What you can Learn in 10 min. that will Improve your Dental Health for a Lifetime

Practicing proper Oral Hygiene is essential to preventing toothdecay and gum disease.  Your teeth have 5 best friends and they are:  a Tooth Brush, Tooth Paste, Dental Floss, your Dental Hygienist and your Dentist.

Toothbrush: It is best to use a toothbrush with soft bristles. If your brush too hard your gums may begin to recede and enamel can get worn down It is a good idea to use an electric toothbrush, however it is not necessary. 

Toothpaste: Fluoride Toothpaste is recommended.  Not all toothpaste is made equally.  Avoid toothpaste with blue specks.

Dental Floss: It is said that flossing is just as important as brushing and it’s no wonder; floss reaches the places that your toothbrush can’t.  In other words you have 2 rows of teeth, 32 teeth in total, with 64 sides, of which 60 sides can only be cleaned by dental floss. That comes to 40% of your teeth that need to be cleaned by dental floss.

Dental Hygienist: DentalHygienists are educated and highly skilled professionals, who not only can clean your teeth clean but they also help to keep gums healthy.  Some people who are especially cavity prone have a cleaning every 4 months and by doing that greatly decrease their chances of having cavities.

Dentist: If your smile is healthy so are you. Studies have shown 90% of major systemic diseases have oral manifestations, for example diabetes, pancreatic cancer, heart and kidney disease.  Visit your Dentist regularly.

5 Ways to Maximize Your Dental Benefits Plan

Image
With terms like PPO, HMO, in-network, and out-of-network to describe dental benefits, it's no surprise that many don't understand how to make the most of their plan. This means you may be overlooking benefits that are critical to maintaining your oral health. Don't settle for just what you understand as part of your coverage. Read on for 5 simple tips to take advantage of everything your plan has to offer. Tip #1: Take Time to Understand Your Plan The best way to take advantage of your plan is to ensure you know the type of plan it is and its deductibles, copayments and annual maximums.

You are charged a relatively low copayment for office visits, procedures etc. There is no coverage if you visit an out-of-network provider. HMO's typically have no deductible or maximum.

WE CAN’T BE CLOSED MOUTH ABOUT THIS ANY LONGER . . .

The New Westfield Office under construction. New treatments, new technology -- there is always something new to ‘brush up’ on if a dentist is going to give his patients the excellence that they deserve. The Laser Dental Group dental professionals are always on top of the latest technology by attendance at many conferences and seminars in order to better serve their patients.   Apparently that knowledge has paid off with more and more people choosing The Laser Dental Group for their dental care needs. When we opened our first practice in Union, NJ at 1205 Coolidge Avenue in 1987 and then another office at 581 Westfield Avenue, Westfield in 2011 we were seeing an average number of patients per year.  I am grateful to our loyal patients for their ‘word of mouth’ marketing efforts! By reason of our many new patients and our wanting our old and new ‘family’ to feel comfortable, we are almost near completion of a brand new facility located at 301 Lenox Avenue in Westfield, NJ.
