A good dentist can help you achieve minty fresh breath and keep the smile on your face. In this post, we’ll talk about some of the causes of bad breath and how you can improve your breath in partnership with a trusted dentist and dental care team.

For Same Day Crowns, Medford Residents See Dr. Giamberardino
May 14, 2016
Once upon a time, having a dental crown required two appointments with Medford dentist Dr. Giamberardino. The first visit would usually be quite lengthy, because of the time required to take molded impressions of your tooth and the preparatory work necessary. In addition, patients always left wearing a temporary crown, which required a bit of gentle attention. After waiting at least two weeks for the dental lab to fabricate the permanent crown, a patient would return to the dentist to have the crown set. Now, however, there are same day crowns in Medford that make restoring your tooth a dream come true.

The Dentist Medford Trusts Reveals the Effect of Tobacco on Oral Health
November 19, 2015
It’s no secret that tobacco use isn’t healthy. It says so right on the package. On cigarettes and other smoked tobacco warnings from the Surgeon General proclaim, “smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and may complicate pregnancy.” On smokeless tobacco packages, such warnings as this product can cause mouth cancer, gum disease, and tooth loss, are found. The truth is that all of these warning should be attached to every package of tobacco whether it is smoked or smokeless. The oral health effects of tobacco range from the most mild bad breath and dental stains, to oral cancer which accounts for one death every hour in the US. Regular preventive dentistry checkups can help diagnose and treat these oral health concerns at the earliest stages, but the only way to truly prevent these effects of tobacco usage is to kick the habit.

The Facts about Mini Dental Implants Medford
November 9, 2015
Dental implants are fast becoming the most popular tooth replacement option.

Unfortunately, patients with bone density loss and immune compromising health conditions like diabetes, have been unable to benefit from dental implants due to the size of the implant post and the amount of healing time required. Mini dental implants are an innovative new type of implant that offers patients who may have been unable to receive traditional implants an opportunity to complete their smiles in just one appointment.

Tips to Refine Your Brushing and Flossing Techniques
September 28, 2015
Look around you. How many technological devices are within your reach right now? I can touch about five. Yes, the spread of technology has made our lives easier, but somehow we still find ourselves increasingly busy. I think it’s interesting, this idea that we’re slowly running out of hours in the day to do everything we need to do. But it’s more than a little scary, too — especially because it seems to have crept into our lives so much that too often, we forget to do the most basic, important things.
