Why Choose A Holistic Dentist?

Holistic Dentistry, Joel D. Singer, DMD

At Joel D. Singer, DMD, we provide dental care with a focus on your overall health and well-being. We are unlike other dental practices in that we don’t treat your mouth as separate from your body. We understand that the mouth and the body are connected, and, in many ways, what is happening in your mouth relates to what is occurring in your body and vice versa. Dr. Singer still performs many of the same dental treatments you might find in other offices, but his approach may vary from what you have seen previously.

3 Important Oral Health Warning Signs

Joel D. Singer, DMD, Patient Information

Dealing with an unexpected emergency is no fun, especially if it involves a costly repair or it disrupts your plans. Thankfully, many of the things we use on a daily basis, our cars for example, often give us warnings or have indicator lights to notify us of a pending problem we should have checked out before it becomes a significant and expensive issue. Our mouths work in much the same way. We often have patients who are surprised when they experience a dental emergency, but then realize their mouth has been giving them warning signs for quite some time.

Importance Of A Proper Bite

Joel D. Singer, DMD, Patient Information

When we have patients who visit our office and are interested in straightening their teeth, most patients are only concerned about the appearance of their teeth. They want to smile and show off beautiful, straight teeth. However, when we examine patients who are considering orthodontic care, we have a different concern — their bite. In fact, we often have patients who are suffering from a different problem and are surprised to learn they have an incorrect bite and it is leading to their oral health issues. Your bite is the way your upper and lower teeth fit together when you have your mouth closed as well as when you are chewing your food.

Watch Out For These Symptoms

Be Proactive With Your Oral Health

General Dentistry, Joel D. Singer, DMD

Dr. Joel Singer and his team are dedicated to helping patients improve their oral health as well as their overall health. Dr. Singer practices holistic dentistry, which focuses on promoting overall health and wellness and looking at the signs your body is providing to determine what is causing the issues with your oral health. One way this is possible is when patients follow routine oral care. We typically see our patients twice a year, unlike general practitioners who typically only see patients once a year. This gives us the opportunity to talk with our patients about how they are feeling as well as anything they are noticing with both their oral health as well as their overall health.

Who Is A Candidate For Dental Implants?

Joel D. Singer, DMD, Restorative Dentistry

There is no excitement like that of a child who has lost their tooth for the first time. That excitement continues with each baby tooth that falls out. Unfortunately, as adults we don’t share that same excitement when there is a loss of a tooth. There can be a number of reasons why a patient may need to lose a tooth as an adult. Our goal is to help our patients through the process and help them choose a tooth replacement option as soon as possible. Our first treatment recommendation is always a dental implant.

We could not be more pleased that spring has arrived. We don’t know how you feel, but we thought this winter was never going to end!

While we all experience it from time to time, if you find that you always avoid certain foods because of sensitivity issues, your mouth might be telling you there is a problem.
