South Florida Cosmetic Dentist Notes How Oral Health Affects the Whole Body

Leave a comment

People tend to think of beautiful straight teeth as a purely cosmetic concern – a luxury rather than a necessity. However, teeth that are crooked, stained, or have other problems can cause physiological problems in the rest of the body or can be an indicator of other health problems.

“Crooked and crowded teeth are hard to clean properly, potentially leading to tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss,” notes Dr. Charles Nottingham, a Miami dentist and Fort Lauderdale dentist.”A bad bite can also cause abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, poor speech, and excessive stress on the jaw bone and gum tissue.”

Poor bites can also influence chewing and swallowing and food selection – leading to nutritional problems. Pain in the jaw or teeth can lead to pain in the head, neck, shoulders, or elsewhere in the body. Oral pain often leads to diminished activity, lost work days, depression, sleep problems, and missed school for children.

“In addition, problems with your teeth can be an indicator of whole-body health issues,” points out Dr. Nottingham, a South Florida cosmetic dentist.”Scientific research indicates a link between gum disease and many other overall health problems including: high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, premature births and many more.”

Sometimes teeth can reveal a previously unknown health condition. Conditions that can be detected in the mouth include diabetes (causesgum infections), acid reflux (teeth are much more prone to decay), some auto-immune disorders (the soft tissue in the mouth and salivary glands can be affected), liver diseases (the soft tissue in the mouth is jaundiced) and many more.

Fort Lauderdale Cosmetic Dentists Signs Exclusive Agreement with da Vinci Studios

Smile South Florida’s top cosmetic dentist in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami area, Dr. Charles Nottingham, has maintained a close relationship with the owner of da Vinci Studios, Daniel Materdomini.

Fort Lauderdale Cosmetic Dentists Signs Exclusive Agreement with da Vinci Studios

In a letter to fort lauderdale dentist Dr. Nottingham, the owner of da Vinci Studios wrote: “… your preparations and impressions exceeded perfection. I had an opportunity to use many dentists in the area…but I chose you because of your experience, knowledge and the dedication you have with your patients. My Mom was thrilled with her new smile…If the ‘Extreme Makeover’ show was filmed in Florida, I am sure you would be the providing dentist.”

Da Vinci Studios offers two lines: the da Vinci line which offers fee-for-service veneers and crowns and the Leonardo line which offers veneers and crowns for PPO insurance patients. Because of the success of the da Vinci line and their faith in its durability, da Vinci studios extended the warranty on new da Vinci veneers so they are guaranteed for life. The Fort Lauderdale cosmetic dentists at Smile South Florida offer both lines.

“I have seen Dr. Nottingham transform people’s lives. Dr. Nottingham is giving South Florida something to smile about.” said, Daniel Materdomini.

This opinion is seconded by Craig Galbraith, also from da Vinci studios: “I have never seen a smile gallery as extensive as Smile South Florida’s and where the final result of every case is of such a high standard.”

Fort Lauderdale Cosmetic Dentist Offers Waterlase Laser Dentistry

Known for being on the cutting edge of dental technology, Miami dental center Smile South Florida is giving its patients more reasons to smile than ever. Using Waterlase dentistry, Miami cosmetic dentist Dr. Charles Nottingham and his certified staff of Waterlase dentists and hygienists, take the pain out of many of dentistry’s most feared treatments.

Waterlase dentistry combines the precision of surgical lasers and the elemental power of water to gently perform several procedures that keep Smile South Florida’s patients’ teeth healthy. This treatment method can be used to handle major dental work such as filling, bondings, cavity removal, decay removal, and many more procedures.

“Whether we’re caring for the patient’s teeth, bone, or gums, Waterlase technology is always our first choice for treatment,” says the Fort Lauderdale cosmetic dentist. “The benefits are endless. From less anesthesia, to less bleeding, to fewer appointments, to improved efficiency and accuracy, we’re providing the absolute cutting edge in dentistry, and the best part is that our patients reap all the benefits.”

Whereas older procedures require cutting, scraping, and drilling, Waterlase laser dentistryuses water and laser energy with far greater accuracy than drills and scalpels. This eliminates vibrations and sounds of drilling.

“The more accurate the treatment, the more healthy tissue we preserve,” exclaims Dr. Nottingham, a Florida laser dentist. “Often with older methods healthy tooth and gum tissue is damaged during treatment. Obviously, the dental community’s job is to promote and preserve healthy teeth and gum tissue, and with the Waterlase, dentists can do just that.”

“Waterlase treatment not only removes damaged or decayed tissue more efficiently, it does so with less pain,” adds the Fort Lauderdale dentist. Because the laser essentially desensitizes nerves during treatment and pain is greatly reduced.
