Waterlase Dentistry is one of the most advanced dental technologies available today and happens to be a more gentle method to fix tooth decay. Waterlase Dentistry uses a patented combination of laser energy and water - a process called Hydrophotonics - to perform a wide range of dental procedure on teeth, gums and bone more comfortable. Our experienced dentists typically use fewer numbing and less anesthesia to provide a more comfortable dental experience.

If you live with a teeth grinder, you may be familiar with this unpleasant sound, especially recently. A recent study published in the journal Head & Face Medicine suggests that people—adults and kids—faced with stress tend to cope by grinding their teeth. In addition, the Chicago Dental Society suggests that since the recession began in 2007, teeth grinding, or bruxism, has been on the rise.
At Advanced Dental Concepts, we have known for some time that certain types of chewing gum, cough drops, toothpaste, mouthwash and candy have been found to help prevent tooth decay. Believe it or not, the sugar substitute “Xylitol” was found to be the culprit, helping to prevent bacteria growth that often contributes to cavities. This research was focused on permanent teeth.
Lets’ face it, cold sores are always painful and always unwanted. These lesions, also known as herpes simplex virus (HSV), can be caused by, according to Dr. Andrew Weil, “stress, such as the onset of a cold or other illness, menstruation, sunburn, fatigue, even emotional trauma.”
Like most Americans this weekend, our staff at Advanced Dental Concepts will celebrate America's 234th birthday. For most folks we know here in Pace, Independence Day means a time of celebration, and a time to commemorate the anniversary of the signing of America's Declaration of Independence. It's also a time to pay homage to think of all our soldiers who continue to place themselves in harm's way every day so that we may enjoy our freedoms.
At Advanced Dental Concepts, we'll always tell you keeping your toothbrush clean and germ-free should be a high priority. There are millions of germs in our mouths, so how should you make sure your toothbrush is always clean?
Our friends at the American Dental Association discovered that a person's smile was important than their eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature. After all, there's a big reason why Americans spend about $2.75 billion each year on cosmetic dentistry: people want to look (and feel) great.
We see patients every week who complain about canker sores, or aphthous ulcers. Nobody really really why we get them, but some suspect they may be caused by deficiencies of folic acid, iron or vitamin B-12.
In our continuing efforts to provide the most advanced technology and highest quality care available to our patients, Advanced Dental Concepts screens our patients for oral cancer. The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved.

Our staff at Advanced Dental Concepts know many parents tend to sign up for Facebook accounts and ‘friend’ their kids, often as a way to keep an eye on their online activities. But then what? Many parents in this digital age are still lost when it comes time to monitoring their kids online. 
Great news to report this Wednesday afternoon! A new study from Wayne State University in Michigan suggests people with big, happy smiles may actually out-live those who don't. 
April is almost upon us, and for Drs. Faulkner and Spurlock, that only means one thing: it’s once again time to remind our dear patients to protect their faces and pearly whites. Nearly 60,000 people injure their faces annually while participating in sports activities, with children, high-school athletes and adults will have more than 5,000,000 teeth knocked out in sporting events each year, according to the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation. 
March has arrived, and that can only mean one thing: it’s National Nutrition Month. Every March, Drs. Faulkner and Spurlock, as well as thousands of dentists and hygienists across the nation, celebrate this occasion. This year is no different.

The causes of diabetes are still a mystery, but researchers believe that the tendency for diabetes is present at birth. Currently, approximately 24 million Americans have diabetes. 
Last week, we blogged about the need to screen for gum and heart disease during the month of February, also known as "America's Heart Month." Well, February is also synonymous with National Children’s Dental Health Month, and the team at Advanced Dental Concepts is here to tell you about the need for preventative oral care in kids.
Did you know February is Heart Month? It’s a great time to take good stock of the health of your heart, say Drs. Faulkner and Spurlock. Cardiovascular disease remains American's No.1 killer, claiming more lives than the rest of major causes of death, according to the American Heart Association. Studies have shown a correlation between gum disease and heart disease, underscoring the importance of good oral health care. 
Do you say “no thanks” when someone offers you a glass of iced tea or lemonade? And skip the sundae when you take the kids for ice cream? All because your teeth just hurt too much when they encounter something cold? If so, you’re not alone. Cold sensitivity like that is a complaint dentists hear frequently. Even if the pain lasts just a moment it makes it hard to enjoy the foods and drinks you love.
