Transitioning to Dentures

Are you missing some of your natural teeth? Do you feel as though you may require extractions sooner rather than later? When going from natural teeth to a denture, the transition doesn’t have to be difficult. We provide options for optimal healing, improved esthetics and ideal function. A denture can be fabricated prior to extractions and placed in your mouth immediately following the removal of your teeth. This is a very popular option for patients as it means you don’t need to go without teeth at any point. Some patients prefer to let their gums heal prior to their dentures being made. Ask your denturist!!! Your new smile is only a few steps away.

Dehydration is a common cause of hospitalization among elderly people that can have serious health consequences.

What’s Tok Sen Massage?

Tok Sen Massage originated in northern Thailand and blends elements of traditional Thai massage with the use of Tok Sen instruments. A small mallet and wedge, usually made from the tamarind tree, are used during the massage treatment. These wooden instruments create a deep vibration as one strikes the other, helping to stimulate energy points and energy lines in the body. This is coupled with passive stretches and manual pressure to help bring the mind and body into a state of greater well-being. Tok Sen Massage can be a very relaxing, healing and energizing experience that works with energy flow.

Protect Teeth from Acid Damage

Dental erosion is a form of tooth wear – where enamel and then dentin is worn down. It is defined as irreversible damage to the teeth caused by chemicals (usually acids). This acid can come from outside sources (e.g., food and drink) or from inside the body. External sources of acids include fruits and fruit juices (particularly citrus), soft drinks, sports drinks, wine, and vinegar. Dental erosion is preventable. The use of a straw can help keep acidic drinks away from the teeth. Rinsing with mouthwash or water after eating can help neutralize the acid exposed to your teeth and gums.
