Busy Lifestyle? With CEREC that’s Not a Problem

March 23, 2012

People avoid the dentist for a variety of reasons. In some cases, it’s because of dental anxiety. In others, it’s because a condition that makes sitting in dental chairs for long periods uncomfortable. But for still others, the reason has more to do with a busy lifestyle than anything else.

Despite how busy you may be, though, your smile is important. And one way Dr. Carmen is making life easier for busy patients is with CEREC same-day crowns. With CEREC, it’s possible for Dr. Carmen to design, mill, and place a restoration in a single visit.

Traditional crowns, on the other hand, can take two, sometimes three visits. First, the doctor has to prep your smile and place a temporary crown. Then, you have to come back to have your new crown placed.

But what if something happens to your temporary crown in the meantime? Let’s say it cracks, or it falls apart. That can mean coming back in for an unscheduled visit.

CEREC makes it possible to do everything we need in one appointment with us.

If you’re a busy professional who’s been putting off treatment, call our Norman dental office to schedule a visit with Dr. Carmen. We serve patients from The University of Oklahoma, Norman, Moore, Central Oklahoma, and beyond.

Let Dr. Carmen simplify your life with CEREC same-day crowns!

Christmas is a time for presents, for sharing of yourself with loved ones, and for indulging in your favorite holiday treats.

It’s important, of course, not to indulge too much over the holidays, but what are celebrations for if not for indulging just a little?

So while Dr. Carmen and all the rest of us at Dr. Carmen’s Norman dental office hope that you’ll remember to brush and floss just like you always do, what’s more important to us is that our patients from Norman, the University of Oklahoma, Moore, Central Oklahoma, and surrounding areas enjoy all that Christmas and the New Year have to offer.

And if you’d like to go ahead and get a jump on your first visit for next year, we’d be happy to go ahead and set up your next appointment with Dr. Carmen. Just a quick call is all it takes.

You Can Make Your Child’s Halloween Cavity-Free with Xylitol Candy

October 21, 2011

Halloween’s just a little over a week away now, and if you have little ones, you know how much they’re looking forward to the big day. You, on the other hand, just wish there was a way you could get them through the night without ruining their teeth.

Well, there is.

With xylitol candy, you can help your child stay cavity-free without dampening their trick-or-treat spirit.

The Benefits of Xylitol

Xylitol comes from the fibers of fruits and vegetables. It’s low in calories, low in carbohydrates, and has been used as for years as a sweetener, especially in sweets for diabetics. But its biggest benefit is in the way it interacts with teeth.

Unlike traditional sugar, which gives bacteria energy to feed on by breaking down, xylitol doesn’t break down. It also promotes a healthy pH level in the mouth and makes it more difficult for bacteria to stick to teeth, meaning that it actually protects smiles from cavities.

But where can you find xylitol candy?

Some online options include xlear.com, zappgum.com, and Amazon, but with a little research you may be able to find just what you’re looking for at your nearest health foods store.

Want to know more about xylitol candy, or how you can help your child have a cavity-free Halloween? Visit xylitol.org or give Dr. Carmen’s Norman office a call today. We serve patients from the University of Oklahoma, Moore, Central Oklahoma, and beyond.
