Great Aid for Those Wearing Braces

Braces are a substantial investment, so the last thing people want after wearing braces is for their teeth to be covered with white spots. These spots are the beginning of dental decay caused by bacteria.

There's help in avoiding white spots, the beginning of decay  during braces.

A Swedish study from Malmo University suggested that a high fluoride toothpaste may help those wearing braces not to develop the spots.  Since 85 percent of people wearing braces develop these lesions, a high fluoride toothpaste was studied.  

Five dental practices with over 400 people participated.  Half  were given a 4 times the amount of fluoride in a toothpaste, while the others used a regular fluoride toothpaste.  After the 20 months, it was determined that the high fluoride is effective in stopping one third of white lesions in age group 11 to 16.  Forty five percent with regular toothpaste showed signs of white spots while 34.6 that used the high fluoride showed the spots.

Verde Pointe Dental Associates offers prescription strength high fluoridated toothpastes at the dental office.  Marietta dentists can determine if a high fluoride toothpaste is right for you. Whether you have braces or are cavity prone,  Kirk Kimmeling DDS, Suzanna Aguilera DMD and Garrick McGrath can offer advice on your specific situation. Teeth need to last a lifetime, so high fluoride may be right for you.  

So Your 50 and Finally Getting a Gorgeous Smile

So, you're 50 years old, and have the kids raised, through college and now there's a little time and money available to use on yourself.  The over 50 year olds are a generation known to be hard working that took great care of their children.  So now it's their turn.

The next craze in America is people over 50 finally investing in the smiles they have always wanted.  An epidemic of older people getting braces, dental veneers, dental implants, teeth whitening or just plain cosmetic dentistry is on the rise. "A nice smile is something I have always wanted, and now I've done it," says a 75 year old patient of Dr. Kimmerling.  "This is the kind of comment we are hearing over and over."

"I have referred many older patients for braces, and as a reward, I whiten their teeth for free.  I love it when a person smiles, and they light the room looking gorgeous.  It makes being able to change how people see themselves an absolute joy." says Dr. Kimmerling.

If you are older and have always wanted a gorgeous smile, it's your time to shine.  Looking good at any age makes people not only shine on the outside, but shine on the inside.  It would be the great pleasure of Kirk Kimmerling DDS, dentist in Marietta, GA to have you as a patient.
