Get Your Teeth In Shape, Boston!

Regular exercise is essential to good health. When you’re physically fit then you look better, and more important, you feel better! And as we remind our patients here at Future of Dentistry, that goes for keeping your teeth in good shape, too!

If your eyes are the window to your soul, then your mouth may well be the window to your overall health. Research has shown there is a clear link between your dental health and your general health. It is safe to say that good dental health is necessary to your physical well-being throughout your life.

Here’s just one example: bacteria that starts in the mouth can cause infection in other parts of the body, especially if your immune system has been weakened by illness.

When you take good care of your teeth, you’re doing more for your well-being than you may ever have realized. So brush and floss every day, without fail, and see us for regular cleanings and checkups.

At Future of Dentistry we want you take keep yourself in shape with plenty of exercise. But never underestimate the importance of good dental health! Our patients come from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley for general and family dentistry and restorative dentistry. Schedule an appointment with us today!

gum disease treatment Wakefield

Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss, but it’s a treatable condition at Future of Dentistry. Keeping your gums healthy is essential for your overall health, but if you need yet another reason to keep them healthy, we’ve got a doozy.

Scientists have found a connection between a bacteria that causes periodontitis (advanced gum disease) and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Porphyomonas gingivalis is a bacteria that contributes to chronic periodontitis. The bacteria was discovered in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.

The researchers concluded:

Chronic periodontitis and infection with Porphyomonas gingivalis have been identified as significant risk factors for developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

For the most part, gum disease is preventable. The best thing you can do to prevent it is brush and floss twice a day, and see us for regular cleanings and checkups.

At Future of Dentistry we treat gum disease, and offer complete general and family dentistry services. Call to schedule your next checkup today!

Why It’s Crucial To Replace Missing Back Teeth

by Leave a Comment

dental implants Wakefield

Sometimes people who lose a molar wonder whether it’s worth replacing it. After all, it doesn’t show when you smile and there are other teeth to take over the chewing. Why not leave it as-is, and save some money? Actually, there are some very good reasons to replace a back tooth with a dental implant from Future of Dentistry.

It’s harder to eat

Your molars play an important role: they’re the teeth that grind, crush, and mash food before you swallow it. Yes, there are other molars to chew with. But when one is missing, it’s a lot harder to eat. This is especially true with foods that are tough or crunchy, like meats, raw fruit, and raw vegetables.

Adjacent teeth may start shifting

When there’s a gap in the jaw, the teeth on either side tend to move or rotate into that space. This can affect your bite. When teeth are gone, you become more vulnerable to gum disease, decay, or TMJ pain.

Underlying bone eventually pulls back

Without the tooth root, the jawbone begins to recede. This changes the dimensions of the face, giving it a sunken appearance. The vertical shortening proceeds and becomes more pronounced as you get older.

A dental implant is a titanium post that is inserted into the jaw, where it acts as a replacement tooth root. An artificial tooth goes on top of the post. Several implants can support dentures.

If you are missing one or more of your teeth, a dental implant from Future of Dentistry may be just the solution you’ve been hoping for. Implants are among our restorative dentistry procedures. To find out whether they are right for you, please give us a call to schedule an appointment.

Hours & Updates on COVID-19

by Leave a Comment

As of today, March 16, 2020, we are rescheduling all non-emergency appointments until after April 6, 2020. This decision is made with careful consideration, in light of recent recommendations made by the Massachusetts Dental Society, along with State and Federal Agencies, and out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our patients.

We will remain available as needed for dental emergency management and will have staff available to respond to your communications. Please call our office if you have an urgent dental matter. For non-emergencies, we recommend you text us or email us through our website at www.FutureOfDentistry.com.

By limiting our contact, we are doing our part to “Flatten the Curve.” Our decision to close is in part to support the frontline healthcare personnel who are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and to help preserve limited personal protection equipment for those treating patients in a more emergent environment.

This situation is evolving. We will continue to review our protocols as information is released and will provide updates as needed. We appreciate your cooperation during these times.

This is an unprecedented time. We wish you and your family continued health and safety. When we work together, we succeed together!
