Flower Mound Dentist Explains Minimally Invasive Dentistry

June 4th, 2010 by golab

You may have heard the term “minimally invasive dentistry” (MID) bandied about. But what does it really mean? Basically MID restores oral health while trying to maintain healthy tooth structure. A generation ago, dentists practiced dentistry with lots of fillings, dental crowns, and dentures. The trend today is in the opposite direction. “Here at the Flower Mound cosmetic dentistry, our Flower Mound dentist believe that “less is more”, says Dr. Jonathan Golab, a Flower Mound invisalign braces provider and dental crowns. “If we help you keep your teeth healthy, we can preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible.” Not only does this approach result in more natural, trouble-free teeth, it also saves patients money.

In advanced stages, gum disease can cause bad breath, bleeding gums, inflammation, loose teeth, and a receding gum line. That’s just the mouth. Research has shown that gum disease can double your risk for heart attack, triple your risk for stroke, worsen diabetes, and also contribute to systemic diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and other seriousness illnesses.
