This
Halloween, at Roselle Dental, we are getting ready to celebrate. We also know
that Halloween means trick or treating and LOTS of candy…probably more candy
than you really need.
This year
we’d like to give you a chance to give up some of that candy for a good cause,
and for a little profit, too!
On November
1st, 2011, the day after Halloween, we are having a special event
here at Roselle Dental. Our Halloween Candy Buy Back, where we will give you
cash for candy! Just bring your candy in and we will give you $1 per pound of
unopened Halloween candy, up to 5 pounds.
On top of
that, we will ship the candy to an organization called Operation Gratitude, who
will use the candy to make care packages for our troops overseas.
So remember-
November 1st, 2011 form 3pm-5pm, we’ll be here waiting for your
extra stash!
Happy Halloween!!!

Pregnancy
gingivitis is known to develop in almost half of all pregnant women and should be
monitored by a dentist during pregnancy. This is a precautionary measure to
prevent this form of gingivitis from progressing into more serious periodontitis,
an advanced and irreversible form of gum disease, which has been linked with
preterm birth.
Dental sealant is a thin, plastic coating painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth -- to prevent tooth decay. The sealant quickly bonds into the depressions and grooves of the teeth forming a protective shield over the enamel of each tooth.
Although thorough brushing and flossing can remove food particles and plaque from smooth surfaces of teeth, they cannot always get into all the nooks and crannies of the back teeth to remove the food and plaque. Sealants protect these vulnerable areas from tooth decay by "sealing out" plaque and food.
Because of the likelihood of developing decay in the depressions and grooves of the premolars and molars, children and teenagers are obvious candidates for sealants especially through the cavity prone years of ages 6 to 14. However, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
Applying sealant is a simple and painless process. It takes only a few minutes for your dentist or hygienist to apply the sealant to seal each tooth. The application steps are as follows:
1.First the teeth that are to be sealed are thoroughly cleaned.
2.Each tooth is then dried and cotton or another absorbent material is put around the tooth to keep it dry.
3.An acid solution is put on the chewing surfaces of the teeth to roughen them up, which helps the sealant bond to the teeth.
4.The teeth are then rinsed and dried.
5.Sealant is then painted onto the tooth enamel, where it bonds directly to the tooth and hardens. Sometimes a special curing light is used to help the sealant harden.
Sealants can protect teeth for several years, however, they should be checked for chipping or wearing at regular dental check-ups. Your dentist can replace sealants as necessary.
Many insurance companies cover the cost of sealants. Check with your dental insurance carrier to determine if sealants are covered under your plan.

Tooth decay is caused by a variety of things; in medical terms, cavities are called caries, which are caused by long-term destructive forces acting on tooth structures such as enamel and the tooth's inner dentin material. With conventional instruments, it is generally not possible to probe drop-shaped fissures. DIAGNOdent has the great advantage of detecting caries in the very early stage by measuring the laser fluroescence within the tooth structure. Which means you will get extremely precise results without x-ray exposure.
