World Oral Health Day in Richardson, TX

In March, we celebrate Word Oral Health Day.

Dr. Larry Korenman is dedicated to improving your overall health through dentistry.

It’s called the “Mouth-Body Connection,” and it means that poor dental health can severely deteriorate your body, especially your lungs and heart, and it can also lead to a host to other conditions including migraines, Alzheimer’s disease and even some Cancers.

Poor dental health is often caused by gum disease.

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.

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.

We urge you to call Loveable Smiles for your Total Health Dental Care appointment where we will check you for gum disease at 972-231-0585.

Adult Braces Trend Going Strong at Loveable Smiles in Richardson, TX

Once seen as a treatment for teenagers, more and more adults are now opting to realign their teeth.

And it’s not just folks in their 20s and 30s. People over the age of 50, 60 and even 70 are opting for this service.

Dr. Larry Korenman of Loveable Smiles is seeing this trend in his office in Richardson, TX.

Adults of all ages are electing to straighten their teeth later in life both to improve their looks and to fix long-standing dental issues.

Some patients may have either lost a tooth or had previous dental work that’s causing problems. Often, their teeth are simply showing the wear and tear of five or more decades of work. Frequently they are having muscle and joint pain or they have noticed their gums have receded.

Better Dental Care & Technology

Older adults are in a better position to get their teeth straightened.

Unlike in our grandparents’ generation where full sets of dentures were common, today, adult teeth are in better shape due to superior dental care and prevention measures such as fluoridated water.

Additionally, dental technology is extremely advanced allowing for improved dental imaging and updated appliances that help straighten teeth much faster.

There are plenty of alternatives available for adults who want braces but don’t want the look of metal in their mouth. Dr. Korenman is an Invisalign provider. This orthodontic method uses aligners that are smooth and clear.

These aligners get replaced every few weeks as your teeth are repositioned.

The average Invisalign case can be completed in about one year!

Warning Against DIY Teeth Straightening

Unfortunately, with this trend in adults opting to realign their teeth, there has also been an increase in patients trying to straighten their teeth themselves with such things small rubber bands, clay, hair ties or aligners sold on-line.

Trying to close a gap or straighten your teeth yourself can increase the risk of infection and serious damage to your teeth and gums, including tooth loss.

These self, oral care “hacks” often lead to people spending serious time and money with a dental professional — the very thing they were trying to avoid in the first place.

Dr. Korenman is a very well-trained dentist who is responsible for the proper placement of the teeth using Invisalign aligners. He has the technology and knowledge to create and administer custom Invisalign treatments for patients. Learn more about Invisalign on our website here.

Beyond Cosmetics

The health benefits of having properly aligned teeth extend far beyond a beautiful smile.

Straight teeth are also helpful with the following:

Reducing wear of teeth
Helping you to speak, chew and breathe properly

Straight teeth are much easier to clean.
Improved oral hygiene helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Developing adequate space for dental implants to replace missing teeth

Creating a more balanced bite which can alleviate pain and headaches as well as TMJ
Helping to alleviate sleep apnea by repositioning the jaw for better breathing

We encourage you to call our office for your Invisalign consultation. 972-231-0585

Loveable Smiles Team Is Grateful

Dearest Patients, Family and Friends;

The theme of our letter this year is Gratitude. We have so many things to be grateful for in 2019. We recently celebrated our 13^th year in Richardson. We can say with pride that it has been a wonderful year for us and for the Richardson community. We continue to celebrate being chosen for the 2010 Dallas Business Journal Ethics Award.

We are most grateful for all of the support within our community and for all of the precious referrals from our Loveable Patients.

We have celebrated many weddings, engagements, new babies and vacations with our patients, friends and families throughout this year. We have shared sad occasions, as well, throughout all of this we have continued to have wonderful success stories of the happiness our patients’ Loveable smiles have given them. These stories can be shared on our Loveable Smiles Facebook page. Please go there and “like” us.

Please continue to check out our website and dental blog to keep up with our latest news and dental information. On that note, we have committed and doubled down to our belief and how important it is to complete your dental health care with Invisalign. That is the best way that your teeth can be in the correct place which protects them from future wear and keeps your gums healthier.

We are improving our office by putting in hospital grade wood floors and new paint. The Loveable Team: Tray, Devona, Ariana, and Hana are expertly trained in dentistry and customer service. We have never had a better team, ever! Dr. Korenman is also up to date on laser dentistry which means no shots, no drills, and no pain! We have also added more frenectomies (tongue/ lip tie) newborns and tongue rejuvenation for bad breath with that laser.

What remains the same is that we answer the phone 24/7, listen to our patients, we continue to strive for higher technology and we never ever hurt anyone. Dr. Korenman’s cell phone number is on his card so you can even reach him personally.

Thanks to all your referrals of your friends and family, we are growing and helping many more people. We couldn’t do it without you.

As we are all so busy, please stop for just a minute and remember, “What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked G-d for yesterday?” May the New Year bring all of you renewed health, continued happiness and the greatest gift of all “peace of mind”.

Yours in Health,

Dr. Larry Korenman and the Loveable Smiles Team

How often should you see your hygienist for dental cleanings?

October is National Dental Hygiene Month.

How often should you see your hygienist for dental cleanings? Some people may say that you should go every six months, some people may say every 3-4 months, and others may only visit the dental office when they are experiencing pain.

So, which one is right for you?

The answer is not as black and white as you may think…

Dental cleaning frequency is completely dependent upon the patient and their individual needs.

It is the same concept as when someone goes to physical therapy or rehab and the therapist creates a custom program for each individual in order to get them back to health (there is no blanket solution).

Patients who have seen the dentist regularly and practice good oral home care may only need to have a dental cleaning every six months because they have minimal build up and little to no bleeding in the gums. On the other hand, some patients who have not seen the dentist regularly and/or do not practice good oral home care may need to have their teeth cleaned every 3 to 4 months because they have moderate to severe build up and bleeding in the gums or they have been previously diagnosed with periodontal disease (loss of bone around the teeth).

The goal is to get your teeth cleaned frequently enough to keep the bacterial plaque build up at a minimal level so that either healing can occur or so that the tissues can stay in an optimum state of health.

In order to see what frequency is right for you, you should see your hygienist and discuss what treatment cycle will give your teeth and gums the best outcome.
