Gum disease and your diet, from My Dentists

Periodontal disease, known also as gum disease, is far more common than you may think. Each year, new studies begin to link the effect gum disease can have on the heart, and we at My Dentists have been helping spread the word! One of the simplest steps to achieving healthier gums can be your diet. We recently found a great article outlining several options for healthier gums. Included among the suggestions were:

*Raisins
*Green Tea
*Whole Grains

In addition to these foods being friendly for your gums, they are healthy foods in general, and a great option to begin integrating into your diet. Hope these tips help! Enjoy the rest of your week!

My Dentists, supporting Oral Cancer Awareness Month

We hope you're having a great week! Visiting us at My Dentists at our convenient Charlotte office on a regular basis will not only help keep your teeth and mouth healthy, but will also help keep the rest of your body healthy as well.

The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved. Since April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our patients about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene.

As your dentists, Drs. Stan Michalski, Richard Yeager, and Tom Pinnavaia are specialists who work to diagnose, treat, and prevent oral health problems. Please let us now if you have any questions about your oral health during your next appointment. Take care of your teeth, and smile bright!

How important is your smile? From My Dentists

Since 1983, My Dentists has been providing a different kind of dental care to patients and their families in Charlotte, NC. Drs. Stan Michalski, Richard Yeager, and Tom Pinnavaia believe in creating a fun, positive dental experience while providing treatments that are personal, comfortable, and tailored specifically to meet your needs.

The bottom line is, we know having a beautiful smile is important to you. It’s important to us, too.

And speaking of smiling, in a new poll conducted by Glamour Magazine, people were asked, “If you had to pick between having perfect teeth, eyesight or hair, which would you choose?

Well, 44 percent of folks out there are choosing teeth! In addition, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, or AACD, conducted a study and found that 99.7 percent of those polled believed a smile is an important social asset. Respondents said straightness, whiteness, cleanliness, as well as the sincerity and sparkle of a person’s smile were all important factors not only socially, but career-wise as well.

How to freshen bad breath [Video]

Drs. Michalski, Yeager, and Pinnavaia, your Charlotte dentists, recognize that many of our patients are concerned about bad breath, or halitosis. While some cases of bad breath are persistent (chronic bad breath), generally bad breath is transient, and can be prevented.

We recently came across this helpful video about bad breath and thought it was worth sharing with our patients. The video explains what might cause bad breath and some ways that it can be avoided. In most instances, bad breath can be prevented by practicing common oral hygiene techniques that you have probably heard us emphasize during a visit to My Dentists, such as brushing and flossing daily. We encourage you to watch this video for additional tips on how to keep bad breath at bay.
