Sedation Dentistry vs. Sleep Dentistry
August 13, 2012

You may have heard the terms “sedation dentistry” and “sleep dentistry” used interchangeably, but these two phrases refer to entirely different procedures. Sedation dentistry involves the use of a safe sedative that is taken about an hour before your appointment.

The sedative generally lasts a total of six hours, leaving you with little memory of your treatment.

In contrast, sleep dentistry involves the use of anesthesia, which comes with inherent risks. You are entirely...

December 12, 2010

Dr. Oz’s recent suggestion to apply a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice to your to teeth in an effort to whiten them is pretty darn scary. Lemon juice is a strong acid, with a pH of approximately 2. Almost the same as Coke and Pepsi. Would you brush your teeth with Coca-cola?

Baking soda is an abrasive material. Think sandpaper. So, the acid softens the tooth enamel and then according to Dr. Oz you’re suppose to take sandpaper and rub the enamel away. Repeated use of this this technique will do one thing, guaranteed 100%, as that it will remove the enamel from your teeth!
