Dentist Sandy Springs: Creating a Positive Self-Image

Most women and girls, including myself, spend far too much time and energy worrying about our physical appearances when we have so much more to offer the world.  And very often it’s aspects of our body that as much as we try, there’s just not much we can do about it.  And the media and Hollywood are constantly throwing gas on the fire.

Most of these images are unrealistic and often unhealthy standards take their toll on women and their daughters.  In fact, did you know that:

  • ·        In the U.S. 80% of women are dissatisfied with their appearance.
  • ·        Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful.
  • ·        Only 11% of girls globally are comfortable using the word beautiful to describe themselves.
  • ·        54% of women around the world agree that when it comes to how they look, they are their own worst beauty critic.
  • ·        More than 50% of women say they would consider having plastic surgery.[1]

But one aspect of our looks that you can change without unrealistic expectations is our smile.   Our smile is the first impression we make whenever we meet someone.  A smile makeover can be achieved by prosthodontist in ways that couldn’t be imagined years ago.  The simple use of veneers or teeth whitening can make all the difference in the world in our appearances.  Those who have dentures and receding jaw lines can be modified by implants.

My goal to create a positive self-image; what we like to call ‘the right smile for your life style’.  If we can be of assistance or you have a question please do not hesitate to contact our office and make an appointment for a free consult.

Dentist Dunwoody: Don’t Take Chances with Chipped Teeth

In the movies, a simple pratfall usually gets a big laugh, and a resulting chipped tooth can have the audience rolling in the aisles. But in real life, a chipped tooth due to trauma is no laughing matter. Besides possible pain and damage, a chipped tooth can cause a lot of embarrassment.

If you have a chipped tooth, you’re not alone! In fact, chipped teeth are the most common dental injury today. While a chipped tooth can range in terms of size and damage, any type of dental trauma deserves immediate attention. Although a small chip will most likely not cause pain, you should contact a dentist to make sure there is no other damage to the tooth’s structure. A dentist will be able to rule out accompanying cracks or internal dental problems when examining your chipped tooth.

More significant damage should definitely not be ignored! A broken tooth may result in an exposed nerve, which can cause a great deal of pain. A completely knocked-out tooth can actually be saved if you act quickly. Regardless of your dental emergency, contact your dentist right away.

If we can be of service, please do not hesitate to contact our office.  Serving Metro Atlanta, including East Cobb, Buckhead, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Dunwoody, Vinings and Smyrna.
