A Review of Snore Appliances

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

We’ve all been in a hotel room with a group of people where everyone is still awake in the middle of the night because of…no, not excessive celebration…I’m talking about the one person that is sawing logs – the infamous snorer.

The simple definition of snoring is “obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping.” The not-so-simple part is how to stop it – UNTIL NOW!

Read on for a review of the 3 most common snore prevention appliances that your dentist…yes, your DENTIST!…can prescribe – the TSD (Tongue Stabilizing Device), Silent Nite, and the TAP (Thornton Adjustable Positioner).

The Greystone Smile Design team recently visited Inverness Elementary School to discuss oral hygiene for February’s Dental Health Month. Dawn and Angel spent an entire morning talking with the 1st graders about diet, what to do when you get a loose tooth, and the importance of brushing and flossing. Dawn is pictured on the right and is a hygienist at GSD. Angel is a dental assistant and is dressed up as The Tooth Fairy.

A New Way to Numb

Monday, May 24th, 2010

In the dental office, we never mention the “n” word…the one that rhymes with beedle. If it weren’t for the “beedles,” maybe we dentist would be more popular. Nobody likes “beedles,” but if we didn’t numb your tooth, we definitely wouldn’t remain friends.

But what if we could numb your tooth without you even knowing it? Or, better yet, what if we could do some procedures without the use of “beedles” altogether.

Valentine’s Day – Happy Kissing!

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Ahhh…Valentine’s Day. The time of love, red roses, chocolate hearts, and….kissing! There’s arguably more kissing on Valentine’s Day than any other day of the year. The Valentine’s Day gift breakdown shows 65% greeting cards, 38% candy, 32% flowers, and 11% jewelry. At the end of the day, all the gift giving is for one notable reason – for the eloquent, midnight smooch.

As dentists, we seem to always focus on the negatives. Don’t eat candy or you’ll get a cavity; don’t brush too hard or your gums will recede; don’t eat ice or you could chip a tooth. We could talk about the risky business of kissing, like the sharing of harmful bacteria or the transmission of different illnesses. But not today. We’ll only explore the positives of the “make out” and discuss ways to “kiss a little longer.”
