3 Reasons for Tooth Loss

Are you concerned about losing your teeth? Or having a tooth fall out because of dental decay? Knowing the top 3 causes can help you prevent this situation from occurring. While there are incredible advances in dental procedures, not being in this situation is ideal for our patients. Here are the top 5 reasons:

1. Gum disease is the number one problem that causes adults to lose a tooth. Gum disease can destroy the supporting bone that helps to keep your teeth in place. Flossing and brushing regularly is the key as well as visiting your dental cosmetic dentist. 
2. Not getting dental care. Regular dental care is key to keeping your smile healthy. 
3. You have high blood pressure. Unfortunately, you will want to visit your doctor if you are experiencing problems with high blood pressure before it becomes a problem. Please let our staff know at your visit, however, if you are at risk or experiencing high blood pressure. 

We are here to help. If you have concerns about the health of your smile, contact us or schedule a visit with Dr. Judy Strutz and her team. 

Do You Love Your Smile?

A study conducted by the Oral Health Foundation found "found that more than half (55%) of those interviewed were highly positive about their smile while nearly one in five (18%) displayed an even greater love for it." But what about the rest?

Everyone else falls into the category of not loving their smile, being embarrassed by it, or feeling that their smile could use some improvement. So, where do you fall? 

Contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her team today if you don't love your smile. Schedule an appointment to talk about healthy, beautiful options that can make your smile radiant and help you to fall in love with it all over again! A beautiful smile is worth 1,000 words. We can help you achieve that. 

Do You Have Dental Questions?

We often get asked dental questions from patients. If you have a dental question, feel free to call or schedule a consultation to discuss your unique dental situation. First, however, we wanted to provide answers to the top 4 questions we get asked:

1. How often should I schedule an appointment with my cosmetic dentist? You want to schedule a dental cleaning appointment 2x a year. Your other meetings will be scheduled as needed depending on the procedure you are having done. 
2. How much do cosmetic dental procedures cost? This will depend on a variety of factors. It is best to schedule a dental consultation so your unique treatment needs can be addressed. The cost of all treatments will be discussed before any work is completed. 
3. How long does a cosmetic treatment take? Each procedure is unique depending on your needs. While some will be completed in a few hours, others may take longer.
4. How often should I brush and floss? There is only one way to remove food from the surface of your teeth and keep your gumline healthy. Brushing and flossing are the keys. While you consume food throughout the day, usually 2x a day is enough. However, if you eat a high carbohydrate meal, you might want to brush after to remove food from sticking to the surface of your teeth.

Chemo and Your Smile

Any cancer is life-altering, and being sure we are providing the most support we can for our patients, Dr. Judy Strutz 2010 began taking classes at UCL to learn more about Maxillo-Facial Prosthodontics. She wants to be sure that she helps her patients live their best lives. One of the ways that she does that is by providing a thorough cancer exam. The sooner oral cancer is found and treated, the more available treatment options. 

While evaluating the patient's mouth since her classes, she has been able to advance her skills and ensure that she is giving "hope to the hopeless." Dr. Judy Strutz and her team work to fully understand the unique situation a patient being treated for cancer or oral cancer is in. This way, they can provide the best treatment options and support. 

If you are worried that you might have oral cancer or to schedule a screening today, contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her team.

Summer Is Almost Over

While summer is approaching, don't forget to schedule your six-month cleaning and dental check-up. Unfortunately, we often can let these essential items go to waste when life gets busy. However, they are critical not only to the health of your smile but the health of your entire body. 

A quick check-up and cleaning can identify any significant problems that might be happening with your smile before they become a major problem. For example, did you know that "your smile is our success?" We want to be sure that you have the smile you love because that makes us smile. A quick cleaning and check-up with Dr. Judy Strutz and her team can keep you on track!

5 Common Dental Problems You May Be Facing

Your smile is critically important to us, and we want to be sure that if you are experiencing any of these dental problems or concerns, you contact your cosmetic dental office today for help. Here are 5 of the most common dental problems, 

1. Bad breath. While we all have bad breath occasionally, if you are experiencing this regularly, it may be due to an underlined problem. 
2. Receding Gums. We are all busy, so having an opportunity to brush and floss as often as we should be causes the problem. However, the best way to fix the problem is to get the facts. A quick visit with Dr. Strutz and her team can identify how bad the problem is and give you treatment options. 
3. Sensitive teeth. Have you been trying to avoid some of your favorite foods like ice cream or fresh strawberries because it causes pain? Don't skip out on life's pleasures. We can help. 
4. Cracked or broken teeth? This can be a self-esteem nightmare. But you do have options.
