Moderate those Holiday Treats.

Bah, humbug…I want another tasty treat.  No, not that fruit cake from Aunt Ruth.  There are so many sweet and tasty temptations during this Holiday Season.  It takes a little discipline, but if you can moderate your intake you will save yourself some grief in the New Year.  Think of your bathroom scale as well as that beautiful smile you have worked on all year.

Go ahead, indulge a little just remember to stay faithful to the basics.  Would it hurt you to brush a little more often or floss more than twice a day?  Go on, you can do it!  Now just in case you experience a toothache make sure that you take it seriously.  This is not just something that will go away on January 1st.  Get to your favorite Chicagoland dentist to have it taken care of.

Dr. David Blackman DDS serves the communities of Carol Stream, Wheaton, and Bloomingdale.  He and his amazing staff are there to help with routine dental visits to more serious emergencies.  If you need a great full-service dentist today or in 2017 call his office located at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream  (630) 260-1700 and smile, smile, smile!

Last Call for Dental Insurance.

I want to know who decided that.  Does your homeowners insurance expire at the end of the year?  How about your car insurance?  If YOU don’t expire does your life insurance do so at year’s end?  Of course they don’t!  None of that makes any sense.  Why does dental insurance NOT roll over into 2017?  It is one of life’s great mysteries.

You can’t fight it.  You must react to the reality of it all.  If you don’t use your remaining 2016 dental insurance money by December 31st it will not accrue into the New Year.  It is just that simple.  Why would you squander a perfectly good opportunity to get your teeth or your family’s mouths checked by the end of the year?

We know that you are busy during the holidays, but you are not in the habit of wasting money.  Make an appointment today with your Carol Stream area family dentist for a check-up.  If you live in the Wheaton, Bloomingdale, or Carol Stream area call (630) 260-1700 and save yourself a ton of dough just before they play Auld Lang Syne.

Holiday Dental Check-up.

This is an excellent time to beat the end of the year holiday rush to get that bi-annual dental check-up.  I know that there are several things on your list that you may feel take precedence over that.  Trust me, if you put it off now then you may procrastinate altogether.  This is an error in judgement that you don’t want to make.  Stay on schedule and preserve your smile!

By making an appointment in early November you will be fresh and clean throughout the holidays.  IF you need further dental care then you can get it done in 2016.  For many Chicagoans that could mean a great deal as far as dental insurance goes.  A healthy, beautiful smile knows no season, but let’s be honest you will probably be eating more good/bad stuff in the next two months.

Dr. David Blackman DDS serves the communities of Carol Stream, Wheaton, and Bloomingdale.  Best of all, he has been doing so effectively for over 30 years.  You’ll be comforted to know that he has never had a better group of assistants in his 3 decades!  Make an appointment for a fall/winter cleaning today at his office located at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream by calling (630) 260-1700.

A Dental Tip for All Athletes.

Whether you play offense or defense or both in your chosen sport(s) here is something that all athletes should do.  Defend your Smile!  A good sports mouth guard is an essential part of any sports uniform.  It matters not whether you play contact or non-contact sports.  If you have heard of the “boil-and-bite” mouth guard you know that may NOT be enough.

The American Dental Association reported that athletes without proper mouth guards are SIXTY times more likely to suffer harm to their teeth.  About half of all adolescents will suffer an injury to the mouth.  Of those, about one-third of them are sports related.  This is why you must strongly consider a custom-fitted sports mouth guard that is customized just for your athlete(s). 

Dr. David Blackman DDS fabricates custom-fit mouth guards for as little as $60.   For an additional $20 you can add the name and number to the guard!   His office serves the communities of Carol Stream, Wheaton, Bloomingdale and the surrounding area.  Make an appointment for a custom athletic mouth guard at his office located at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream by calling (630) 260-1700.

Cosmetic Dentistry.

A great family dentist will not only prevent tooth decay and gum disease, but will also make your smile the very best it can be.  If you have a discolored tooth, missing teeth, even a chipped or cracked tooth it can turn a great smile into an uncomfortable grin.  Don’t kid yourself…this effects your social life and maybe even your livelihood in the job interview process.

Having a healthy mouth is essential.  I think that we all know that.  How many of us sacrifice cosmetics because we think we cannot afford it or are even afraid of it?  This is called restorative dentistry.  Many years ago, Americans just held onto their teeth as long as they could.  These days, society dictates that we appear pleasant when we smile.

The stakes are just too high.  Dr. David J. Blackman and his staff employ the latest products and procedures known in the dental industry.  Dr. Blackman is a restorative dentist located at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream, IL.  Make an appointment today by calling (630) 260-1700 and get ready to show off that “million-dollar” smile!

Why Every Six Months?

We have heard for years that we need to visit our dentist every six months.  It doesn’t designate age or diet or quality of self-care.  It is a tried and true axiom…if you go to your dentist twice a year you will avoid future expenses, pain, and perhaps even more frequent visits.  You do other things in your life on schedule.  It is important that this becomes as routine as changing your car’s oil.

This is not some arbitrary number invented by someone just to make more money.  It has been proven over the years that if you get your teeth professionally cleaned and checked every half-year you will feel better, look better, and avoid potentially catastrophic dental problems in the future.  Gingivitis and periodontal disease are headed off before they become a major problem.

The suggestion here is to find a full-service dental office in the Carol Stream, Il.  May we recommend visiting the website of www.davidblackmandds.com?  Whatever dental need your family has can be taken care of by Dr. David Blackman and his staff.  Call the office of Dr. Blackman on 400 North Gary Avenue for an appointment today at (630) 260-1700.

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. My Teeth.

Do you suffer from sensitive teeth?  Don’t feel like the lone wolf.  Nearly half of all American adults suffer from tooth sensitivity.  It may be from cold or hot foods, certain liquids, sweets, etc.  A nationwide study of over 1,000 people age 18-65 tried various sensitive toothpastes.  In that group only about one-third found the trial to be helpful in any way.

So many factors contribute to the problem.  Just as there are dozens of causes there are also dozens of theories on how to improve the problem of sensitive teeth.  A few of these may be a build-up of plaque, or years of tarter, even dreaded gum disease itself.  It is vitally important that you get to the “root” of the problem…no pun intended…so that it can be treated.

In the Carol Stream area please call the dental office of Doctor David Blackman.  Browse the pages of www.davidblackmandds.com.  You will become familiar and confident with our staff.  We think you will see that for sensitive teeth the first step is to call the office of Dr. Blackman located at 400 North Gary Avenue for an appointment today at (630) 260-1700.

Dentistry and Public Safety.

As you prepare for fall and winter in Chicagoland you may be seeking new providers for some of the necessities of life for your family.  Every once in awhile you may want to shake things up and see if there is a better insurance provider, a better auto mechanic, a better plumber…and of utmost importance a better dentist.

Public Safety is a very important part of dentistry.  You should be looking for a dental provider that is committed to public safety issues.  Insist on someone who maintains their OSHA and HIPPA compliant status and one that has shown it by implementing policies and procedures that benefit YOU…the patient!

May we suggest the full-service Carol Stream dental office of Doctor David Blackman?  Take two minutes and visit their website at www.davidblackmandds.com.  Quickly browse the pages including the one dealing with this topic of public safety.  Your decision should be clear.  Call the office of Dr. Blackman on 400 North Gary Avenue for an appointment today at (630) 260-1700.

An Ounce of Prevention.

On this most important American holiday let’s remember the immortal words of founding father Benjamin Franklin…an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  It works in millions of different scenarios doesn’t it?  But that phrase is never more important than in dentistry.  You don’t want to have wooden teeth like George Washington do you?

The American Dental Association strongly recommends that you have your teeth checked and professionally cleaned every 6 months.  This not just common sense (Thomas Payne would appreciate that) it also will save you a ton of money and potentially a lot of pain in the future.  Remember what Ben also said…a penny saved is a penny earned.

When it comes to professional dentistry look no further than Dr. David Blackman.  Dr. Blackman is your choice for preventative dental treatment in Chicagoland.  Dr. Blackman and his staff do not wear powdered wigs, but they will give your mouth a sound foundation for the future!  Call the Carol Stream office today at (630) 260-1700 and make sure that your teeth last a lifetime.

The Importance of Invisalign.

It wasn’t that long ago that no one ever heard of the word.  Now it is the conduit to a happier more confident life for millions of Americans.  Invisalign is a hygienic treatment that when done by the very best dentists is virtually invisible. The system is an innovative approach to straightening your teeth effectively and for many years to come.

One of the great things about Invisalign is that you walk around smiling and conversing and virtually no one notices that you are wearing it.  Hallelujah, what a wonderful difference from those bulky braces we wore decades ago!   Every treatment plan is customized to the individual patient and your dentist (if he is one of the best) will tailor your system specifically to you.

When it comes to professional Invisalign dentistry look no further than the office of Dr. David Blackman.  We invite you visit with our resident orthodontist Dr. Kothari.  You are just one phone call away from the greatest smile you have ever had!  Call the Carol Stream office today at (630) 260-1700 and make one of the best cosmetic decisions of your life.

Preventing and Treating Gingivitis

Gingivitis…you might think that is a cute name, but the disease is anything but that.  It is very serious, however because it is not like the pain of a toothache we tend to ignore it.  That is a really bad idea because research has shown a direct link of gum disease to diabetes and heart disease.  Is that enough to get you to take this subject seriously?

Let’s get familiar with the signs of gingivitis.  If your gums bleed even in the slightest when you brush or floss get to a dentist immediately!  Maybe there is just a redness or swelling in your gums.  Gingivitis can be reversed through frequent brushing, daily flossing, and regular cleanings by a professional.  If you ignore gingivitis you will probably eventually lose your teeth and have to have oral surgery.

You and your family deserve the best oral health care in Chicagoland.  If you live in the Carol Stream area you cannot do better than the full service dental practice of Dr. David Blackman DDS.  His practice is located at 400 North Gary Avenue.  Call them today at (630) 260-1700.  Gum disease must NOT be ignored any more than a toothache.

School’s Almost Out & A Bi-annual Dental Check-up Is In!

We have all heard the expression “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.  The phrase definitely applies to dentistry.  When you were a kid did you walk up to one of your parents and say, ”Hey, I haven’t been to the dentist for a check-up for a long time.  Shouldn’t we make an appointment”?  I didn’t think so.

Now that you are a parent of a school-aged kid (or kids) don’t wait for them to remind you.  The end of a school year is a perfect time to make one of their regular bi-annual dental check-ups.  If you stay on track the next one will be during holiday break.  Believe me, staying on schedule will potentially save you lots of pain and money.

Dr. David Blackman DDS should be your child’s preventative dentist.  If it ever becomes necessary for an emergency trip, then knowing your dentist ahead of time will be great as well.  If you live in the Bloomingdale, Wheaton, and Carol Stream area visit Dr. Blackman’s office at 400 North Gary Ave. or make an appointment by calling (630) 260-1700 today.

Learning More about Restorative Dentistry.

Restorative dentistry is defined by management of the diseases of the teeth.  Once the diagnosis has been made a professional in restorative dentistry will set up a treatment program to rehabilitate the structures.  This may encompass such procedures as endodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics.  Restorative dentistry obviously means many things.

Some of the concerns that may be addressed include tooth color, missing teeth, teeth that have been chipped or cracked or are uneven, as well as the alignment of teeth remaining.  Needless to say, not every dentist is skilled in the art of restorative dentistry.  You need to find someone who has the latest technology. 

Dr. David Blackman DDS and his staff will restore your smile through such modern dental miracles as veneers, snap on smiles, implants, and much more.  If you live in the Bloomingdale, Wheaton, and Carol Stream area visit Dr. Blackman’s office at 400 North Gary Ave. or make an appointment by calling (630) 260-1700 today.

Affordable Dentistry in Chicagoland.

Unless we have unlimited funds the cost of dentistry is a big factor in our oral health care.  When we need a dental procedure the “fear” comes as much from the cost as it does from a trip to the dentist.  It is important to understand every nuance of the pricing structure of your dentistry before the procedure.  When you find a dentist who carefully explains every charge, that dentist is a “keeper”.

Dr. David Blackman DDS carefully explains your individual needs and your individual plan.  There is no “rate sheet” for personalized dentistry in Carol Stream.  Dr. Blackman’s practice accepts most major insurance plans and credit cards.  The staff is standing by to help you with your insurance paperwork to make sure that it is filled out properly.

True comfort in any medical procedure starts with YOUR finances.  Dr. David Blackman DDS and his staff have this in mind with each individual that they treat.  If you live in the Bloomingdale, Wheaton, and Carol Stream area visit our office at 400 North Gary Ave. or make an appointment by calling (630) 260-1700 today.

Restorative Dentistry for Chicagoland.

Your smile is often the first thing people notice.  It is your front door.  Your smile is the key to social interaction and may be a conduit to a more successful career.  If you allow your smile to reach its full potential then chances are so will you.  Years ago you might have been relegated to a look that was less than you hoped for.  Today it does not have to be that way.

Using the latest procedures and products available, a skilled dentist can restore one of your most important features.  Your concerns may include yellowing of your teeth.  Perhaps you have one or more teeth missing in embarrassing spots.  Some of your teeth may even be “out of space” inside of your mouth, or be chipped or cracked.

Chicagoans are blessed with improved medicine especially because we live in a highly populated area.  Dr. David Blackman DDS of Carol Stream is a Chicagoland restorative dentistry expert.  His staff is ready to help you feel great about your smile again.  If you live in the Bloomingdale, Wheaton, and Carol Stream area visit our office at 400 North Gary Ave. or make an appointment by calling (630) 260-1700.

Floss Your Teeth and Gums at Least Twice a Day.

Floss your teeth regularly.  How many times have you heard this mantra?  Most dentists will recommend flossing after every meal.  Most of us don’t have that type of discipline.  If you are going to floss only once per day always be sure that it is just before bedtime.  Why not develop a habit of flossing after your mid-day meal as well?  Even in an office you can retreat to the restroom and handle that.

Of course the reason for flossing is to prevent food particles from fermenting on your teeth for hours at a time.  By at least doing this combined with brushing and swishing your teeth and gums with mouthwash before bed it has been proven that it is easier to fall asleep…and maybe just as important to wake up with fresher breath.

Today’s human has been blessed with improved medicine so that they can outlive their teeth.  A qualified dentist is still essential for regular cleanings and other important dental care.  Your friends at the office of Dr. David Blackman DDS of Carol Stream Il are here to help with general dental care as well as dental emergencies.  If you live in the Bloomingdale, Wheaton, and Carol Stream area visit our office at 400 North Gary Ave. or make an appointment by calling (630) 260-1700.

One Place for ALL of Your Oral Health needs.

Have you ever been run around from specialist to specialist to take care of a dental problem?  Not only is that aggravating, but now you are in the hands of someone you have never met.  The advantages of having ONE dentist that takes care of all your oral health needs seems obvious.  Many of us still believe we need to be “bicycled” around for specialized dental care.

If you go to different dentists for different concerns you will get conflicting advice as to what treatment is needed.  Worst of all, that advice comes from strangers…not that they are not qualified.  You may get conflicting reports from your primary dentist who thinks that your orthodontist is giving you an improper diagnosis.  In the medical community there is often a “buddy system” where certain specialists will recommend people just because they are friends.

This year develop a relationship with your friends at the office of Dr. David Blackman DDS of Carol Stream Il.  If you are looking for the perfect dentist with all of the new technology and knowledge in a variety of areas that you can trust for years to come call Dr. Blackman’s office at (630) 260-1700.  Or stop in at 400 North Gary Avenue in Carol Stream to make an appointment.

Using Your Dental Insurance in 2016.

So many people have no dental insurance.  Many companies do not offer it and even if you have purchased the bare bones health insurance for the New Year it may not include your precious teeth and gums.  We all know that other serious diseases are exacerbated by poor dental health.  It may become FAR worse than just a toothache or painful gum.

If you are blessed with dental insurance DO NOT hesitate to use it.  This is different from regular health insurance in that most dental insurance provided by employers disappears at the end of a calendar year.  When the New Year dawns the maximum amount of dental insurance may be used again.  And note this…these insurance companies LOVE preventative maintenance to avoid the bigger problems later.

Make it an annual habit to use every nickel of your dental insurance every year.  Call your friends at the office of Dr. David Blackman DDS of Carol Stream Il.  If you are looking for the perfect dentist with all of the new technology that you can trust for years to come, call Dr. Blackman’s office at (630) 260-1700.  Or stop in at 400 North Gary Avenue in Carol Stream to make an appointment.

Dental Health Begins at an Early Age.

So many of us have said “I wish I had visited the dentist more often when I was a kid so I wouldn’t have all of these problems now”.  It is an old lament and there is no way to turn back the clock now.  However, it is not too late for the youngsters in your life to enjoy a lifetime of great dental health.  Now is the time to get them in for a check-up.

The first step is to stick with a strict regimen of taking your kids to the dentist EVERY 6 months without fail.  They will receive check-ups and routine cleanings which will make for a more painless experience and become a habit for a lifetime - like changing the oil in your car or the furnace filters in your home.  Plus your dentist becomes a friend, not someone that your children see only in a time of pain.

Teach your children good dental habits frequently and make sure they never go to bed without brushing and flossing.  Call your friends at the office of Dr. David Blackman DDS of Carol Stream Il.  If you are looking for the right dentist that you can trust for years to come call Dr. Blackman’s office at (630) 260-1700.  Or stop in at 400 North Gary Avenue in Carol Stream to make an appointment.

Choosing a Dentist That Observes All of the Public Safety Requirements

When you live in the western suburbs of Chicagoland you have many choices between dentists.  It might behoove you to do a little research before going back to that old dentist or when choosing a new one for your family.  Finding the right dentist is like finding any other doctor.  They have to meet the criteria that you expect since your family’s dental health is at stake.

Does your dentist continuously maintain its OSHA and HIPPA compliant status?  I’ll bet you never thought about this issue, but it is important.  Just Google those two acronyms and see for yourself.  Ask plenty of questions to discover what procedures your dentist offers and what precautions are being taken to protect their patients.  Are the technicians CPR certified and does the office use digital x-rays to limit radiation exposure?

All of these safety standards and much more apply to the office of Dr. David Blackman DDS of Carol Stream IL.  If you are looking for the right dentist that you can trust for years to come call Dr. Blackman’s office at (630) 260-1700.  Or stop in at 400 North Gary Avenue in Carol Stream to make an appointment and ask the questions that you need to know for your family’s long-term dental health.

A New Year’s Resolution for Your Mouth.

I know, nobody wants to think about visits to the dentist ahead of time.  But here is the great news, a large number of people have a fresh new amount of dental insurance for 2016 and it may go to waste just because there are no dental emergencies at this particular time.  You avoid emergencies with your car by having oil changes right?  Why not limit future dental emergencies by seeing your dentist regularly this year?

Preventative dental care is very important no matter what and if you have reloaded your maximum allowable insurance for the New Year then you have simply run out of excuses to make that first 2016 appointment.  I am sure that you would like to avoid a root canal, an extraction, gum disease, etc. if you can.  You may be able to do just that if you visit Dr. David Blackman DDS of Carol Stream Illinois early in 2016.

Dental insurance companies love routine cleanings because it means less out of their pocket later as well.  Tie a string around your finger and not around a doorknob.  Make one of your first New Year’s resolutions a phone call to Dr. David Blackman’s office at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream.  Call today at (630) 260-1700 and visit their website for all of the services that they offer at www.davidblackmandds.com.
