Preventive Dental Care Dallas TX

Tooth Decay: A Different Approach – the ICON™ method.

Dr. Blandford is a firm believer that “the best dentistry is the least dentistry.” This is embodied in the philosophy called “minimally invasive dentistry.” Drilling and filling is of course a perfectly valid way to treat decay and restore teeth. One drawback to this, however, is that healthy tooth structure can be lost during treatment.

With the Icon method, tooth decay can be treated in the very beginning stages before it becomes a big problem. And the best part? NO DRILLING. In fact, you won’t even need a shot. It’s completely painless. This treatment ARRESTS the development of cavities without losing any healthy tooth structure.

Ask us if the Icon method is right for you or your family!

Sleep Apnea Treatment Dentist Dallas TX

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea (or sleep apnoea in British English; English pronunciation: /æpˈniːə/) is a sleep disorder characterized by abnormal pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally low breathing, during sleep. Each pause in breathing, called an apnea, can last from a few seconds to minutes, and may occur 5 to 30 times or more an hour.[1] Similarly, each abnormally low breathing event is called a hypopnea. Sleep apnea is diagnosed with an overnight sleep test called a polysomnogram, or "sleep study".

There are three forms of sleep apnea: central (CSA), obstructive (OSA), and complex or mixed sleep apnea (i.e., a combination of central and obstructive) constituting 0.4%, 84% and 15% of cases respectively.[2] In CSA, breathing is interrupted by a lack of respiratory effort; in OSA, breathing is interrupted by a physical block to airflow despite respiratory effort, and snoring is common.

Regardless of type, an individual with sleep apnea is rarely aware of having difficulty breathing, even upon awakening.[3] Sleep apnea is recognized as a problem by others witnessing the individual during episodes or is suspected because of its effects on the body (sequelae). Symptoms may be present for years (or even decades) without identification, during which time the sufferer may become conditioned to the daytime sleepiness and fatigue associated with significant levels of sleep disturbance.

TMJ Dentistry Dallas TX

TMJ/TMD - Proper Bite Alignment Treatment Helps You Say 
‘Goodbye’ to Headaches and Jaw Pains!

Did you know that dental occlusion (i.e. your bite) is sometimes the cause of frequent headaches, aching or popping jaws, shoulder pain, and neck pain? If your teeth have been ground down over the years or lost due to accident or dental disease, your jaw is not able to settle into a naturally relaxed position. This causes tension in the muscles in the jaw, and can lead to a variety of pain that you may have already grown accustomed to living with. By restoring your dental occlusion, the jaw can be returned to the position that nature intended. This highly technical procedure, known as a full mouth rehabilitation, is available in our office. If you have been living with the pain and discomfort described above, we invite you to discover the benefits that this procedure may bring to your quality of life.
