You look around the room and you see sharp, pointed metal instruments. You can hear the sounds of drilling nearby as another patient is being treated. You think, "Ouch!" "That has to be painful." Your dentist asks you to sit in the dental chair. You, just want to get out of there! This classic scene plays in your head every time you need to go for your dental checkups. It creates fear or anxiety and perhaps prevents you from getting professional dental care your toothbrush, floss, and mouthwash cannot provide. 

Tooth replacement with dental implants is a cutting-edge technology that offers individuals with damaged or missing teeth a chance to smile again. The process begins with the initial consultation and ends with the placement of the dental crown

Resident periodontist and implantologist, Dr. Delaram Hanookai of Gage Dental Care, will consider these factors during evaluation and treatment planning before giving you an approximate timeframe.

The American Dental Association (ADA) describes tooth decay as damage to the hard, outer layer or enamel of the tooth. Cavities also called carries can result in tooth decay if they are not treated early by a professional dentist at Gage Dental Care. Teeth are as vulnerable to decay in adults as they are in children and teenagers, even though adult teeth are permanent and stronger. Here are 4 main causes of tooth decay and loss in adults. 

Many people know to brush the teeth twice a day and to floss and rinse with mouthwash every day. However, it's critical to clean the tongue twice a day as well. 

The tongue holds more bacteria than the teeth due to the tongue having troughs and peaks all over it. These aspects of the tongue make it easy for the settling and thriving of bacteria. The accumulation of bacteria is significantly on the tongue structures, like in-between the taste buds. Additionally, the bacteria is easily transferable to the teeth. This transfer creates bad breath and possibly damages the teeth.
