicate, no more!
Many of our guests have been diagnosed with MPV or mitral valve prolapse and needed to take antibiotics before any dental treatment. This is no longer the case. Unless, you are in a high-risk group the new American Heart Association guidelines recommend no premedication prior to dental appointments. Most patients with total joint replacements do not need to premedicate, except for the first two years post surgery. If you are concerned, please call the office at 312-266-0044 to speak to Dr. Widen, call your physician or check out the ADA's web site.
 High-Tech Treatment!
Did you know bad bites can cause a multitude of problems? Some of these include headaches and migraines, neck and shoulder pain, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), pressure behind the eyes, cracked or worn teeth, noise and pain in the jaw joints and even numbness in the arms and fingers. Dr. Widen can look beyond the teeth and joints and see how your muscles are working! If all are working harmoniously the symptoms of TMD, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, disappear. There is a fundamental relationship between body and head posture and bite relationships. Dr. Widen can determine if your symptoms are caused by your bite and find your correct bite position.
So, you want a new smile and plan on doing veneers! If you restore your teeth to the old bite you may develop TMJ symptoms, wear or break you new veneers, just as you did your natural teeth. It would be better to restore them to a more physiologic, comfortable bite. Your proper bite is found by using high-tech equipment to relax your jaw and neck muscles and measure the muscle activity. We determine the quietest, most comfortable position for the jaw and we then capture this new 'relaxed' position. Your jaw is stabilized with an orthotic at this position and will allow your joints to heal. Once your symptoms are relieved and you bite has stabilized, we can now restore your teeth.
If you are having any of these symptoms and were thinking of having dental work done please contact our office.

 Optimal Oral Health Naturally
Ignoring your dental health can lead to tooth and gum problems but also other systemic, potentially fatal diseases. A recent study found diabetcs with gum disease have more than twice the risk of premature death than diabetics with good oral care. The links between periodontal (gum) disease and diabetes, kidney and heart disease as well as pancreatic cancer have been found. According to Life Extensions Magazine, pomegranate extract can be beneficial.
Pomegranates contain polyphenols that posess strong anti-bacterial properties. Rinsing with the extract decreased bacterial growth by 84% which is very promising. Minimizing the bacteria that occur in dental plaque pomegranate extract may prove to be a serious benefit to thoose seeking to improve their oral health naturally.
