Oral Cancer Screening Saves Lives

News was released yesterday that Michael Douglas, the actor from Wall Street, has throat cancer and will undergo 8 weeks of chemo and radiation treatment.
At Suwanee Dental Care we have early diagnostic equipment, Velscope, that can screen for oral cancer. It is a painless procedure that takes a couple of minutes to do as part of your oral health exam.
When oral cancer is discovered early there is a much higher success rate. We know you will appreciate Velscope's early screening and peace-of-mind.

Do you have bad breath?

Is bad breath a constant worry for you? Well, don't feel like you are the only one that has this problem. In fact, it is estimated that 25 million Americans suffer from this. Many people are unaware of their breath until someone has the courage to tell them. Once they know of the problem, it is something that is usually on their mind constantly. They will do anything to help avoid the embarrassment that bad breath causes. Millions of dollars a year are spent on mouth washes, mints, or flavoring agents. Chronic bad breath, otherwise known as halitosis, is definitely a serious social problem.

There are many different causes of bad breath. Disorders of the oral cavity cause up to 85% to 90% of halitosis cases. The more common causes are dry mouth, poor oral hygiene, dental decay, gingivitis, or gum disease. Bad breath can also be a sign of a more serious disease. Diabetes is one of the best examples of this.

The first step in fighting halitosis is diagnosing the problem. Our Doctors here at Suwanee Dental Care can do this for you and help you through the process of having fresh breath again. Call today and put an end to your bad breath problems.

Do You Have Invisable Decay?

Cavities Can Be Hiding.

Cavities can start on the chewing surfaces in microscopic defects of the tooth. These cavities are not felt with dental instruments. Once they progress through the hard tissue or enamel,they can grow very quickly.
The goal of preventative dentistry is to find these weaknesses while they are still microscopic, to maintain as much tooth structure as possible.

New technology in the form of a laser, called Diagnodent, does this. Suwanee Dental Care routinely uses this new technology on patients. The laser scans the teeth searching for microscopic decay. A reading greater then 20 indicates decay.

At Suwanee Dental Care we practice minimally invasive dentistry with the use of Diagnodent.

Is Invisalign Right For You?

Are you wanting staighter teeth, but not wanting the so called "metal mouth" look? We have the answer for you. At Suwanee Dental Care, we offer you the OrthodonInvisalign tic System. This system of care allows you to receive the orthodontic treatment that you want without worrying about your smile in the process. Invisalign is virtually unnoticeable to other people. You are able to acheive straighter teeth with a series of clear, customized aligners that are removable. No wires or brackets!

The process is simple. Your first step is to meet with one of our dentists here at Suwanee Dental Care. Together you will determine what it is about your teeth that you want to correct. Impressions and pictures will then be taken of your teeth. Your doctor will then plan your tooth movements throughout the entire treatment process. Treatment times can span anywhere from an average of 9-18 months, depending on the severity of spacing or crowding your teeth may have. Next, you will receive your aligners. Each aligner is to be worn for two weeks. Only remove your aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing. Your teeth will gradually move week by week until they reach the desired final alignment prescribed by your doctor. Then, you will want to smile all of the time!

If the Invisalign Orthodontic System sounds like the answer you have been waiting for, don't wait any longer. Come in and see us here at Suwanee Dental Care. We would love to help you acheive the smile that you have been wanting.
