🦷 Dental Tip of the Month 🦷

Dealing with sensitivity in your teeth?

If you have had a recent cleaning and or exam with your dental provider and you have no treatment necessary, you may have hypersensitivity due to root exposure. Often this is not concerning and may be alleviated by products such as sensitive toothpaste or calcium supplements for the teeth that may be provided to you at your dentists' office.

Contact your dental provider for details.

NOTE: Whitening agents such as toothpaste, gels, or OTC products will make sensitivity much worse. If you utilize these products and have extreme sensitivity, discontinue use and talk to your dental provider.

🦷Clinical Technique of the month 🦷

Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART)

Have you ever had concerns about having old amalgam fillings removed? While current protocols do not require this technique for removal of amalgam fillings, there is still Mercury exposure during removal of these fillings. For some individuals this exposure is more concerning than for others.

Talk to your dental provider to see if the SMART technique for amalgam removal is appropriate for you or find a dental provider in your area that provides this technique.
