This test lets us go one step beyond routine dental care. We can determine if you have any predisposition to inflammatory gum infection and also determine the type of bacteria, if the infection has already started. Preventing gum disease can help to guard against the development of diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. This noninvasive and painless test lets us give precise treatment designed especially for you.

Sometimes a tooth is too worn away, decayed, or broken to be restored with a filling. In that case, a crown is the best solution. We use IPS e.max™ all-white crowns that are beautiful enough to restore front teeth and strong enough to repair back teeth. They look so natural, even a dentist would have a hard time distinguishing them from a real tooth.
The habit: This nervous habit can chip teeth and impact your jaw. “Placing your jaw for long periods of time in a protruding position can place pressure on it, which is associated with jaw dysfunction,” says Dr. Ruchi Sahota. The solution: Bitter-tasting nail polishes, stress reduction and setting small, realistic goals can help. If certain situations are triggers, hold something to keep your fingers busy.

The habit: Brushing for two minutes twice a day is one of the best habits you can get into. Just make sure you’re not trying too hard. “Brushing with a hard toothbrush, or brushing too hard, can damage teeth and irritate gums,” says Dr. Matthew Messina. The solution: Use a soft toothbrush with the ADA Seal of Acceptance at the proper pressure. “Don’t think ‘scrub.’ Think ‘massage,’” he says. “Save the hard toothbrush for cleaning the grout in the bathroom tile.” To read the entire article please visit MouthHealthy.org
No longer do patients need to dread root canal therapy. With modern procedures and anesthetics, it is a much easier treatment than in the past. The importance of saving a tooth has been established, as research has shown losing a tooth can eventually cause other problems.
Dr. Berger is well experienced and has received the latest training in this procedure. The interior pulp chamber of the tooth is removed and replaced with a special filling material. A crown is sometimes added for additional strength. Your tooth will once again be completely functional.
