We are Laser Certified!

One of the latest advances in dentistry is the use of laser technology. Lasers can't replace traditional instruments for some procedures, but give us one more tool to make dental treatment more comfortable for our patients.

We are proud that Drs. Bloom and Wygodski are certified on the Waterlase hard and soft tissue dental laser.

The Waterlase works by energizing water molecules to do the cutting while at the same time numbing the tooth. One of the most exciting uses is to prepare teeth for fillings, sometimes without any shots and certainly with less noise than the traditional handpiece.

Lasers are used to treat gum disease by killing bacteria, and can help patients avoid surgery. When surgery is unavoidable, lasers are so precise in dental surgery that there isn't nearly as much swelling around tissue, far less of a need for sutures and, most importantly, much less pain afterwards.

We have used lasers to immediately get rid of the pain of cold sores and canker sores, and help them heal in just a few days. Lasers are being used in root canal treatments to shorten the time you spend in the chair.

As another laser dentist remarked, "The Waterlase is the most profound enhancement in dental technology in decades and is paving the way for the next generation of better, more comfortable dentistry. Not since the electric drill was introduced in 1875 and Novocaine was invented in 1905, has there been a more important development in dentistry."

We have another diagnostic laser called the Diagnodent that uses light energy to find decay before it is detectable with a probe or even x-rays. Because we can now find and treat cavities when they are smaller, this dramatically decreases the need for shots and more extensive (and expensive) treatments like root canals and crowns.

The World Clinical Laser Institute (where Drs. Bloom and Wygodski have received training), estimates that only 5 % of dentists are using lasers but the numbers are growing. We are one of only a few offices in Florida certified to use the Waterlase laser. For more info log onto www.laserdentistry.com

FDA Approved Headaches and Jaw Pain Treatment

In some cases, headaches and migraines are caused by tension from clenching or grinding in your sleep. When this happens, wearing a device at night called an NTI appliance takes the pressure off your jaw and eliminates or reduces the headaches or migraines.

This is the first FDA approved non-drug treatment of migraines. The NTI-tss is a small, virtually invisible mouthpiece that covers only your upper front teeth while you sleep. This appliance may be indicated for daytime wear also.

If you suffer from chronic headaches or wake with sore jaw muscles, be sure to ask us about the NTI - we have had our patients call it nothing short of miraculous.

To find out more about preventing headaches go to www.headacheprevention.com

We would be happy to discuss your individual concerns and needs to determine if the NTI or other type of mouthguard we provide is best for treating your condition - please call to set up a consultation appointment with Dr. Bloom - please bring with you any current mouthguards you own.
