Dental care has come a long way in recent years. Thanks to modern technology, it’s now easier than ever to spot problems early, treat them comfortably, and help patients feel more confident in their care. At Drs. Brown, Gettings, & Gade in West Chester, OH, we use advanced tools to improve patients’ experiences and protect their long-term oral health.
Does something feel off with a tooth lately? Maybe it stings when you sip something cold, or there’s a spot that feels tender every time you chew. These changes might not seem like much, but they can be signs that your tooth needs care.
Winter is here, and while you might be layering up to stay warm, don’t forget that your teeth need extra care too. Cold weather can bring unexpected challenges to your oral health, from sensitive teeth to dry mouth. If you’ve noticed your teeth feeling more sensitive or your lips getting chapped, you’re not alone—these are common winter woes that we’re here to help you tackle.
Modern dental technology continues to transform patient care, making it easier than ever to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. At Drs. Brown, Gettings, & Gade in West Chester, OH, we are proud to offer cutting-edge solutions that benefit our patients, including our in-house SprintRay 3D printer. This advanced technology allows us to provide custom dental solutions faster and with greater precision, whether you need a crown, bridge, or clear aligners.
It’s that time of year again! Spooky creatures and creepy crawlies are around every corner, but we think the scariest thing is the CANDY. All kinds of candy: soft, hard, crunchy, chewy, gummy, sour, sweet, and sticky! Any candy can take a toll on your teeth if you’re not careful. Now, we know better than to tell our patients not to take their kids trick or treating, and we won’t tell parents not to sample any of the loot, but we would like everyone to consider taking the following precautions:
Do you wake up with headaches or jaw pain? What about neck and shoulder pain? Do you have sore teeth, or do they feel loose in the morning? These are common symptoms of bruxism, which is the clinical term for excessive teeth grinding and jaw clenching. Bruxism mostly happens during sleep, and the aftereffects can cause undue wear on your teeth and alter your bite. Continue reading to learn more.
Dental insurance is a great help to many people, without a doubt. However, there seems to be a misconception that patients are not allowed to see dentists outside their dental insurance plan’s network. That is simply untrue. Choosing an out-of-network dentist is perfectly acceptable and may also be beneficial. Watch this informative video in which Dr. Lee Brown explains why: When it Comes to Your Health, We Never Cut Corners.
Dr. Brown and his team believe that the best and only way to treat patients is by taking a total-body approach to dental care. The connection between the body and oral health is undeniable, and in his latest video (which you can watch here), Dr. Brown explains exactly what that means. Keep reading for more insights into this essential connection.
At Brown & Gettings, DDS, we often share videos and information about restoring and improving your oral health. In addition to dental treatments, the best way to ensure that you have excellent oral health is to visit our office for routine hygiene examinations and cleanings. Since we are still at the beginning of the year, now is a perfect time to think about when your last dental cleaning appointment was. If it has been longer than six months, then you are definitely due.
We hope that you have had a wonderful start to 2024. Now that we are fully into the start of the new year, we would love for our patients to evaluate the state of their oral health. Are there improvements that you would love to see with the function and appearance of your teeth and smile?
