The Subject of Invisalign

As adults most of us wish that we had straighter teeth.  In today’s world orthodontics has advanced to the point where now we can!  Blackman and Bliss DDS has an orthodontist onsight at the practice for just such procedures.  Invisalign is probably the answer if you are an adult wishing to have a more attractive smile.  With invisalign there are clear custom made aligners that are used to gradually correct your smile.

Now a word about aligners.  These are not your childhood braces.  These can be easily removed for eating, brushing, or any special occasion where they would not be appropriate.  The days of metal brackets and wires are gone forever.  About every two weeks you will replace the aligners and before you know it the job will be done.

The Gum Disease Gingivitis

Gingivitis is one of those strange terms that most people have heard of, but not everyone knows exactly what it means to your dental health.  It is very serious, but because it is generally painless people ignore it unlike a toothache.  As a matter of fact, it often gets neglected until it is too late.  Researchers have shown a direct link of gum disease to diabetes and heart disease.  Now do we have your attention?

What should you look for?  If your gums bleed even in the slightest when you brush or floss get to a dentist immediately.  If you notice a redness or swelling in your gums do not hesitate.  Gingivitis can be reversed through frequent brushing, daily flossing, and regular cleanings by a professional.  The alternative to ignoring gingivitis is eventual loss of your teeth and oral surgery.

You and your family deserve the best oral health care in Chicagoland.  If you live in the Carol Stream area you cannot do better than the full service dental practice of Blackman and Bliss DDS.  They are located at 400 North Gary Avenue.  Call them today at (630) 260-0333.  Gum disease…who needs it?!
