April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month!

Join us in the fight against oral cancer!

Over 43,000 people are newly diagnosed with oral cancer every year. It is not only affecting high-risk patients like smokers and tobacco users, but it has started to impact the younger population in association with the HPV virus.

As your dentist, we are your first line of defense in discovering this deadly disease. The more often you are screened, the more likely the oral cancer will be diagnosed early--significantly increasing your chance of survival. Schedule your appointment today for a FREE oral cancer screening. The offer is valid throughout April in honor of April Cancer Awareness month.

Early Detection…the Key to Beating Oral Cancer

Did you know that every hour someone dies from oral cancer? The death rate for oral cancer is increasing. 640,000 new cases of oral cancer are found each year worldwide; if not detected early, only about half of these people will be alive in the next five years.

Early detection of oral cancer can significantly improve your survival rate to 80 -90%. Since this is a disease that can go unnoticed, it is important to have regular checkups in order to identify if you have oral cancer or are at risk to get it. Our dentists may detect unusual lumps, abnormal tissues, sores or pains that will have an immediate follow up to discard any complication further on.

April is the Oral, Head and Neck Cancer awareness month as declared by the Oral Cancer Foundation, at Cyberdent we are giving all our patients a FREE oral cancer screening at our dental office. Come today and preserve your dental health so your loved ones can see you smile for a long long time!

How to Care for Braces?

Today, more than ever before, children and teens alike are choosing braces to correct dental imperfections and as a measure to straighten and properly align their entire teeth structure. Also, it is widely used as a complement to both clinical and cosmetic procedures. Here are a few useful tips to follow when taking care of your braces and to avoid accidents that may permanently harm both your teeth and inner gum.

• Choosing the right toothbrush There are many specialized tooth brushes available in the market that are designed specifically for people having braces. Therefore, make sure that you get the one that suits your needs.
• Brush with care When you first get the braces, you may find it difficult to brush at first. However, if you get the right tooth brush, it will be much easier for you to perform this activity. Do not try to use rigorous motions, use soft strokes. Also, do not forget to brush at least twice a day so that no big chunks of food particles stay in your teeth.
• Floss Flossing is essential for you because you have braces. Therefore make sure to floss regularly, even daily so that smaller food particles do not stay stuck in the braces and create cavities in the teeth.

• Avoid few food items Getting braces may also mean that you cannot chew a bubble gum anymore. Avoid any foods that are hard to chew. This may include carrots and other such vegetables which need to be chomp a lot as it may hurt your teeth. Moreover, stay away from gooey sticky substances as well. You should avoid chocolates, too much cheese and noodles. These substances tend to stay inside the small spaces of the braces and are often hard to remove with simple brushing. Moreover, they will decay over there and cause your teeth further damage.
• Wear your mouthguard and headgear Whenever you go out, remember to always wear a mouthguard and a headgear. These two items help protect your teeth from physical damages. The headgear is particularly used to help keep the teeth perfectly aligned.
• Don't miss an appointment Never miss your appointments with your dentist at either Van Nuys or Glendale.Always come for regular checkups to make sure everything is working right. Remember that wearing braces takes a long time and you must regularly visit your dentist at Van Nuys or Glendale, if you want the process to follow the right direction. By doing this, your dentist will be able to fix any damaged braces in time and also help you achieve the perfect smile you dream of, which is your current goal.
