Gum Disease. It’s more common than you think.
I had a patient in this week that was diagnosed with periodontal disease (gum disease) and he had been coming in for regular cleanings and check ups. Since his last six month cleaning he developed the infection in his gingiva (gums). He was very surprised, especially since he hadn’t changed anything in his home care, [...]
Home Care for Children’s Teeth
It may seem silly to start brushing a baby’s first tooth, but in reality it is setting up good habits for the future. It is ideal to start even with a washcloth in an infants mouth and then progress into a soft bristled brush. While the child is under the age of 3 and not able [...]

Why am I Getting Cavities Now?
This is a question I get asked often. Some people, who may have some bad eating or home care habits are fortunate enough to go a long time without having a cavity when all of a sudden are told they now have one or more cavities. It always amazes me though when you start to ask [...]

Why X-rays at Certain Intervals are Important
Patients often have the misconception that if a dental office says you are due for x-rays but their insurance coverage doesn’t correlate with that recommended interval, it must not be necessary. Unfortunately, that is not true. The American Dental Association, as well as the universities that train dentists, recommend yearly bite wing x-rays as well [...]
Tooth Whitening
Many of our patients at Serene Oaks Dental ask me what is the best bleaching system to get a whiter smile. For many of those patients, they don’t have a lot of time to get that whiter smile. I would highly recommend to those patients our Zoom 2 whitening system. In about an hour our [...]
When should I bring in my child for their first visit?
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists it is recommended that a child’s first dental visit should be between the eruption of the first tooth and the child’s first birthday.
