Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles conducted a survey to determine if a whiter smile had an impact on an individual’s attractive factor in a professional setting. The results revealed what many of us have assumed all along. Your white smile is the ticket that paves your way to admittance into the job market party. In today’s economy with so many vying for the same jobs, an investment in your teeth’s appearance could reward you with the best dividends.

The Loyola survey showed that participants whose teeth were whitened were viewed as more attractive. The individuals received longer interview that resulted in higher hiring rates with larger salary offers. Porcelain veneers that produce white smiles could very well be the best investment in your portfolio.

According to WebMD, “Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.” They are not only more stain resistant but can actually change the shape and color of the tooth and make it a more natural and attractive smile. The veneers are an investment that you can make that can last up to ten years or longer.

The US National Library of Medicine states that sore gums, a mouth sore or ulcer and a lump are usually the first symptoms to appear. These symptoms may be painless initially but oftentimes turn into a burning sensation.

It is hard to place cancer and good news together in one sentence but there is good news about the early detection of cancer. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), “It is now easier than ever to detect oral cancer early, when the opportunity for a cure is great.” The early detection lies in the branch of medicine known as dentistry.

Since dentistry is a branch of medicine, you should view your dentist as one of your team of healthcare providers who can aid in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of any disease in the oral cavity. If you are not regularly getting oral checkups, then you are risking the benefit of early detection and opening the door for serious consequences that could endanger your overall health.

Early detection can result in a 90 percent survival rate according to the US National Library of Medicine. If you have regularly scheduled dental visits, then the dentist can perform a routine cleaning and examination and keep a watchful eye open for any changes that occur.

There is a danger lurking in America that affects a quarter of the population of children before they even reach the age of five. By the time your children reach ages 12-15 years they will have a 50% chance of having tooth decay. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states, “Tooth decay affects more than one-fourth of U.S. children aged 2–5 years and half of those aged 12–15 years.”
Every parent strives to protect their children from harm and keep them safe. According to the CDC, “Oral health is often taken for granted, but it is an essential part of our everyday lives.”

WebMD states, "Sealants are a thin, plastic coating that are painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth -- usually the back teeth (the premolars, and molars) -- to prevent tooth decay. The painted on substance quickly bonds into the depressions and groves of the teeth forming a protective shield over the enamel of each tooth.” WebMD goes on to state that children should get the sealants to protect their molars through the cavity prone years from ages 6 to 14 years of age. It is noted that this will provide protection from decay for up to ten years although it is recommended that they be checked regularly by the dentist for wear and tear.

“There are more bacteria in your mouth right now than there are people on Earth,” according to the American Diabetes Association. That is bad news for the more than 25 million Americans who have diabetes. There are 7 million more who do not even know they have the disease.
People who have diabetes are twice as prone to serious dental issues. Gum disease is the leading cause of loose teeth and permanent tooth loss. If it is determined that you have diabetes, then you should be seeing a dentist more frequently than twice a year to prevent serious dental complications.
Dr. James Rhode is a top dentist located near Philadelphia in Bucks County. Dr. Rhode earned the top dentist title from his patients because many of them have been under Dr. Rhode’s care for the entire 30 years that he has been serving in the Philadelphia area.
Don’t believe that you are too young to develop gum problems as gum disease can start at any age. Regular visits to Dr. Rhode can detect the beginning stages of gingivitis before it becomes periodontitis. Since diabetes reduces your ability to fight bacteria which feeds gingivitis, it is important to regularly schedule appointments with your dentist. Plaque that cannot be removed with regular flossing and brushing needs the skilled hands of Dr. Rhode and his team to prevent that plaque from becoming tartar under your gum line that will lead to loose teeth.
Do not postpone calling Dr. Rhode to discuss your dental needs and concerns. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, “Waiting too long to take care of your mouth may make things worse.”

Planning for a family includes making sure the expectant mother’s body is in the optimum condition to carry a child. Did you realize that expectant mothers should obtain proper dental care before and during pregnancy? Good dental hygiene is vital to insuring a healthy pregnancy and a full-term baby.

The University of North Carolina School of Dentistry states, "Mothers who have periodontal disease are more likely to have pregnancy complications." The American Dental Association (ADA) has stated that gum diseases are serious infections that if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Scientists have discovered that the infections that stem from gum disease in expectant mothers can lead to premature births, low birth weights or worse.

According to MSNBC, Scientists from Case Western University recently discovered that gum disease and pregnancy can be a deadly combination for the unborn child. Gum disease and pregnancy are a toxic combination because the bacteria in the mouth can travel through the bloodstream and directly into the placenta. This can result in pre-term deliveries of less than 37 weeks of gestation.
