shutterstock_171073526Now that summer is here, people want to make the most out of their summer vacation! Trips to the beach and laying out at the pool, or even a family backyard barbeque, there is no doubt you are going to be smiling, laughing, and having a wonderful time. Unfortunately, if you are insecure with your smile, the smiling and laughing may be more difficult for you. If you have metal fillings that put a rain cloud over your smile, Let Dr. Anthony Giamberardino give you the natural smile you have been wanting with tooth-colored fillings!

When we address a cavity or any other procedure, Dr. Giamberardino uses tooth-colored fillings to make your smile complete. We are able to make the filling match your tooth color exactly, that way the filling is able to blend in seamlessly with your natural smile. Metal fillings, also known as amalgam fillings, are overtly obvious in your smile as well as being unhealthy for the rest of your body. Over time, the metal courses throughout your body, toxins and all. With tooth-colored fillings, you are able to enjoy a natural smile while also enjoying a healthier body.

One benefit to tooth-colored fillings is that you are able to keep much more of your natural, original tooth structure. With this, your smile is not only more natural looking, but more natural all together. Amalgam fillings have been known to be the cause of breaks and cracks in the tooth, which only leads you into a world of discomfort and more money being spent. If you are curious about how tooth-colored fillings can give you a perfect smile, contact our office, and we will be more than happy to help!

Don’t Forget Your Tongue!

shutterstock_103418330A lot of people may not know this, but cleaning your tongue daily is just as important as brushing and flossing your teeth! Often left to fall to the wayside, the tongue holds a lot of bacteria that can cause many effects on your body, many of which you may not be aware of. Not to be taken lightly, cleaning your tongue on a daily basis can hold many benefits for your smile and the rest of your body, and Dr. Anthony Giamberardino wants you to be as informed as possible regarding proper oral care!

One of the prominent reasons to clean your tongue is to be able to have fresher breath.  There are millions upon millions of bacteria that thrive on your tongue and, eventually, through your saliva, make their way throughout the rest of your mouth, body, and gums. Research shows that not cleaning your tongue can account for 80 to 95% of halitosis (bad breath) cases. Another reason to clean your tongue daily is that you will be able to taste your foods and drinks better. Without all of the bacteria masking the taste of your food, you will be able to fully enjoy and relish every bite and sip you take!

An excellent reason to clean your tongue daily is to prevent the possibility of cardiovascular problems, infertility in men, and increased risk of diabetes, among others. Your mouth is the gateway to the rest of your body, and when it is not taken care of, it can have severe side effects. The bacteria that manifest on your tongue have also been linked to periodontal (gum) problems, such as tooth decay, recession of the gums, and tooth loss. In order to truly reap the benefits of having a beautiful, healthy smile, make an effort to clean your tongue every day, and you will not be let down!
