🪥 **What’s That Wednesday?!** 🪥
**Today’s Topic: Dental Cleanings**
(aka: *“Why do I need to come in every 6 months?”*)

You brush. You floss (most of the time 😅). So why do we still want to see you twice a year?

Here’s the deal:
Even with great home care, plaque (that sticky stuff made of bacteria) can harden into **tartar** — and once it does, your toothbrush can’t touch it. That’s where we come in!

✨ **A dental cleaning includes:**
✅ Removing plaque & tartar
✅ Polishing your teeth for that squeaky-clean feeling
✅ Checking your gums to catch early signs of problems
✅ Giving your smile a little extra love 💙

And no — it doesn’t hurt. In fact, most people leave feeling *super* fresh and wondering why they waited so long. 😁

So if it’s been a while since your last cleaning, consider this your sign to call us! 📞

“What's That? Wednesday" – Scaling & Root Planing

🧽 What’s Scaling and Root Planing?

If your gums are inflamed or bleeding, this deep-cleaning treatment helps! Our skilled dental hygienists perfom this procedure for you!
Scaling removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. Root planing smooths the roots so gums can reattach and heal. This treament is usually done under local anesthesia and is in conjunction with treatments for periodontal or gum disease.

It’s like a spa day for your gums—restoring health and treating gum disease. 🧖‍♀️🦷

📅 "What's That? Wednesday" – Dental Sealants

🛡️ What’s a Sealant?

Sealants are like raincoats for your teeth!
They’re thin, protective coatings we paint onto the grooves of your back teeth (molars) to keep out food and bacteria that cause cavities. In our area, there is a great program through the Health Department that provide these to children in our schools! Quick, painless, and super effective.

📅 "What's That? Wednesday"- Dental Fillings

🦷 What’s a Filling?

Got a cavity? A filling is how we fix it!
When a tooth gets a small hole from decay, we clean out the damaged part and “fill” it with a safe material—like tooth-colored resin or silver amalgam—to seal it up and stop the cavity from growing. At our office, we use composite resin, a tooth colored material to fill your teeth!

Think of it like patching a pothole in the road—only way smaller and way more important for your smile! 😁

What’s that Wednesday:
🦷 What’s a Dental Implant? Let’s Make It Simple! 🌱

Missing a tooth and wondering what your options are? Let us introduce you to the superhero of tooth replacements: the dental implant! 💪

A dental implant is like a fake tooth root made of titanium (super strong and safe!). It’s placed into your jawbone where your natural tooth used to be, usually done by an Oral Surgeon or Periodontist. Once it heals, we attach a crown (the visible part of the tooth) on top—and voilà! You’ve got a tooth that looks, feels, and works just like the real thing. 😄

Here’s why people love implants:

✅ They don’t slip or move like dentures
✅ You can eat, talk, and smile with confidence
✅ They help keep your jawbone healthy
✅ They’re built to last for years—sometimes even a lifetime!
If you’re missing a tooth (or several), dental implants might be the perfect solution. Call us today to see if you’re a good candidate—we’re here to help you smile brighter! 😁📞

"What's that" Wednesday with Cohen Family Dentistry! 🦷

Let's talk about bridges, and not the kind you drive on. 🌉

A bridge is a very common way to replace 1 or several missing teeth. There are two, or sometimes more, "abutment" crowns. These abutment crowns stabilize the bridge. The missing tooth or teeth are replaced by a "pontic" crown between the two abutments.

"What's that" Wednesday with Cohen Family Dentistry!

Mesial, distal, lingual, oh my!

Dental "lingo" is much simpler than it sounds. Mesial, distal, lingual, facial, buccal, occlusal, and incisal are all just terms to describe where on the tooth we are talking about.

"What's that" Wednesday with Cohen Family Dentistry! 🦷

A partial is a prosthetic to replace one or more missing teeth. This prosthesis is removable by the patient and can come in a few different materials. Some partials are metal, cast resin, and some can be fully acrylic, depending on each patient's specific need.

"What's that" Wednesday with Cohen Family Dentistry! 🦷

👑 A crown is essentially a tooth shaped cap that is permanently cemented over a natural tooth or implant to restore it's shape, size, strength, and appearance.

"Why do I need a crown?"

There are several reasons you may need a crown
1. Decay is beyond the point of restoring a tooth with a filling
2. A tooth could be cracked, broken, or fractured.
3. A tooth has had a root canal.
3. Cemented onto an implant to replace a missing tooth.
