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.

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!
