Advanced Dental Concepts partners with Give Kids A Smile
April 2nd, 2012
This weekend, our team at Advanced Dental Concepts partnered with Give Kids A Smile, a national non for profit organization. Area dentists, hygienists and many volunteers gather and provide free dentistry to children 4-18 years old. It is held at the Pensacola State College Warrington Campus once a year. Pictured above are Dr. Forrest Faulkner, Dr. Ed Faulkner, and April Enfinger, all from Advanced Dental Concepts. Also pictured above is Michele Williams RDH at Advanced Dental Concepts, Corie Stull, an RDH, and her daughter, Ryian, who volunteered to help.
The Scoop on Dental X-rays
March 26th, 2012
Dental X-rays are an essential and invaluable tool to help assist us in evaluating your oral health. With X-rays, we can see what’s happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums and identify oral health issues otherwise hidden during a visual exam, including:
• small areas of decay between the teeth or below existing restorations (fillings)
• infections in the bone
• periodontal (gum) disease
• abscesses or cysts
• developmental abnormalities
• types of tumors
If left untreated, these problems can lead to expensive, time-consuming, and painful conditions, so it’s important to find and treat them early.
Dental X-rays are extremely safe, and our team is certified in the proper use of our digital X-ray equipment. The amount of radiation that you are exposed to from dental X-rays is very small compared to your daily exposure from things like atmospheric radiation and naturally-occurring radioactive elements, as well as medical X-rays you may have gotten at your doctor’s office or hospital. In fact our digital system dramatically decreases the already minimal amount of exposure even further. We try to be as conservative as possible when prescribing x-rays but do need them to see what is going on where our eyes can’t see.
