Brush (and floss) your teeth!

In the recent Mayo Clinic Health Letter , (Volume 37, Number 4) there was an interesting article on how tooth brushing reduces cardiovascular risks. The article states: Brushing your teeth twice daily is important for maintaining good oral hygiene. This daily routine can also benefit your heart. A study presented at the 2018 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions provides new evidence of this link. The study's 682 participants self-reported their tooth-brushing habits compared with the recommendation of twice a day for at least two minutes each time. Over an average of 28 months of follow-up, those who reported brushing their teeth less frequently and for a shorter duration had three times the risk of a first major cardiovascular event than did those who met the tooth-brushing guidelines.

We Got A New CT!

 A few months ago, disaster hit our office. 😱 Our CT went down! No fear, we got it replace with a newer and better CT scan. Introducing the Carestream 8100.  The CS8100 allows us to choose whether we want to concentrate on one quadrant of the teeth or if we choose to take a full mouth scan. We can even take 2D panoramic x-rays if we wish. The scan yields a high resolution image. These images are more clear and sharper than the images produced by our previous CT.  We are so happy to have this new CT scan in our office. It has helped diagnosis some of the more difficult cases we have seen recently.

Worth Saving

In today's world, we know that social media plays a vital role in patients' decision making. Patients tend to do research before they make an appointment.

This campaign was created to rise awareness to people that their natural teeth are worth saving. Through their social media and advertising, the AAE has been able to spread awareness of Endodontics and the reason to keeping your own teeth. In the few months since the start of the campaign, the AAE has seen a growth in total patient social media users. In the first half of 2019, on their Facebook page, they've seen a 4.99% growth in the number of people that liked the page. A 8.99% growth with their Twitter followers. Finally, a 65% growth from free advertising from Google.  The numbers for Faceb...
