Public Safety and Dentistry.

It is a topic that we have not discussed in this space for some time, but it merits our periodic attention.  It is the issue of assuring that every dental patient is protected by initiatives that are focused on the safety of each and every individual who trusts that practice for their family’s complete dental care.

We hear the acronyms OSHA and HIPAA and often dismiss them as something that does not directly affect us, but they do!  Precautions must be taken to be compliant with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.  Anything less is unacceptable and you need to make sure that your dentist is health and safety compliant ALL of the time.

Here is a comforting reassurance.  The office of Dr. David Blackman DDS has received certification from Crosstex Biological Monitoring Service.  It protects patients and staff.  Your Carol Stream full-service dentist is always on the cutting edge of all safety procedures.  Schedule an appointment at the 400 N. Gary Ave. office by calling (630) 260-1700.

Invisalign…the Modern Solution.

Invisalign is a new word in our vocabulary.  It was not that long ago when kids went to school with their hand up to their mouth to hide their embarrassing braces.  Modern dentistry has come a long, long way indeed.  Today, this wonderful procedure is the exciting new approach to adding and straightening teeth.

In the case of having a straighter smile, a series of aligners which are easily removable is the modern alternative to braces.  Each week your teeth get perceptibly straighter until your smile is perfect!  These clear alternatives have the same reliability as traditional braces and are held in place with a hardly noticeable tooth-colored composite.

Now, let us introduce you to Dr. Anuja Kothari.  She is about to become your mouth’s best buddy.  Dr. Kothari is the resident on-site orthodontist at the practice of Dr. David Blackman.  The doctor compliments a staff of true professionals that have made the office Carol Stream’s invisalign and dental experts.  Call for an appointment today at (630) 260-1700.

Your Smile has Great Potential!

Maybe you have reached your potential in your career, your physical health, your bank account.  What about the potential of having the most brilliant smile of your life?  This not only enhances your own self-esteem, but how others see you as well.  So often, a beautiful smile is the first ticket to success in life.

There are several areas to address when restoring your smile.  Among them are –

1.  The color of your teeth.  Bright white is always the goal. 
2.  Replacing missing teeth with natural implants.
3.  Repairing a chipped or cracked tooth.
4.  Spacing and properly aligning your teeth.

With all of the innovations of modern dentistry you can achieve all of these goals.  The key is to have a real dental professional examine your mouth and make recommendations.  For decades that person has been Carol Stream, IL restorative dentist Dr. David Blackman.  Give the office a call for an appointment at 400 N. Gary Ave. at (630) 260-1700.

Spring and Fall Dental Cleaning.

So many of our bi-annual pledges and things we remember to do for ourselves and the products around us are tied to the calendar.  We change the batteries in our smoke detectors in the spring and fall.  We turn the clocks an hour around the same time.  Now, how about adding dental care to that list?

Those of us who want our smile to last a lifetime know that we need to have our teeth cleaned twice a year.  Maybe another dental visit or two will need to be added in 2017, but the cleanings are must-keep appointments.  Now that we are well into February the time has come to turn up clocks, change battery detectors, AND make an appointment for teeth cleaning.

What a great habit to get into!  Stay on track every year for the rest of your life and chances are you will enjoy great dental health for your lifetime.  It all starts with a phone call to your full-service Chicagoland dentist Dr. David Blackman.  Schedule a check-up soon and stay on track.  Call his 400 N. Gary Ave. office in Carol Stream IL. at (630) 260-1700.

Dental Health = General Health.

People often look at their overall health separately from their dental health.  We know that they are both vital to our long-term lifestyle, but many people are not aware that poor dental hygiene can and often DOES affect one’s general health.  Cosmetically, no one wants to hide their smile.  That is obvious, but when it literally can end up resulting in life or death now that’s an attention getter! 

Are you aware that poor dental care often translates into cardiovascular disease?  When bacteria builds and builds in your mouth the next place it may go is into your blood stream.  When it continues to travel it can literally result in hardening of the arteries.  Diabetes may also worsen because blood sugar levels go haywire.

None of this is meant to scare you, but we hope that it serves as a wake-up call for 2017.  If you have neglected your teeth for a period of time it is not too late to save that smile…and eventually maybe your life.  It begins with an appointment at the office of Dr. David Blackman.  Schedule a check-up and cleaning today by calling his office located at 400 N. Gary Ave. in Carol Stream at (630) 260-1700.
