Preventive Dentist, Natick, MA

July 13, 2015

ThinkstockPhotos-186284986Did you ever play would you rather as a child? The point of the game is to offer a person two equally terrible activities, and see which of the two the person chooses. When it comes to caring for your teeth, would you rather stop problems before they start, or treat dental health issues after they’ve done damage? Most people wouldn’t even hesitate on this extremely simple round of “would you rather”: stopping problems before they start is the clear choice. Luckily for us, this doesn’t have to be only a game. The choice is truly yours. Preventive dental treatments from Papageorgiou Dental Associates in Natick, MA stop dental damage before it starts. Call to schedule an appointment today.

Dental Health Habits

The best way to ensure continued oral health, is to remember to visit our office twice a year, and brush twice a day. By committing to these two simple steps, you commit to lifelong oral health. It’s as easy at that. Humans are creatures of habit. Some habits we want to break like always eating a bag of chips in front of the tv after work, but others we work hard to establish and maintain. Eating well, exercising, getting enough sleep, and caring for our teeth building these habits help us to feel better, look great, and live a longer, happier life. At Papageorgiou Dental Associates, we’re here to help you achieve your oral health care goals.

Twice a Year

Every six months, we look forward to seeing your smiling face, and we hope visiting our office is something you look forward to. Our dedicated staff strives to make every visit comfortable and beneficial. Your consistent hygiene appointments support your at home dental health care routine so teeth stay clean and healthy. At your regular checkups one of our skilled dentists will thoroughly examine your teeth and mouth. We’ll look for tooth decay and other damage, but our doctors also screen for periodontal (gum) disease, bruxism (grinding/clenching teeth), TMJ disorder, and oral cancer. Because our team examines your bite every six months, we are able to spot irregularities quickly and determine if treatment is necessary. The more familiar our knowledgeable staff becomes with your oral health the better able we are to treat you, and best of all prevent many oral health issues from ever happening.

Twice a Day

Preventive dental care starts at home. Your regular checkups would do you little good, if you never brushed or flossed your teeth between visits. Establishing thorough, consistent home cleaning habits is essential to maintain oral health. Adult patients may benefit from re-examining their brushing habits to get the most out of their twice daily routine. One great method for brushing your teeth is referred to as the “Bass method” this style of brushing allows patients to maximize the benefits of their daily brushing. Here’s how you can use the Bass method:

  1. Always brush for at least 2 minutes using a toothpaste with 1000ppm to 1100ppm of fluoride
  2. Starting on the top, back teeth, placed your tooth brush at a 45 degree angle along the gum line
  3. Gently move your toothbrush back and forth along the gum line in a vibrational motion staying on the same set of teeth
  4. Count to ten
  5. Sweep your tooth brush quickly downward on the outside of the set of teeth you were cleaning
  6. Reposition on the next set of teeth and repeat for front and backs of top and bottom arches
  7. For the biting surface of teeth, use a quick back and forth motion to loosen matter, and a sweeping motion to remove it
  8. Don’t forget to gently brush the inside of the mouth and the tongue

Teeth Whitening in Framingham, MA

If you’ve decided that you’d like to have a whiter and brighter smile, then we can help you achieve your smile goal. For many people, maintaining a white smile is a daily struggle—and we do mean daily. Every day people eat and drink many foods and beverages that are prone to stain their teeth: coffee, tea, red wine, cherries, tomatoes and chocolate just to name a few. Your smile can also become stained or discolored from smoking or chewing tobacco, certain medications such as the antibiotic tetracycline, injury to a tooth, or your age and genetics.

For the fastest results, we offer KöR® Whitening Deep Bleaching System for our in-office whitening service. We’ll apply the safe and effective whitening gel to your teeth, and just as your teeth’s enamel can absorb stains, it will absorb the gel deeply into the tooth and dissolve those stains. Very little tooth sensitivity results from whitening with KöR, so the only thing you’ll be left with after your teeth whitening treatment is a dramatically rejuvenated smile.

For our patients who would prefer to whiten their smiles in the comfort and privacy of home, we offer either NiteWhite or DayWhite teeth whitening systems. With custom-fitted trays and professional grade whitening gel, you’ll have that beautiful smile in two weeks or less.

Invisalign in Framingham, MA

If the smile you desire necessitates having straighter teeth, then Papageorgiou Dental Associates can take care of that, too. With Invisalign, your teeth will gradually move into proper alignment as you progress through a series of clear plastic aligners designed just for your smile. Except for mealtime and when you need to brush and floss, you’ll wear your aligners all day and every day. At the end of treatment, you’ll have straight teeth and a more beautiful smile.

Effective Sleep Apnea Therapy in Natick, MA

April 17, 2015

Do you snore while you are in a deep sleep? Many Americans snore while they drift off into dreamland, waking their partner in the middle of the night. However, frequent, loud snoring may be a sign of sleep apnea, a common and, in some cases, a potentially serious disorder. If you feel tired after a night of rest or irregular throughout the day, you may have sleep apnea. Papageorgiou Dental Associates, which houses phenomenal dentists and their expert staff, has a solution for those who deal with this sleeping disorder.

How Do I Know if I Have Sleep Apnea?

sleep apneaSleep apnea is a condition that affects your breathing patterns while you sleep. Breathing is briefly interrupted or becomes shallow. The pauses last for seconds, but they can occur hundreds of times throughout the night, pulling you out of your natural sleep cycle. In result of this interruptions and erratic breathing habits, you spend less time in a deep sleep and your day suffers because of it. Symptoms and signs of sleep apnea include morning headaches, irritability, random mood swings, dry mouth or sore throat when waking, difficulty concentrating throughout the day, daytime drowsiness, and moments where you feel as if you could rapidly fall asleep.

How Do I Treat It?

Our sleep apnea therapy is simple, yet effective. After an initial consultation with the doctor, we will determine if you have sleep apnea. If diagnosed, we will make an impression of your mouth and craft a mouth appliance for you to wear at night. This mouthpiece slightly opens the mouth, allowing for better air intake throughout the night, discontinuing the obstructions from the sleeping condition. With continued use of the appliance, you will retain regular breathing while you sleep and will no longer experience interruptions while Mr. Sandman gives you a dream.

I Think I May Need to see a Doctor.

Our staff and dentists are available to see you when you schedule an appointment. We understand the seriousness of this condition and we are ready to help those who have it. Our office is available to Natick, MA, Framingham, Sudbury, Wayland, Wellesley, and the surrounding communities.
