Saving Hopeless Teeth Missing teeth expose you to unnecessary health risks. A root canal can prevent the need for an extraction, saving teeth with roots that have been injured or infected. A root canal is a treatment that repairs a tooth by excavating the pulp chamber and packing the void with filling material. This is often required when dental decay destroys the nerve of a tooth, or if the tooth has become infected. At that point, you need more than a simple filling as a repair. Dr. Motwani is skilled in advanced root canal therapy. He uses modern anesthetics and technology, making a root canal a manageable form of treatment.

Now the Good News The threat of gum disease has been acknowledged, and most dental insurance plans offer good coverage for a variety of treatments. While in some severe cases surgery is the only acceptable form of treatment, there are now powerful NON-surgical procedures that, combined with improved dental hygiene, can arrest the spread of the disease.

Do You Find Yourself Falling Asleep on the Job? Sleep apnea robs your body of the rest and oxygen it needs to flourish. If you or a loved one find yourself falling asleep during the day, snoring loudly, or coping with interrupted breathing during sleep, you may be afflicted with sleep apnea. The go-to treatment for sleep apnea has always been a CPAP device. A facial mask connects to a machine that pumps a continuous stream of air into your nose or mouth while you sleep. However, many people find this to be frustrating and stop using the device. If you have sleep apnea and can’t tolerate your CPAP, modern dentistry has new treatment solutions in the form of oral appliances. These small acrylic devices work much like an orthodontic retainer or mouthguard, fitting over your upper and lower teeth. They properly align your tongue and jaw to open your airway and allow more air to flow into your lungs as you sleep. They are easy to install and remove, simple to clean, and convenient for...

What’s So Bad About Losing a Tooth? Regardless of why you’ve lost a tooth – periodontal disease, decay, accident, or other trauma – you should know that without a replacement you may soon encounter a variety of other difficulties, some quite severe. The removal of even one tooth can cause your other teeth to become displaced, thus altering the way you gain nutrients from your food. You may experience weight gain or loss due to diet changes, develop a sunken or wrinkled facial appearance, or even undergo an unwanted change in your speech patterns. Dr. Motwani recommends dental implants. A solution that, in most cases, can replace all your missing teeth. Designed to blend with your remaining teeth, they look so natural that at first glance even a dentist will have trouble seeing the difference.

The Cleanest Your Teeth Can Be Removing plaque and tartar from your teeth typically requires hook-shaped scaling instruments to scrape away the hardened deposits. In our office, we can use an ultrasonic scaler. This hand tool employs high-frequency vibrations to allow us to quickly strip deposits from the surface, under the gumline, and even in the deep pockets of your teeth with a lot less discomfort. Your teeth will have never felt so clean! Westshore Dentistry, Inc.    Rajiv Motwani, DMD 4708 26th Street West Bradenton, FL 34207 (941) 758-4543 WestshoreDentistryFL.com

Senior Dental Care is Different Aging affects not only our teeth and gums, but even our prior dental work may weaken or grow loose over time. In addition, the risk of developing gum disease and root decay increases as we grow older. Which is why regular check-ups, daily cleaning, and good nutrition remain critical components for maintaining your dental health. Even if you are not experiencing any health issues, we can help restore the luster to your teeth that years of consuming coffee, tea, or tobacco may have darkened. If you’ve been experiencing a reduction of saliva flow as a side effect from a medication you are taking, we have products to ease your discomfort.

Worried About Knocking Out a Tooth? A custom-fit mouthguard can save your teeth. Each year across the United States, approximately 5 million teeth are knocked out in sports-related accidents. However, the one-size-fits-all mouthguards found in stores don’t often fit properly. A sloppy mouthguard interferes with your ability to breathe during running or other strenuous activities. On the other hand, a custom-made mouthguard fits and protects well, may improve your performance, and can be worn for any sport, by both adults and children. In fact, the American Dental Association recommends wearing custom mouthguards for most sports activities.

Gum Disease Can Contribute to Heart Disease and Even Stroke Evidence produced by medical research has shown that gum disease factors into the onset of strokes, heart disease, and many other life-threatening illnesses. So you can see why treating gum disease is vital to retaining your overall good health. The American Dental Association approximates that 8 out of 10 Americans have periodontal (gum) disease. Percentages at this elevated a level should be considered epidemic. But because tooth loss has long been thought of as simply unpleasant, not immediately life-threatening, the severity of the disease has been neglected for far too long. However, things are changing. The American Academy of Periodontology has released information that indicates the following: “Studies found periodontal infection may contribute to the development of heart disease, increase the risk of premature, underweight births, and pose a serious threat to people whose health is already compromised due to diabete...
