The Library

You want to be a smart patient, right? Of course, right! So here’s the library so far. Click and learn. Settle (win) arguments with your friends. Start your own game of “Dental Trivial Pursuit”.

We are always adding to and updating the Library. It’s always a work in progress. Let us know what you’d like to have here.

• DIAGNOdent (Wow! Laser detection of decay)
• Air Abrasion (no-shot, no-drill fillings–sometimes)
• Amalgam (you know, those old fashioned “silver” fillings)
• Anesthesia (yup, this means shots). What’s new in this category?
• Bleaching (whiter smiles through chemistry)
• Bacterial plaque (the enemy of teeth and gums)
• Bruxism (Do you clench or grind your teeth? Oww!)
• Fillings of Composite Resin and Porcelain (strong bonded repairs that look like real teeth)
• Crowns (dentist-speak for caps)
• Implants (man-made roots for the ones you lost somehow)
• Bridges (Replacement teeth. Some you don’t take out, some you do)
• Gum disease (your teeth are ok but your gums have to come out? Maybe not.)
• Oral health and your heart (critical info that might save your life)
• Porcelain veneers (incredibly beautiful and natural smiles in a couple of visits)
• Root canal therapy (forget what you’ve heard, this is easy)
• The Pulp (sensitivity, toothaches, and things that go “ouch” in the night)
