Have You Scheduled Your October Checkup with D’Amico & Mauck, DDS?

October 5, 2012

Now that we’re into October, fall is in full swing. That means cooler weather, fall colors, and shorter days. It also means the holidays are almost here. In fact, the first major one of the holiday season, Halloween, is just weeks away. And along with the holiday season come certain things you won’t want to miss: holiday parties and holiday treats. But when you have questions about how your smile is doing, it can be harder to enjoy either of these to the fullest.  You might feel self-conscious instead, worried that you have gum disease or a cavity that needs to be treated.

How Can Dental Implants Help Me Improve My Smile?

September 21, 2012

Are you missing one or more teeth? Traditional restorative dentistry options like crowns, bridges, and dentures can help you fill in those gaps.

A custom-made athletic mouthguard will actually absorb some of the force incurred from falls, collisions, or other forms of physical activity during play, helping athletes avoid a serious concussion. You might think of them as acting like shock absorbers that protect the jaw and the base of the skull from becoming violently jarred. That makes wearing an athletic mouthguard absolutely essential for some sports, like the ones mentioned above. But it’s not...

How Does Your Oral Health Affect Your Overall Health?

August 17, 2012

For some, it may still come as a surprise to hear that oral health and overall wellbeing are closely connected, but it’s true. Last December, a report from The Wall Street Journal revealed that what happens to your smile can influence what happens in the rest of your body. In this post, we’d like to focus on two health problems in particular: cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A Bridge between Your Mouth and Your Body When we say that your oral health affects your overall health, we’re talking about a specific aspect of your oral health—periodontal disease, which you might know better as gum disease. How does periodontal disease affect overall health? By creating...
