Gum Disease
Has it been a while since you have visited your dentist? The information I am about to describe to you may get you in to see him pretty quick. In recent studies, it has been discovered that gum disease in the United States may be a great deal higher than previously estimated. Research published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) shows that the occurance of gum disease may have been underestimated by about 50 per cent.
You may be wandering, why should I be alarmed by this news and exactly what is periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is chronic inflammation that affects the gums and other structures that support the teeth. It can lead to the loss of teeth if left untreated. Periodontal disease can also be associated with other diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.
The best way to determine if you may have periodontal disease is to have a soft tissue examination performed by your dentist. Here at Suwanee Dental Care we are thorough in our examinations. If the dentist finds that you have periodontal disease as a result of your examination, there is hope. There is treatment that can be done to help fight against gum disease. Some signs that you can look for on your own are bleeding gums when flossing or bad breath. If you feel that you may have periodontal disease, please don't wait any longer. Your life could be depending on it.

Skipping Mouth to Mouth Saves Lives
CPR chest compressions only, save more lives then traditional mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions, a new study published in Journal of the American Medical Association shows.
Traditional CPR with mouth-to-mouth and chest compressions is still the prefered method for small children, near drowning and drug overdose victims, instances where lack of breathing caused collapse.
Contact your local American Heart Assocition or American Red Cross and learn how you can save a life!

Are Dental Implants Right For You?
Are you embarrassed by your smile or avoid smiling all together because of a missing tooth in your mouth or a denture that slips? You may not be as social as you would like to be. There is a solution to your problem that will give you your smile back. Dental implants may be the answer you have been looking for. Dental implants may make it possible for you to eat and smile again with confidence.
The spaces you have in your mouth may be from teeth that were lost, removed, or simply never grew in. There are other options besides dental implants to fill the space like bridges. These aren't always the best solution though. In order for a bridge to fit, the structure of the surrounding teeth have to be sacrificed. Dental implants use another method. The surrounding teeth aren't touched. Dental implants anchor prosthetic, or artificial, teeth into your jawbone to provide a secure fit. Whether you are missing one or several teeth, dental implants are a great option.
If dental implants sound like something you would be interested in, give us a call here at Suwanee Dental Care. Dr. Williams or Dr. Golik can discuss a treatment plan with you that will best suit your needs after an evaluation is done. We want to help you feel good about your smile again.

Halloween Candy
No, I am not one of those houses that gives out toothbrushes. Candy is not the cause of cavities. Diet is.
Every time you put something into your mouth, the PH becomes lower, more acidic, to help break down food. This is part of the digestive process along with chewing. It is a combination of how frequently we eat and drink along with what we eat and drink.
The worst culprit, soda. Even sugar free or diet soda. Soda has phosphoric acid to create bubbles. Lighter or citrus flavor sodas also have citric acid. We use citric acid in dentistry to roughen tooth surfaces to bond filling material.
Sports drinks are also very acidic and cause problems when sipped on over a long period of time. Water is the best to rehydrate.
Cookies, chips and pretzels are long chains of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are sugar. When cookies, chips and pretzels get wet with saliva they get sticky and stay in the grooves of the teeth.
Chocolate, within moderation, is actually a better snack. The fat in chocolate make the tooth slick so it does not stick to it.
We hand out chocolate for trick or treats!
