HEALTHY LIVING… Did You Know?

December 28, 2018

Although you probably understand that poor dental care can lead to cavities, did you know that other, more serious health problems can also result from poor oral care? The truth is that if you don’t take proper care of your teeth, you could face far more serious consequences than a simple toothache or some unsightly stains such as:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Dementia
  • Respiratory infections
  • Diabetic complications

Yikes! The End of the Year is Almost Here…

December 5, 2018

As we near the end of your insurance year, we wanted to remind you to take advantage of any unused dental benefits that you might have left for 2014. Every year you receive a maximum dollar amount from your dental insurance company, and in almost all cases the unused portion of this amount is lost on December 31st. This is YOUR MONEY. These are benefits that YOU have worked hard for, and that you have already paid for. Give us a call today and we will help you maximize any insurance benefits that you have left for this year. It would really be a shame to just lose that money. The insurance company wouldn’t mind though. With just a few weeks left, our schedule is rapidly filling up for the end of this year, so call our office RIGHT NOW at (972) 233-1311 while you are thinking about it, and we will find an appointment that fits your schedule. Don’t wait and potentially get disappointed and lose the rest of your dental benefits.

FUN HALLOWEEN FACTS

October 31, 2018

14 Mind-Blowing Things You Didn’t Know About Halloween Candy

How much Americans really spend on Halloween, the history of “fun size” candy, and more sweet facts about your favorite Halloween treats.

A lot of people hand out Halloween candy

Of the 157 million people who participate in Halloween, more than 141 million buy candy. That’s almost 45 percent of the entire U.S. population filling plastic pumpkins and pillowcases with sugary goodness. This is what 100 calories of your favorite Halloween candy looks like.

The most popular Halloween candy is…

Reese’s. According to USA Today, peanut butter cup sales neared $510 million in 2013. It’s also the most popular candy in the most populated states: California and Texas. M&M’s came in a close second with more than $500 million in sales in 2013.

Halloween candy is expensive

Consumers spend an average of $2.1 billion on Halloween candy each year, or about $47 per American. As a comparison, they collectively spend $2.6 billion on costumes and $330 million dressing up their pets.

Halloween is not the best holiday for candy sales

Healthy Living – Dental Care

October 24, 2018

Taking good care of your mouth, teeth, and gums is a worthy goal in and of itself. Good oral and dental hygiene can help prevent bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease – and can help you keep your teeth as you get older. However, it’s also important to understand the link between oral health and diseases such as Endocarditis, Cardiovascular disease, and Osteoporosis.

 

Did you know that October is National Dental Hygiene Month???

October 10, 2018

“Healthy Habits are Easier than You Think,” Did you know that October is National Dental Hygiene Month? Why not let us help you focus on maintaining optimal oral health while leading a busy, active lifestyle.

New Patient Exam

Outstanding Care for a Lifetime of Optimal Oral Health

Thank you for choosing the office of Dr. Robert Mitchell for your family’s dental care. Our entire team values the opportunity to give you the personalized attention and beautiful, healthy smile you deserve. We’ll dedicate two hours for your new patient exam. When you arrive, we’ll give you a tour of our dental office and introduce you to our team. Refreshments are available for your enjoyment, as are Bose music headphones, movie goggles, massagers, and comfortable blankets, hot and cold neck pillows, and warm, scented towels.

Assessing Your Teeth, Gums, and Bite

We will talk to you about your dental needs and the reason for your visit. Then Dr. Mitchell will conduct a thorough exam which will include checking your bite alignment, assessing the integrity of existing dental work, and scanning your teeth for decay using our non-invasive DIAGNOdent laser. About 80% of the population unknowingly has some form of periodontal disease, so we will examine your gums for signs of this stealthy offender and suggest therapies for prevention or treatment. A set of digital X-rays will provide a complete picture of your oral health and aid in accurate diagnosis.

Screening for Oral Cancer

We will check your soft tissues for signs of oral cancer. We use a state-of-the-art tool called Velscope to identify suspicious lesions in the earliest stages. Oral cancer claims the lives of 7,500 Americans each year and often goes undetected until it has spread to the neck and lymph nodes. Early detection increases survival chances, so we will screen you for oral cancer at your new patient exam and subsequent checkups.

We would love to schedule an New Patient Evaluation for you!!!

Please call 972-233-1311 and schedule today.
