Having been in practice for over twenty years, and serving Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and all of the Coachella Valley, I have enjoyed interacting with my patients and listening carefully to their wants and needs related to their dental care.  I have enjoyed discussing options and developing effective treatment plans tailored specifically to each patient’s needs and desires.

School is starting for most students this month; others are going to job interviews, perhaps for the first time.  Are you concerned about making a good first impression when you meet someone for the very first time?

Periodontist like Dr. Anne A. Nicholas of Palm Desert, California can help you put your best foot forward or should we say your best smile forward in this case.  You want these special occasions to be remembered by the people you are trying to impress.  It is important to have an engaging smile which shows you have confidence and you are at your very best.

We are living in a time when we are judged by our appearance, and as we are living longer we perhaps lose some of our confidence due to aging.  However,  thanks to the advancements in cosmetic procedures, we now can maintain a more youthful look and continue to be competitive in an ever aggressive world.

Recent studies by the American Academy of Periodontology concluded the following:
•    50% consider the smile the first facial feature they notice
•    80% are not happy with their smile

•    Respondents were seven times more likely to have periodontal, smile  enhancement procedures, than face-lifts

•    Smile enhancement procedures out numbered eyelid surgeries four to one [1]

If you feel your smile and your teeth are not where you think they should be, consider visiting a Periondontist like Dr. Anne A. Nicholas and see what procedures are available to help you reach your goal of having a more confident smile.

Many of our patients brush their teeth regularly, but fail to clean between their teeth.  It is important that flossing is done regularly as well.   In our busy lives, we sometime neglect to brush properly as well and put off flossing all together.  This is a big mistake, and here is why!

Periodontal problems start between the teeth where normal brushing cannot get clean, so bacteria builds up which causes redness or soreness and if left untreated can be the beginning of periodontal disease.  It is not uncommon to see gum’s receding and the jaw bone starting to deteriorate which will lead to expensive dentistry to repair.

It is far better to get in the habit of daily, brushing and flossing your teeth.   Take a tooth brush and floss with you to work, and use them after breakfast snacks and lunch.   The combination of daily care and regular professional cleanings provides the best opportunity to prevent sever dental disease.

Studies show that patients who get into good brushing and flossing habits coupled with regular visit with their dentists for cleanings have far less problems with their teeth and gum’s and their overall dental health is significantly better.  Make smart choices when it comes to your health, and protect yourself from disease with good daily habits.

And finally, look for the American Dental Associations’ Seal of Acceptance on brushes, toothpastes, mouth rinses, and other oral care products.  You can be assured that these products meet the ADA guidelines and will provide the safety and effectiveness you are looking for in dental care products.
