While we all know that it’s important to floss our teeth daily, that doesn’t mean we’re all doing it. It’s really important to make sure you floss because flossing removes food particles stuck between your teeth that can contribute to decay.

Flossing is an important part of general dentistry and can help keep your smile healthy. When you come visit us at Giamberardino Dental Care for your dental checkup we can answer any questions you might have about flossing and can demonstrate the proper technique. Plaque can build up between your teeth and can harden into calculus or tartar. Over time this could lead to decay or even gum disease, so it’s important to floss regularly.

This article from the ADA (American Dental Association) has some helpful tips on the proper flossing technique. If you have trouble getting in between your teeth with the floss, a floss threader or disposable pre-threaded flosser can be helpful. These are all found at drugstores.

Take time now to properly take care of your teeth by brushing and flossing and you’ll have a healthy, beautiful smile for a lifetime. At your next visit we’ll even give you some floss to help get started! If you have any questions about flossing, just give us a call.

Giamberardino Dental Care provides quality general and cosmetic dentistry from our Medford, MA dental office. We serve patients from Medford, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and surrounding communities. Call us today to schedule your next appointment.

Mini Dental Implants Can Complete Smiles

July 8, 2013

Filed under: Dental Implants — Tags: dental implants, Dr. Anthony Giamberardino, Everett, Giamberardino Dental Care, Malden, Medford, mini dental implants, Somerville, Winchester — Dr. Anthony Giamberardino @ 5:48 pm

Are you missing teeth but you either don’t want to go through a traditional dental implant surgery or don’t have enough jaw bone to support implants? You don’t have to live with an incomplete smile any longer. Giamberardino Dental Care offers mini dental implants to help patients such as yourself have a complete smile once again.

Mini dental implants allow for greater denture stability without an extensive surgery process. A titanium implant will be inserted during a minimally invasive surgery with a much shorter healing process than traditional dental implants. Your dentures will be attached to the post to remain securely in your mouth.

The titanium post will mimic the function of a tooth root and help to anchor your replacement teeth. The dentures will rest on your gums and won’t slip or come out because they’re implant secured. Your mini dental implants can usually be placed in one appointment, leaving you with a restored smile faster than ever.

We want to offer a wide variety of smile solutions to help all our patients find the right choice for their smile needs. Mini dental implants can be a good choice to quickly and securely anchor your dentures to your smile. Give us a call today to learn more or schedule your appointment.

VELscope Oral Cancer Screening For Oral Health

May 2, 2013

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: Dr. Anthony Giamberardino, general dentistry, Giamberardino Dental Care, Malden, Medford, oral cancer, Somerville, VELscope, Winchester — Dr. Anthony Giamberardino @ 7:34 pm

Oral cancer is a serious threat to your overall health. One American dies from oral cancer every hour. It’s important to visit us at Giamberardino Dental Care so that we can check you for signs of oral cancer with a VELscope exam.

The danger in oral cancer is that most cases are not discovered until later on, so the issue has been allowed to spread. The sooner it’s discovered, the greater the chances it can be treated. We recommend all our patients have a VELscope oral cancer exam once a year.

VELscope technology allows us to quickly and comfortably check you for signs of oral cancer. The screening uses a special light that illuminates cells that are abnormal or cancerous so they can clearly be seen. This is a simple test that can be extremely important for your health.

You may think that just because you don’t smoke, you’re not at risk. However this isn’t true, for 25 percent of oral cancer cases are people who are non-smokers and don’t have other risk factors for the disease. Besides smoking, other risk factors include daily alcohol use, HIV, diabetes, and viral infections.

Oral cancer is something that should be taken seriously because it can affect anyone. Give us a call today to learn more about the risk factors or to schedule a VELscope exam.

February 5, 2013

Filed under: Restorative Dentistry — Tags: dental implants, Dr. Giamberardino, Giamberardino Dental Care, Medford, Medford restorative dentistry, Somerville, Winchester — Dr. Anthony Giamberardino @ 5:53 pm

If you’re missing teeth, dental implants from Giamberardino Dental Care could be what you’ve been looking for to help restore your smile. We want to help all our patients smile proudly again.

Dental implants are a good way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. If you’re missing teeth, it could affect your ability to eat, hurt your self esteem, and even increase your risk of losing more teeth. They will look and feel natural, and blend in with the rest of your teeth.

One of the major advantages of dental implants is that they are anchored into your jaw. This helps increase the stability of the implant, as over time the implanted post will fuse with your jaw bone. Since the implants are a part of your mouth, you won’t have the slippage that is sometimes associated with dentures.

Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, or can support a bridge, partial denture or full denture. There are a variety of dental implant options available, so there’s bound to be a solution that fits your smile needs.

If properly taken care of, your dental implants can last you a lifetime. You’ll have a beautiful, healthy smile once again. If you’re interested in learning more, or want to see if dental implants are right for you, give us a call! We’d love to help.

Are you dissatisfied with your smile and want to make a change to the size, shape, or color of your teeth? Have you been putting it off because you’re concerned this will require extensive dental work? You should look into porcelain veneers from Giamberardino Dental Care.

Porcelain veneers are thin layers of dental porcelain that are attached to the front of your teeth, thus changing the appearance of your teeth. They can help if your teeth are stained or discolored, chipped, cracked, or misaligned.

Since the veneers are affixed to the front of your teeth, they can smooth over all these concerns. Also, they’re often called “instant orthodontics” because they can hide slight misalignments or gaps between your teeth instantly without having to wait for braces to work.

Dr. Giamberardino will custom design your porcelain veneers, so they’ll give you a healthy, natural look and compliment your facial structure. The procedure will only take two appointments and then you’ll have a beautiful smile you can’t wait to show off.

Are porcelain veneers right for you? Stop hiding or being disappointed in your smile! Schedule your appointment today with Dr. Giamberardino to learn more and see if this is the solution you’ve been waiting for. We want all our patients to have smiles they’re proud of. We even offer complimentary computer simulations so that patients can see how their own smile can be enhanced with porcelain veneers!
