Daily Oral Hygiene: Put Your Heart Into It

Family dentistry, Gum disease, Orthodontics

Top Casper Family Dentists Attention dental patients: brushing twice daily may help reduce your risk of heart disease. Scientists, dentists, and cardiologists have known for many years that there is a link between inflammation in the mouth (gum disease) and heart problems, However, a recent study evaluated oral health habits and heart disease risk. Science Daily reported on the study which was published in the British Medical Journal.

I quote from the Science Daily article:

“The authors, led by Professor Richard Watt from University College London, analyzed data from over 11,000 adults who took part in a Scottish Health Survey. The research team analyzed data about lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, physical activity, and oral health routines.”

“Once the data was adjusted for established cardio risk factors, the researchers found that participants who reported less frequent toothbrushing had a 70 percent extra risk of heart disease compared to individuals who brushed their teeth twice a day.”

The Scottish survey is one of many that certifies the link between oral health and overall energy. Simply put: you aren’t healthy unless your gums and teeth are healthy.

It doesn’t matter if you are a long-distance runner with a pulse of fifteen beats a minute and a blood pressure of 100 over 60. It doesn’t matter if you are a vegan who has eaten a nutritionally balanced, low-fat diet for the past five years. If you have inflamed gums and decay, you are at risk for harmful dilemmas in other areas of the body.

The phone number for Priority Dental is 307-333-6285. If you have concerns about your oral health, I invite you to schedule an examination today.

Perhaps your teeth and gums are healthy but you wish your smile was more attractive. We can help you there also with a cosmetic dental smile makeover. Porcelain veneers, crowns, inlays/onlays, and orthodontia are all available to solve any cosmetic issues you wish to have corrected.

If you have a small child who has not yet visited a dentist, it is vital to schedule an exam today. My convenience team and I will help keep your child’s smile beautiful for life.

Call us at 307-333-6285 for more information.

The Vital Importance of Caring for Your Gums in Wyoming

The Vital Importance of Caring for Your Gums in Wyoming

When it comes to maintaining oral health, many people focus primarily on their teeth.

However, the significance of gum care should never be overlooked. Healthy gums play a crucial role in overall oral well-being and are essential for preserving the stability and longevity of your teeth.

Let’s look at a few reasons why it’s important to take care of your gums…

The health of your gums is closely linked to your overall well-being. Research has established a connection between gum disease and several systemic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory issues, and complications during pregnancy. By prioritizing gum care with Priority Dental, you can reduce the risk of these health problems and maintain your overall physical well-being.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a prevalent oral condition that affects the tissues surrounding the teeth. It starts with gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease characterized by gum recession, bone loss, and potential tooth loss. By practicing good oral hygiene, which includes regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups at Priority Dental, you can prevent gum disease and its associated complications.

Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. When gum health deteriorates, the supporting tissues and bone structure around the teeth weaken, compromising their stability. By taking care of your gums, you can maintain the integrity of the supporting structures and preserve your natural teeth for a lifetime. This not only contributes to better oral function but also enhances your appearance and self-confidence.

Unhealthy gums can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms. As gum disease progresses, you may experience symptoms such as bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum sensitivity, and gum recession. These symptoms can lead to pain, discomfort, and difficulty in eating, speaking, and enjoying daily activities. By maintaining good gum health, you can prevent these unpleasant symptoms and ensure a pain-free oral condition.

Your gums play a significant role in the aesthetics of your smile. Healthy gums provide a frame for your teeth, and their proper positioning and color contribute to an attractive smile. In contrast, gum disease can cause gum recession, making the teeth appear longer and creating an uneven gumline. By caring for your gums, you can achieve a harmonious balance between your gums and teeth, enhancing the overall beauty of your smile.

Confidence is essential for personal and professional success, and your oral health plays a significant role in your self-assurance. Unhealthy gums can lead to issues such as bad breath and an unattractive smile, which can negatively impact your confidence in social and professional interactions. By investing in gum care with Priority Dental, you can maintain fresh breath, a vibrant smile, and the confidence to engage fully in every aspect of your life.

Taking care of your gums is not just an afterthought; it is a vital aspect of maintaining optimal oral health.

Healthy gums contribute to overall well-being, help prevent gum disease, preserve natural teeth, and enhance aesthetics. By practicing good oral hygiene, attending regular dental check-ups at Priority Dental, and being mindful of gum health, you can enjoy a beautiful smile, avoid painful complications, and promote your long-term oral and overall health.

Remember, caring for your gums is an investment in your well-being and a key component of a confident and fulfilling life.

What’s The Latest With Veneers?

Cosmetic Dentistry, Emergency dental care, Porcelain veneers

Casper Prepless Veneers One of the developments in cosmetic dentistry is prepless veneers. Though thousands of smile restoration patients who have received conventional veneers are happy with the results, some dental patients have delayed this procedure because they do not want to lose healthy tooth structure.

Veneers Have Advanced

Prepless veneers are a less invasive procedure for transforming smiles. New prepless veneers at Priority Dental are exceptionally thin shells that adhere to the face of teeth and require no removal of tooth enamel. Most prepless veneers are about the thickness of two pieces of paper. Because the color is built into the veneers (instead of being applied after fabrication), they look like your natural teeth—only better!

The Skilled Lab Technicians Behind the Scenes

Our experienced ceramists are expert artists. They create each custom veneer with the perfect shape, color, and thickness for your new smile. Another great feature of the Priority Dental prepless veneers application procedure is that it requires no anesthesia or drilling.

If you are uncomfortable with misaligned, discolored, or broken teeth, prepless veneers may be a smile restoration solution that you can feel good about. Call Priority Dental to learn more about prepless veneers. It may be your answer for your smile!

Celebrating The Past And Looking To The Future At Priority Dental

It has now been over 150 years since the first dental license was issued to Sir John Tomes. Wyoming dental patients should be grateful for the advances made in dentistry during the past century and a half.

There was a time when Casper blacksmiths and wig makers would also extract teeth with forceps to make a little extra money. Anyone could call themselves a dentist. Often these untrained people broke the jaws of the person they were trying to help. Ouch!

At Priority Dental, we celebrate with the Casper dental community and marvel at the many advances made in the history of dentistry, particularly cosmetic dentistry.

One of the modern treatments that has helped countless Casper patients is invisible braces. This non-visible orthodontic therapy is custom-made for each patient. They are transparent and removable and will help you achieve your desired smile in about 3 to 18 months.

I am Doctor Ben Emery. My training didn’t end when I graduated from dental school and opened my practice in Casper. As a cutting-edge dentist, I continually seek training so I can expertly perform the latest procedures. In addition, our practice uses the most advanced dental materials available.

If you are one of the many Casper residents who has dreamed of an aesthetic improvement to your smile, we invite you to make an appointment with Priority Dental to discuss a smile makeover. Complete smile transformations are performed as quickly and professionally as possible – sometimes in just one visit!

One of our most sought-after treatments at Priority Dental is cosmetic dentistry and many Casper patients are enjoying a brighter smile because of cosmetic dentistry.

Not Sure What Your Dental Issue Is? You May Have Gingivitis

Family dentistry, Gum disease, Teeth cleaning

Affordable Casper Dentistry Every person’s mouth provides a cozy home for over 600 types of bacteria. If you are enthusiastic about oral hygiene and have healthy gums, these microbes usually don’t affect your health. However, if you have gum disease, bacteria can enter your bloodstream through your gums and cause problems.

The first sign of gingivitis is swollen, sore gums.

Gingivitis is the term for Stage 1 gum disease. At Priority Dental, we routinely discover gingivitis in patients who are not even aware that they have the condition.

It is important for people to understand that it is not normal for gums to bleed when they are brushed or flossed. Sore, swollen, or bleeding gums are a tip-off that something is out of order.

If you haven’t had an oral examination in a while and live in the Casper area, call Priority Dental at 307-333-6285.

Doctor Emery will perform an extensive examination of your teeth and gums and take time to discuss the results and recommendations with you.

Priority Dental is a full-service dental practice at 1224 E. 2nd St. in Casper. We provide comprehensive general and cosmetic dentistry for patients who live in Casper and the nearby communities of Douglas, Mills, and Riverton.

During your dental consultation, we can explore any cosmetic or restorative services in which you are interested. Some of the procedures that we use to achieve beautiful smiles are porcelain veneers, orthodontics, dental implants, and tooth bleaching.

If you haven’t had your teeth cleaned in a while, we invite you to schedule an extensive cleaning. Our hygienists are skilled professionals who complete the ultimate in dental deep cleanings.

Oral health and overall health go hand in hand. Schedule a dental consultation today by calling 307-333-6285.

Avoid Bone Deterioration Following Extraction

Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental crowns, Dental implants

Casper Jaw Bone Deterioration Hello friends of Priority Dental! In today’s post, we will talk about jaw bone health.

Those tooth roots are important!

To remain strong and vital, your jawbone needs to be constantly stimulated by the pressure of chewing, biting, and talking. Each tooth has a root structure the extends into the surrounding bone material. As each tooth absorbs the forces of everyday mouth function, it stimulates blood flow in the bone surrounding the root.

Have you had a tooth extracted?

In some cases, tooth extraction is the only possible treatment for men and women with tooth damage beyond repair. However, we make every effort to retain the root structure. When a tooth is extracted, the jaw bone that surrounds the previous root structure begins to recede.

A dental implant replaces both the root and the crown of an extracted tooth

Fortunately, tooth implants provide a new, artificial root that helps to keep the surrounding bone healthy and strong. A dental implant is comprised of a tough titanium post which replaces the original root and eventually integrates into the surrounding bone.

After the implant has been placed and the surrounding bone has healed and integrated with the implant, a post is placed into the implant. The new artificial tooth, or crown, is then attached to the post. Implant restoration is a safe and effective treatment for tooth loss.

Are dental implants a good option for you?

For more details about dental implants, call Doctor Ben Emery at 307-333-6285. The convenience team at Priority Dental provides world-class dental treatment for patients in Casper and the surrounding areas.
