Smile…It’s Holiday Season!

It is the time of year to visit loved ones and enjoy the cheer that comes from holiday gift giving and feasting that is uncommon to other times of the year.  David Blackman DDS will be here for you in 2016 when you need us for routine maintenance on your teeth, cosmetic surgery, orthodontics, and even oral surgery if need be.

Right now it’s all about the holiday season.  Dr. David Blackman and his staff want you to do what they are doing.  Drive safely to holiday parties.  Eat heartily.  Brush and floss regularly.  I know, mundane stuff, but it’s just as important now as ever because of all the sweet treats.  Tooth decay, unlike you, DOES NOT take a holiday.

Check your dental insurance for 2016.  See what your benefits will allow.  When the New Year arrives make one of your first acts to give us a call to make an appointment to have a check-up for at least a cleaning and see if other work may need to be done.  Have a safe and healthy holiday season from your friends at Dr. David Blackman DDS located at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream Illinois.

A Sale on Invisalign!

When your teeth are not straight it effects your life.  You stop showing off that million dollar smile and you may lose self-confidence.  Invisalign is an alternative to braces.  You are able to straighten your teeth in a very short time frame.  Clear aligners are subtle and difficult to notice.  They are much more comfortable than braces.  And you may take them out whenever you wish to eat or drink or for special social occasions. 

Most of us have heard of Invisalign Dentistry.  We may think of it as an alternative that we simply cannot afford.  Everyone wants the best dental care they can receive for the price, but many times we settle for a cheap alternative to stay within a budget.

Well…Great News!  For a limited time Dr. David A. Blackman DDS of Carol Stream is having a special.  Right now he is taking $250 off of the treatment!  Call the office today at (630) 260-1700 for more details and a free consultation. 

Holiday Treats = Holiday Toothaches.

We will probably be munching down on goodies that we normally don’t enjoy in our regular daily life as the holiday season is upon us.  It is okay to “fall off the wagon” for a bit.  Just remember to follow the rest of your daily dental healthcare regimen…maybe brush a little more frequently, floss regularly, and rinse with your favorite mouthwash.

Now IF you have a tooth that begins to ache do not ignore it thinking it will go away once you stop eating sweet treats.  Your mouth is trying to tell you that something is wrong and that you need to contact a dentist right away. 

Dr. David Blackman DDS serves the Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, and Wheaton area helping you through nearly any dental issue you may encounter.  Whether it is an emergency or routine maintenance, visit www.davidblackmandds.com or call Dr. Blackman today at (630) 260-1700 and visit his office at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream.

Dental Care and Your Overall Health

I’m sure that you understand that poor dental health care will probably lead to cavities and other problems in your mouth.  Are you aware that many more serious problems can result from poor dental health care?  You could be facing far more serious affects than just toothaches and stained teeth.

For example cardiovascular disease may be accelerated by bad dental care.  The bacteria from your gums may easily enter your blood stream and travel to your arteries.  This causes hardening of the arteries.  This could increase your risk of heart attack or stroke.  Diabetes may also be exacerbated as periodontal disease may make it harder to control your blood sugar levels.

We hope that you understand that dental health care may be the conduit to better overall health.  Don’t put off that visit to the dentist any longer.  Call your local Chicagoland dentist, Dr. David Blackman at (630) 260-1700.  Arrange an appointment at our office located at 400 North Gary Avenue in Carol Stream.  Your overall health may be at stake.
