Brookline Dental Center would like to help Boston area residents improve their oral healthcare by starting them on a regular routine of bi-yearly dental exams.  Since many people put off going to the dentist because of improper health coverage, Brookline Dental Center is hoping that a savings of nearly 60% off regularly scheduled examination prices encourages Boston area residents to make the health of their teeth and gums more of a priority.

According to Dr Rasool of Brookline Dental Center, one very important reason to see the dentist on a regular basis is because many tooth and dental problems do not manifest themselves until it is too late to fix them. “If a tooth suddenly becomes very sore, after not visiting a dentist for months or years, chances are the tooth has decayed and will have to be removed or drilled,” explains Dr Rasool, “Now a visit to the dentist becomes very expensive when this could have been prevented with twice a year check-ups that would have cost less than the procedure to resolve the problem.”

Boston residents who maintain regular visits to their dentist have dramatically increased odds of detecting early signs of cavities, gum disease, tooth decay and oral cancer.  Early detection saves money and lives.  If untreated, gum disease and oral cancer can have extremely serious health consequences.

The Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk is the largest participatory event benefiting the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. It is the only event, other than the Boston Marathon® itself, sanctioned to travel along the famed 26.2-mile route from Hopkinton, Mass., to Boston. Since its inauguration in 1989, the Walk has raised more than $60 million for research and care to support patients with all forms of cancer. In 2009, the event drew more than 7,700 walkers hailing from 34 states and 5 countries.

The Jimmy Fund Walk offers 4 routes for participants to choose from ranging from 3 to 26.2 miles.  For those who cannot walk, there is even a virtual walker route for those who just want to concentrate on fund raising.

Brookline Dental Center will be walking in this year’s Jimmy Fund Walk and we encourage Boston area residents to help support this worthy cause.  By visiting Brookline Dental Center for a routine hygiene appointment, you can do your part to help raise funds for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

According to Dr Rasool of Brookline Dental Center, the most popular cosmetic dentistry services being requested today are teeth whitening procedures. “One of the first things we notice about someone is their smile.  If someone’s teeth are stained or discolored, they don’t feel comfortable smiling.  Whitening someone’s teeth just by just a few shades can really do a lot to boost their confidence.”

Zoom!, as seen on ABC’s Extreme Makeover, is one of the best cosmetic teeth whitening procedures available.  Zoom! can whiten a patient’s teeth by several shades in just 45 minutes with it’s innovative teeth bleaching system.  The Zoom! procedure is simple.  A proprietary teeth whitening gel is applied to the teeth and is activated by the Zoom! light which works with the gel to penetrate teeth, breaking up stains and discoloration.  The gel is applied for 3 sessions.

If you would like to inquire more about the teeth whitening procedures at Brookline Dental Center call 617-734-2222 for more information.  This offer expires September 15, 2010.

*Patients should mention the special Zoom! offer to receive the treatment for $275.

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.

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.
