Dental Fear and Anxiety Solutions
Dental fear is very common and, if it’s moderate to severe, we call it dental phobia. The amazing thing is that avoiding the dentist because of fear has far more serious consequences than whatever actually happens in the dentist’s chair.
Some Common Causes of Dental Fear:
1) Fear of pain
2) Fear of the doctor or staff making you feel guilty because you put off the care you needed.
3) Fear of the cost
This article deals primarily with the first one on the list, fear of pain.
A generation ago if something was really difficult it was described as
“like pulling teeth.”
Nowadays, if something is really unpleasant the saying is
“I’d rather have a root canal!”
If a Martian came to earth and heard these sayings, he would probably fear the dentist before he ever went to see one.
Many of us fear the dentist because of experiences which took place in our childhood. The techniques that were available to dentists a generation ago were archaic compared to today.
The attitude of dentists from years ago was not terribly sympathetic. As a result, a patient may recall a lot of pain in his childhood while having their dental care and not a lot of empathy. The dentist often told the patient that he would just have to manage or, worse, that it “isn’t that bad.” Things like “I’m almost finished, just hang on” were commonly heard years ago.
Many children had a difficult experience in the dental chair. This often affected them for the rest of their lives.
Things have changed!
If you have bad memories about injections, having dentistry done, noises and all kinds of “fun stuff”, there are solutions now that make dentistry very comfortable. The injections can be made nearly painless, the shrill sound of the dentist’s drill can be blocked, and there are many answers to the smells, sounds and anxieties many patients have. For those who are especially sensitive or fearful, one answer might be sedation dentistry.
Who would be an ideal candidate for sedation dentistry?
Most people are candidates for sedation dentistry, but those people who appreciate it most are the ones who are the most afraid of going to the dentist. The list of people who can benefit is actually quite long. It’s for people who:
· Have trouble getting numb
· Have had a traumatic dental experience
· Have sensitive teeth
· Want all of their dentistry done in usually one or two visits
· Hate needles and shots
· Hate noises, smells, and tastes associated with dental care.
· Are afraid and embarrassed about their teeth.
· Have a bad gag reflex
· Toothaches or Headaches
· Hate drills or the smell of the dental office
Just to name a few.
Because they have avoided the dentist for so many years, people develop problems with their teeth, gums, bones, bite and jaw.
They go to incredible lengths to compensate for the appearance that develops.
Some people learn to talk without showing their teeth.
Some never smile.
Some never eat in public.
Why? For some it’s all because of dental fear developed in childhood.
The sad thing is that it is fear of pain that is no longer felt in a dentist’s chair.
What is even sadder is that postponing dental care leads to even bigger problems and is bound to cause real pain.
The right thing to do is:
"Find a Dentist That Meets Your Needs and You are Comfortable With"
so you no longer have to experience “Old Time Dentistry”.

Porcelain Veneers
Are Porcelain Veneers Instant Orthodontics?
Porcelain veneers have been available in dentistry for over 25 years. Lately, the “brand names” Lumineers and Empress veneers have become popular either through advertising or public awareness. However, the concept and the process is not new.
Porcelain Veneers are thin, carefully fabricated pieces of porcelain shaped to fit over the front of the tooth. They are sometimes called porcelain laminates or porcelain laminate veneers.
Veneers can be used to cover, reshape or cosmetically enhance:
1. gaps or spaces
2. stains or discoloration
3. chips, cracks, pits and even fractures
4. crooked or otherwise poorly positioned teeth
Veneers can also be used as a substitute for orthodontic braces. Adults who prefer to avoid the time and appearance of braces now have an option that can change the size and shape of their teeth. Some dentists will call veneers “instant orthodontics” because you can have “instant” correction of crooked or crowded front teeth.
They can alter the shape of your face and the appearance of your smile by adjusting the size of your teeth. Best of all is the small amount of time involved.
Benefits of veneers
Veneers will not stain (they have a glazed surface just like your china).
They are durable and last many years.
They are strong enough to chew food like natural teeth.
They look just like natural teeth.
They are an immediate solution, unlike orthodontic work (instant orthodontics).
Years ago, when a patient wanted cosmetic correction of crowded teeth or poorly shaped teeth, he / she often would choose to have crowns placed to recontour them. However, this involved “grinding the teeth down”, in other words, removing a lot of the solid good tooth structure just for cosmetic reasons. Porcelain Veneers can be placed with either very little or no removal of enamel. So the procedure is very conservative.
The treatment is virtually painless. It’s really no more involved than having a few fillings or a crown. A couple of hours in a dental chair and you can laugh freely without even thinking about your teeth.
An overwhelming majority of 85% considers a person's smile to be important when meeting someone for the first time.
You CAN Have the Smile you’ve always dreamed of…painlessly and quickly!
How can you get such wonderful results? Simple: There are so many new advanced methods in dentistry that can ‘fix’ any dental problem. What these new methods do is allow us to correct embarrassing, twisted, crooked, or gapped teeth usually in 1-2 visits.
You can have a more attractive, confident, glowing smile without having to go through any long, uncomfortable, or frustrating procedures. Imagine seeing more positive cosmetic enhancing results in the same amount of time it takes to do your hair and make up. Even the “ugliest, most distorted, discolored teeth” have been miraculously transformed in as little as two visits.
You Can't Hide Ugly, Chipped, Stained or Crooked Teeth...
But you CAN Fix Them Quickly AND Comfortably...
If you have always wished you could have brighter teeth, differently shaped or positioned teeth or a different smile and facial appearance, veneers are a very popular option to discuss with your dentist.

Dentures & Dental Implants: Help You Look Younger & Chew Better
"Dentures & Dental Implants That Will...
Help You Look Younger and Chew Better"
When you go out to a restaurant, do you order the food you truly want?
· Or do you order bland, soft-textured food…just to avoid the frustration and
embarrassment of your dentures in front of family and friends?
· Be honest – would you like to sink your teeth into a mouth watering
16 oz. Porterhouse steak?
· Would you like to be able to eat corn on the cob again?
· Or enjoy a juicy Granny Smith Apple?
Do You Worry About:
· Dentures coming loose as you laugh, cough or sneeze?
· A thick layer of nasty tasting denture adhesives interfering with your enjoyment of
food?
· Wrinkles from loss of bone and tissue to support the delicate muscles of your lips, cheeks,
the corners of your mouth and your face?
· Sores from loose fitting dentures rubbing your gums?
· MISSING teeth, FAILING teeth, or Ill-Fitting dentures that just don’t work?
· Being tired of social embarrassment or looking older than you are?
· Are you sick and tired of ill-fitting dentures, missing, or worn out teeth?
There is a solution; and this solution can literally give you:
Teeth that are 90% of the Strength of Your Original Teeth.
“What are Dental Implants… and How Do They Work?
Today implants are a common procedure. Implants are used to replace one or more missing teeth, to support non-removable permanent bridges for multiple teeth, or to better support a full or partial denture with clasps or retention bars. Because they also help maintain bone, they can help prevent additional tooth loss and a sunken facial appearance.
Three separate pieces are involved: the implant (which fuses to your bone), an abutment that screws on the implant, and a crown that is cemented or screwed on the abutment.
Once the implant, made from titanium, is surgically placed in the bone, it takes about four months for it to become integrated into the jaw. A life-like ceramic porcelain tooth restoration is then matched to the original tooth color and attached to the implant abutment. These feel more natural than conventional replacement bridges or dentures.
Am I A Candidate for Dental Implants?
To be a candidate for implants, you must be reasonably healthy and have enough bone to support the implants. If you do not have adequate bone, then there are other options, which can be discussed at a consultation.
Types of Dental Implants
Implants usually involve one surgery with the placement of a temporary crown or prosthesis that stays in place for about four months until the permanent crown or prosthesis is permanently cemented. Although it may take up to four months for the bone to grow around the implant and firmly hold it in place, “immediate load” implants have recently become popular.
Immediate load implants are just that. If you have excellent bone quality, there is sometimes enough support for the implant to bear the weight of light chewing and a tooth replacement right away. Frequently, patients who have broken a tooth off to the point where the tooth has a poor prognosis, can have an implant placed the same day that the tooth is extracted. They walk in the front door of the implant dentist’s office with their own tooth, and walk out with a temporary crown cemented on top of an implant. In ONE APPOINTMENT!!!
They’re never without their front tooth!
You Will Look 10 Years Younger
Dental Implants assist you in looking and feeling younger, because they prevent bone loss. By preventing bone loss that would normally occur with the loss of teeth, your facial structures remain normal and intact. The chances of wrinkling and the look of old age before your time is less likely. Implants prevent the bone loss that would normally occur with the loss of teeth. In other words, everyday that you continue to wear dentures, or have missing teeth, you are experiencing bone loss, which makes you look much older than you have to. By using dental implants, your facial structures and jaw remains strong, healthy, and intact. This is especially important when all of the teeth are missing, because the lower one-third of your face begins to collapse if implants are not placed to preserve the bone.
Overall quality of life is enhanced with replacement teeth that look, feel and function more like natural teeth. You will look younger and more attractive which allows you to be even more confident and enjoy smiling, laughing, and talking with others.
You might now live longer, because you’ll get to eat better and prevent malnutrition or stomach problems! Fresh vegetables, corn, and fruits are back on the menu! You can now eat the foods you like. Also, since your chewing is improved, your digestion will be even better as well!
More Confidence in social situations. Patients love their new implants, because of their improved appearance, function, comfort and health. When you go out in public, you will never have to cover your mouth with your hand, or put off eating out of fear of a denture popping out or gagging you. Also, the improved appearance of your new smile will have people giving you compliments that you’ve never gotten before.
Allows you to relax and not have to worry about your dentures moving around, popping out, or gagging you. Eliminate Denture Adhesives FOREVER! Since implant supported teeth are securely attached to the implants, there is no need for messy dentures adhesives. You’ll never worry about your dentures flying out when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or when you eat. Implants are so securely attached that the fear of them falling out will be eliminated!
Your mouth will be restored as closely as possible to its natural state. By replacing the entire
tooth, as well as the tooth root, it is possible to replicate the function of natural teeth, with a
strong, stable foundation that allows comfortable biting and chewing. Also, nothing in the in the
mouth looks or feels false or artificial!
Increases the amount of enjoyment you get out of eating. You will be able to taste foods more fully. Wearing an upper denture can prevent someone from really tasting food, as the roof of the mouth is covered. With implant supported replacement teeth, it is not necessary to cover the roof of the mouth, so you can truly enjoy the taste of foods. Improves overall oral health and decreases the risk of oral cancer and heart disease. It is much easier to care for implants than dentures. Your chances of bacteria build up, and gum disease decreases when you have implants.
Your other teeth will not be affected because of missing teeth. Since replacing missing teeth
with implant supported crowns and bridges does not involve the adjacent natural teeth, they are not compromised or damaged.
The 3 Most Common Questions From Patients Considering Dental Implants:
Q: How Painful Is Getting Dental Implants?
A: Most patients report that they feel very little if any pain after the procedure. In fact, many patients do not have to use any pain pills. Your decision to use implants will help you to avoid much pain and discomfort in the long term.
Besides, given the overall health care benefits, you should not deny yourself proper treatment out of fear of pain. As with any medical or dental procedure, your attending doctor, the implant dentist, is equipped to provide you with appropriate treatment, including any pain medicines you need.
There are many options to insure scared patients can have VERY COMFORTABLE care.. If fear is keeping you from getting the dentistry you want or need, “you truly don’t have to be afraid anymore”. There are many alternatives to Guarantee your comfort, including oral conscious sedation. With oral conscious sedation, you can often have your dentistry done in one visit, with little or no memory of ever having been in our office. So, if you’re especially fearful, phobic, or pain sensitive you have the option of doing the procedures with sedation dentistry, giving you stronger, more comfortable teeth, without any pain or discomfort!
Q: What is the Cost of Implant Treatment?
A: Many people ask, “How much are implants going to cost?” The only real way to determine actual cost is by consulting with an implant dentist to find out if you have bone loss or if you’ll need one, two, or more implants.
So yes, you will need to look at implants as an investment, because it really is a significant decision. It is that: an investment. A cruise or other trip ends after 5-7days. Or you can purchase more “stuff” for the house, but is that really as important as being able to enjoy chewing your food, having a smile you’re proud of and an improved health because of your improved nutrition?
A healthy mouth or a dazzling smile pays dividends in many ways for your entire life. Anyway, Dental Implants are admittedly not the least expensive option. If your primary concern is lowest possible investment, than dental implants are not for you.

Eat Chocolate Without the Guilt!
Eat Chocolate Without the Guilt!
If you’re like me you can’t resist a good piece of chocolate. Well, now you don’t have to! The makers of Xoçai™ (pronounced Shŏ-sái), have now found a way to make one of the world’s most craved desserts and actually make it good for us.
Chocolate is one of the most complex foods on earth, containing more than 300 compounds in its pure form. Recent studies have shown that chocolate, in its most pure form can offer us many important ingredients that can help boost our health, and believe it or not, help us maintain a healthier weight. By combining unprocessed cacao powder and the Açai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berry, researchers have found that this luscious treat contains rich antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids that can help us fight disease.
Now, that doesn’t mean that you can eat just many old chocolate bars off of the shelf. Unfortunately, the types of chocolate we usually consume are milk chocolate, which is full of sugar, which isn’t any good for us at all.
What Xoçai™ has done is take unprocessed cacao, which contains no sugar at all, and sweetens it with natural agave found in a cactus like plant for a low glycemic index sweet that is both tasty and healthy for us. Plus, most diabetics can indulge in their favorite treat once again without worrying about a dangerous spike in their glucose levels.
Love chocolate? Good! It’s time to have a piece in honor of your good health.
