Flossing- the Triumphant Underdog

Everyone has heard that you should floss your teeth at least twice a day, but do you really know why? Flossing has key dental health benefits including cavity and plaque prevention, but it also has an impact on your overall health. Flossing regularly is closely linked with preventing heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular disease conditions. The reason for this connection is the plaque build-up in the mouth causes problems in the bloodstream, which may cause inflammation in the arteries, which then increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Flossing is one of the key areas of oral health that can be easily overlooked. Brushing and using mouth wash alone will not get the job done. So if you’re thinking about skipping flossing today, think twice. The extra couple of minutes it takes to floss can be a key to your overall health! Key benefits of flossing include:Getting rid of plaque Preventing Gum Disease Preventing Cavities Preventing Cardiovascular disease Better smelling breath Whiter Teeth If you have questions about your oral health, please contact our Downtown Austin Dental Office or Lakeway Dental Office. Dr Tejas Patel is a Dentist in Austin. He has been practicing Dentistry for the past 10 years.

Laser Dentistry and Laser Periodontal Treatment

We're excited to announce that our Dental Hygienist is now certified to perform Laser Periodontal and other treatments. In our Austin & Lakeway Dental office we've been using a soft tissue laser to perform various procedures like laser gum contouring for gummy smiles, cosmetic gum procedures, and frenectomy procedures for braces/orthodontic treatment. Now we're offering laser treatment for the following:
•Treating of Aphtous Ulcers and Herpetic Lesions
•Reducing bacteria associated with gum disease and helping sterilize the gum pockets after periodontal treatment
The laser helps get rid of the bacteria that causes gum disease so it helps with better healing and better results of our gum/ periodontal treatments. For fever blisters or ulcers it helps speed up the healing time and helps reduce the irritation.
For gum treatments it also helps prevent post operative soreness and bleeding.
Call 512-263-8337 to find out more about this great technology.
