I confirm appointments and tell all of you the importance of coming to clean and check your teeth on a regular basis.
It had been since last October that I personally had Tray our hygienist clean and check my teeth.
I am an avid flosser and brusher. I’m OCD about it. I floss every time I eat anything. I like eating about every two hours as I claim to be a health fanatic.
Today there was an opening and I had my dental cleaning.
I do have beautiful teeth, thanks to Dr. Korenman and I feel that I take excellent care of them.
But I didn’t get my dental work cleaned and checked for a while.
Thank God I did it today as right at the gum line on two of my beautiful teeth, Tray and Dr. Korenman confirmed I had the beginning of decay.
Good old stress got the better of my teeth. Maybe if I had done my cleaning timely it could have been prevented.
Thanks to Tray, who by the way is an excellent hygienist, is the best who has ever cleaned my teeth. He’s very kind, gentle and knowledgeable about teeth. I am so grateful for him to be part of our team.
Thanks Tray for your service and for keeping me healthy! Learn more about Tray here.

During the month of April, 2019, new patients at Loveable Smiles in Richardson will receive a FREE Oral Cancer Screening. ($65 value)
Already a patient? Bring in someone new and your exam will also be free!
Every hour, of every day one American dies of oral cancer.
It is assumed that Oral Cancer is mainly a disease of older people, contracted after a lifetime of smoking and drinking.
But things are changing and Dr. Korenman is seeing an increase in Oral Cancer in patients of all ages and lifestyles.
Don’t feel immune because you don’t smoke or drink.
Dentists are often the first line of defense against oral cancer, through the process of early discovery. They help find cancer at its earliest stage, when the chances for successful treatment are highest.
An Oral Cancer Screening takes less than 15 minutes and should be a part of everyone’s annual health appointments.
Dr. Korenman uses the ViziLite Plus, which is a 5-minute test that uses fluorescent light to help dentists spot abnormal changes in the mucous membranes that line the inside of the mouth an
d throat.
Additionally, Dr. Korenman will go over the patient’s medical history, check for any discolorations (red spots, white spots, ulcers etc) and/or abnormal lumps around the oral tissues (cheeks, hard palate, tongue, floor of the mouth, back of throat etc), face and neck.
We simply use a 2×2 gauze, mirror and a special light to inspect the oral/pharyngeal area. We will palpitate/massage the neck and throat area to check for any abnormal lumps (checking the Thyroid area as well).
The entire screening takes less than 15 minutes and is completely painless.

An estimated 30 million American adults live with one or more missing teeth. (That’s one out of every 4 drivers on the road.)
Is your dad or husband one of them?
A missing tooth has a dangerous domino effect on his mouth.
When natural teeth are removed there is additional damage which goes well beyond the surface of the gums.
The bad news is that you don’t feel this domino effect. Unfortunately, over time this misalignment can make it difficult to keep your teeth clean which can contribute to cavities and gum disease.
Imagine a brick archway. 
If you take a brick out of an archway and come back in a year, you won’t be able to put that brick back in its place because everything has settled a bit.
Perhaps the archway hasn’t fallen down, but it’s certainly not going to last as long as the arch with all the bricks in place.
When you have multiple missing teeth, bone reabsorption occurs, which causes the face to collapse. These changes can become so severe they make the person look many years older than they actually are.
Dr. Korenman of Loveable Smiles can help with dental implants to replace missing teeth.
The advancements in dental implants over the years are life changing.
Simply stated, dental implants reconnect people with what they’ve lost. Youth. Self-esteem. Confidence. Function. Happiness. The joy of kissing!
Dental implants look natural, produce a beautiful smile, and allow you to eat, speak and function as you did when your mouth was healthy.
Only 12% of general dentists in the US place implants. 5% of those use the most updated form of technology.
Dr. Korenman has that technology.
He has invested in NewTom VG3 Dental CAT-scan which allows Dr. Korenman to view an anatomically accurate 3D image of your mouth. It provides the most comprehensive and accurate information required to determine your bone quantity and quality for possible dental implants. If teeth have been missing for some time he can see how much bone loss has occurred and determine what type of bone grafting may be needed.
With Dental CT scanning, implant procedures can be planned in detail before any surgery takes place. This means virtually no surprises when Dr. Korenman performs surgery.
With the advances in implant dentistry now available from Loveable Smiles, dad can soon be eating what he wants, when he wants, and where he wants.
His facial muscle tone will be restored. He’ll put 20 years of life back in his smile.
For more information, please call Loveable Smiles in Richardson at (972) 231-0585 and schedule your dad or husband a complimentary consultation.
It’s called the “Mouth-Body Connection,” and it means that certain dental conditions like gum disease, can severely deteriorate her body, especially her lungs and heart, and it can also lead to a host to other conditions including Alzheimer’s disease and even some Cancers.
Hormonal fluctuations throughout a woman’s life, including puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, can affect many tissues, including gum tissue.
Oral birth control: Inflamed gums are a common side effect of taking the pill. Dr. Korenman and his staff can give you suggestions to protect your gums and teeth.
Pregnancy: There is a link between uncontrolled gum disease (and the mom may not even know she has gum disease) and pregnancy complications such as premature labor and preeclampsia (rise in blood pressure). 
Additionally studies have shown that bacteria responsible for tooth decay are passed from the mother to the child in utero. The more frequently you give in to the craving for sugary snacks, the greater the chance of developing tooth decay. Women are encouraged to call their dentist for an appointment as soon as they learn they are pregnant.
Menopause: During menopause, changing hormone levels can cause various mucus membranes to dry out including salivary glands, often leaving menopausal and postmenopausal women with a persistent feeling of dryness in the mouth. Other oral changes that may occur during menopause are red or inflamed gums, mouth sores, bad breath, burning sensations, and altered taste, especially salty, peppery or sour.
The health of your mouth can be a sign of your body’s health. Mouth problems are not just cavities, toothaches, and crooked or stained teeth. Many diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers are linked with oral health problems. Regular dental exams help you maintain good oral health and avoid related health problems.
At Loveable Smiles, we practice Total Health Dentistry and educate our patients on the “Mouth Body Connection.” Additionally, we check all our patients for gum disease.
If you are diagnosed with gum disease, Dr. Korenman will design a treatment plan to help you get it under control and even more importantly, to keep it maintained in a healthy state.
We urge you to tell your mom to call Loveable Smiles for your Total Health Dental Care appointment at 972-231-0585.
Happy Mother’s Day from Loveable Smiles in Richardson!
This blog post is part of a series of Total Health Dental Care articles to inform our readers about the connection between your oral health and your overall health.
It’s called the “Mouth-Body Connection,” and it means that poor dental health can severely deteriorate your body. Today we are discussing the connection between malocclusion (poor “bite” or fitting together of the teeth) and your overall health.
Straightening teeth is no longer only for appearance. Straightened teeth contribute directly to your overall health. 
Malocclusion is often referred to overcrowding or misalignment of your teeth. Specifically, it refers to the relationship between your upper and lower teeth, which should fit together evenly with low force exuded on the jaws and tooth surfaces. If there is a misalignment between the upper and lower teeth, then a number of symptoms can occur:
Teeth that are crowded or out of alignment are more difficult to keep clean which can contribute to gum disease.
Gum disease not only leads to severe oral health disorders, but can exacerbate overall health conditions, such as diabetes or respiratory disorders. If left untreated, malocclusion can progress to affect bone, jaw, neck, and even head health.
Additionally, the improvements to bite functionality that result from malocclusion treatment can also make regular nutritional intake easier.
80% of people have Gum Disease and DO NOT KNOW IT! There is usually no pain involved for people until extremely late in the degeneration. Many gum problems will go unnoticed until they are diagnosed by a dentist.
The good news is that Dr. Korenman and his team are dedicated to educating the public about the dangers of gum disease and they check all their patients for it.
If you are diagnosed with gum disease, Dr. Korenman can design a treatment plan to help you keep it under control.
Problems with your bite can lead to problems elsewhere in your body. And, at Loveable Smiles, we understand the connection.
We urge you to call Loveable Smiles for your Total Health Dental Care appointment. 972-231-0585
This is just one of many examples of how we treat people, not just teeth.

What is a Pancreatic Cancer? 
Pancreatic Cancer occurs when there is out-of-control cell growth in the pancreas. The cells continue dividing and form lumps called tumors, which interfere with the normal functioning of the pancreas.

Chemotherapy & Dental Health
Most chemotherapy agents suppress white blood cells, which protect against infection.
Chemotherapy also effects saliva production, leading to dry mouth, and serious dental implications.
The oral tissues can become very inflamed, cavities can become rampant, and gums may bleed easily.
Additionally, if you are a patient and either about to start or are currently undergoing cancer treatments, here at Loveable Smiles, we will provide you with a complimentary fluoride tray to save your teeth.
Shocking Truth About Gum Disease

What is a stroke? 
An ischemic stroke (the most common type) happens when a blood vessel that feeds the brain gets blocked, usually from a blood clot. When the blood supply to a part of the brain is shut off, brain cells will die. The result is the inability to carry out normal brain functions such as walking or talking.
Strokes & Gum Disease Statistics
As you can see, research studies have discovered that oral infection is indeed a risk factor for stroke.
So, how are strokes related to your mouth? 
The number one cause of death is inflammation.
The number one cause of inflammation is gum disease.
Shocking Truth About Gum Disease: The Silent Epidemic
80% of people have Gum Disease and DO NOT KNOW IT! There is usually no pain involved for people until extremely late in the degeneration. Many gum problems will go unnoticed until they are diagnosed by a dentist.
Medications for Stokes Cause Dry Mouth
If you take any medication for stroke prevention including blood pressure medications and diuretics, you have probably experienced a common side effect of these popular medications: Dry Mouth.
The combination of two or more of these medications dramatically increase dry-mouth effects.
Dry mouth is a growing problem in dentistry. On a daily basis, Dr. Korenman and his staff see patients who suffer from dry mouth and the issues associated with dry mouth including tooth decay, gum disease and mouth sores.
The Good News for Stroke Patients
The good news is that Dr. Korenman and his team are dedicated to educating the public about the dangers of gum disease and they check all their patients for it.
If you are diagnosed with gum disease, Dr. Korenman can design a treatment plan to help you keep it under control.
Additionally, if you have suffered from a stroke, a consistent, preventive dental program is essential for survivors. The loss of senses, weakness of facial muscles, and side effects of medications can put you at high risk for dental problems.
