Brookline Dental Center serving the Boston, Newton, Chestnut Hill and Brighton surrounding cities, announces a 10% senior citizen discount.

Brookline Dental Center offers general, cosmetic and restorative dental services performed by Harvard trained dentists.  The 10% senior citizen discount will be welcomed towards any of their services.

As the cost of dental care and dental insurance for seniors continues to rise, many senior citizens struggle to get affordable dental care.  According to Dr. Rasool of Brookline Dental Center, senior citizens are at the greatest risk of developing life threatening dental problems.  “Recent studies have linked certain dental problems like periodontal disease to strokes, diabetes, respiratory disease, and heart disease,” says Dr. Rasool.  “Plus, despite being preventable, periodontal disease and tooth decay are the leading causes of tooth loss in seniors.”

Dental care for senior citizens at Brookline Dental Center includes proper oral hygiene and in some cases may include restorative dentistry procedures to replace missing teeth. Dr. Rasool hopes that any seniors who have been neglecting their oral health will take advantage of this opportunity to mend any existing conditions.

The American Dental Association estimates that 10-15% of Americans grind their teeth.

Bruxism is the medical term for grinding, gnashing or clenching teeth.  Many individuals are unaware that they grind their teeth, until they begin to experience painful side effects.  Symptoms of bruxism can include facial pain, earaches, migraines, jaw disorders, headaches and damaged teeth.

Brookline Dental Center finds that a recent rise in patient complaints associated with bruxism is most likely due in part to the current economical downturn.  Stress is one of the leading causes of teeth grinding.  According to Dr. Rasool of Brookline Dental Center, “Unaware patients can be grinding their teeth for 40 minutes to a full hour at night.  This can leave them with serious pain and discomfort in the morning the next day.”

A night guard is the most common treatment for this disorder. The guard not only prevents further wear of the enamel but also in some cases may be instrumental in reversing the disorder by training the patient to stop grinding.  The guard is custom fitted for the patient’s unique bite.  Dr. Rasool also notes that some insurance plans to allow for custom fitted night guards, so consumers are advised to check with their insurance. 

Boston residents considering a night guard should call Brookline Dental Center at 617-734-2222 immediately.  For the month of December patients can save as much as 40% off a custom fitted guard.

This offer expires December 2009.
