Decreased Radiations with Digital X-Rays

By Arthur Kezian

With the help of X-Rays during pre-dental examinations, your dentist can spot areas that need attention and take care of them before they become a problem. Let’s take cavities into consideration – with the help of digital X-Rays, most cavities can be detected when they are just beginning. Depending on the recommendation of your dentist, they can either be kept under observation or can be filled with a composite filling. This way, your tooth would be saved. But, without X-Rays, your dentist might not know about the cavity until it is visually noticeable or until you start feeling sensitivity and pain. When this happens, your cavity is already at a pretty large state. Dr. Arthur A. Kezian recommends getting X-Rays during your dental visits to make sure everything is under proper precaution.

Ample and Pleasing Results:                 

·        Dental X-Rays are important in diagnostic appointments because they show your dentist what is going on in between your teeth. This way, they can do a thorough examination both visually and with X-Rays.

·         Your dentist can check for in between cavities, substantial tartar build up, and proper bone levels through digital X-Rays.  

·         Most offices nowadays use digital X-Rays which drop radiation levels tremendously. Technology has come a long way from using film X-Rays.

·         Digital X-Rays are not only safer but they are easier to read, a lot more comfortable, and very quick as well.

Palliative Measures:

·         If you do not take care of your teeth and gums properly and good home care is lacking, then you possibly have problems going on inside your mouth that you are not aware of.

·         With dental radiations you can treat areas that need attention before they turn into bigger concerns and costlier problems.

Prognosis leads to Alleviation:

·         Precautious measures are always recommended and this does not only involve your teeth. Your overall health should be a priority and you should always keep up with health related check ups and appointments. Taking X-Rays are only one of the many ways you could take precautious measures.

·         If you need further information regarding X-Rays, or specifically digital X-Rays, contact Dr. Kezian and his staff since their office only uses digital X-Rays.

Proper Dental Care Can Lead to a Glowing Smile


Many people think brushing is enough to keep their teeth clean; this is not the case. There are many things that come into consideration when speaking of oral hygiene. A combination of brushing, flossing, rinsing and brushing the tongue can help keep your oral hygiene at a good level. But, even with the best home care, your mouth still accumulates plaque which builds up over time and turns into tartar. Recent science has found that teeth problems may be connected to cardiac disease, pneumonia, stroke and even problems during pregnancies.  Dr Arthur A. Kezian, a Los Angeles dentist specialized in dental care, has been treating and educating the public about the problems created by lack of proper oral health. He and his staff keep themselves updated with the latest advanced technology and methods to keep the mouth free from any dental problems.

Dental Hygiene Tips:


Accumulation of food particles can lead to plaque and other gum diseases. Good dental care includes flossing. It should be done with about 18 inches of floss wrapped around your middle finger and hand. The floss should be worked up and down between the teeth. Flossing should be done below the gum line and in between every tooth.

  • Flossing should be done so that all hidden food particles could be removed.
  • Flossing should be done at least once every day.

Brushing Twice a Day Keeps the Germs Away:


A good and soft bristled tooth brush approved by the dental association should be used for brushing to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.


·         Brushing should be done at a 45 degree angle with short strokes to make sure the bristles go between the gums as well.


·         Your tooth brush should be changed every three to four months.


Natural Choices:


Fruits and vegetables play an important part in tooth whitening. Some of the natural ways to whiten your teeth and improve your health at the same time are available in our homes.

·         Apples, carrots, celery, and pears are acidic in nature and naturally clean and whiten your teeth. 

·         Strengthening of the enamel can be done with cheese, milk and yogurt which contain calcium and phosphorus.

·         Strawberries also contain an acid which can help remove stains from teeth.

Music Can Calm Your Nerves:


Some people don’t like visiting the dentist for routine check ups because of anxiety, but, keeping up with your check ups is very important. Have you considered music?

·         Music is one way to relax your nerves when visiting a dentist. Take your favorite tunes with you to ease your mind.

·         Yoga breathing exercises are also an ideal way for reducing fear and stress.

Stomach Acid And Tongue Cleaning:


Stomach acids are another major factor for dental problems and they can cause the enamel of the tooth to decay.

·         Beverages like alcohol and caffeinated drinks should be avoided.

·         Spicy food and fried food cause indigestion and can cause dental problems.

  • Bacteria harbored in the tongue can create bad breath and other dental problems. Your tongue should be cleaned using a proper tongue cleaner after brushing.

Dr. Kezian is an expert in oral hygiene and creates awareness in his community by educating his patients about dental care. He and his staff have made it their mission to generate awareness about dental hygiene among children and adults alike.

An Emergency Dentist Can Relieve Your Pain



If you have an emergency regarding your teeth, don’t wait around. Your oral health should not be ignored. If you don’t have your teeth are not a priority, you can make matters worse and intensify the jeopardy of being in pain. What does this mean? You will most likely spend much more money trying to fix a bigger problem. Don’t wait for the problem to get big, instead, save yourself the harm and undertake the problem. Dr. Kezian is an emergency dentist who can help you with your dental related problems. Call an emergency dentistry on time and keep things simple.

Mentioned below are some treatments performed by an emergency dentist.

Root Canal Pain:

·         A tooth’s nerve can develop into an infection due to a deep cavity, a very large filling, a crack within the tooth, or a traumatic injury.

·         If you feel a throbbing, pulsating kind of pain coming from your tooth, then that is one of the general signs that your tooth might need a root canal. Along with severe pain you can also experience a lingering sensitivity when coming in contact with hot or cold temperatures. You can have a pimple or swelling near the gums and sometimes your tooth can become discolored. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is vital to contact your dentist.
·         During a root canal, the nerve and the pulp chamber within the nerve of the tooth are taken out and cleaned out to stop decay from growing further. After a tooth has already emerged from the gums, the nerves only purpose is for sensation. So, the absence of the nerve will not be harmful to you in any way. On the opposing side, it will save you from pain.

Cavities:

  • Certain types of bacteria can attach to your enamel and start to multiply. These bacteria, along with the combination of plaque on your teeth and sugars from what you eat, can turn into a cavity.
  • It is important to keep up with and maintain your dental check-ups because cavities don’t always cause pain. Sometimes the pain kicks in when the cavity is very large and starts affecting the nerve of the tooth. Don’t let it get to that stage; be preventative and see your dentist routinely.

Extractions:

·         A dentist should be very skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to extractions. Extractions can be done when tooth decay has harmed so much tooth structure that the tooth can not be refurbished. One other cause can be a fractured tooth that can not be saved. Another reason can be impacted wisdom teeth, or wisdom teeth that are challenging. In addition, extractions can be done for orthodontic reasons as well. Whatever the reason though, an extraction should always be the last alternative if you have a conservative dentist like Dr. Kezian.

·         After a comprehensive extraction, your dentist and the staff should give you accurate post operative instructions and guidance to make sure you are comfortable when you go home.

If you have any emergencies, call Dr. Kezian and together you alleviate your dental problems.
