Dentistry without Drills or Needles? One of the reasons people fear going to a dentist is anticipating the sharp pinch of a needle or the vibration of the drill. You will be happy to know that there is an amazing advancement in dentistry called air abrasion. It takes the place of conventional drilling with a stream of minute particles and air that mist away the decay. Most patients do not even need anesthesia. This means no more drilling and no more shots! Lim and Yabu Geraldine Lim, DDS & Eric Yabu, DDS 4174 Park Boulevard, Suite A Oakland, CA 94602 (510) 530-7000 OaklandLaserDentist.com

People with diabetes are prone to oral infections. You should get dental checkups at least twice a year. Let your dentist know you have diabetes and what medicines you take. Regular checkups and professional cleanings can help keep a mouth healthy. And a dentist can teach you the best ways to care for your teeth and gums at home.

Well-controlled diabetes contributes to a healthy mouth. If you have poorly controlled or high blood sugar, your risk increases for dry mouth, gum disease, tooth loss, and fungal infections like thrush. Since infections can also make blood sugar rise, your diabetes may become even harder to control. Keeping your mouth healthy can help you manage your blood sugar. The above article is from: WebMD.com
No More Cavities – Ever! Is this even possible? It is now!!
Cavities are a result of a bacterial infection referred to as “caries.” In our practice, we use the CariFree™ program. It was designed to help patients become free of cavities by evaluating their risks for disease. We diagnose any presence of bacterial infections that can cause cavities. We treat the infection with specific preventive techniques.
It is our goal to prevent cavities, and the CariFree program accomplishes just that! We give you a “caries risk assessment” that identifies any present factors that could cause decay. We give you instructions and products to take home and use that will significantly reduce the chance of cavities.

Diabetes puts you at risk for dental problems. It impairs the ability to fight bacteria in your mouth. Having high blood sugar encourages bacteria to grow and contributes to gum disease. You may have gum disease if you have:
Gums that are red, sore, bleeding, or swollen, or that pull away from your teeth
