We live in uncertain times as we deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing is the norm to combat the spread of the virus. While you keep your distance, wash your hands often, and avoid touching your face, you might wonder if there’s more you can do to avoid COVID-19? Believe it or not, your oral hygiene habits can help keep the virus at bay while also preventing an unplanned trip to your emergency dentist in Annapolis. Here are 5 oral hygiene habits to implement to stay healthy.
At Goodman Dental Care, we are dedicated to helping patients achieve and maintain their healthiest smiles, but in our Annapolis dental office. We also know that are many people in Annapolis and throughout Anne Arundel County who do not have the means to receive the dentistry services they need. That’s why we are longtime supporters of the Stanton Center. This free outreach clinic offers underserved patients necessary medical and dental care at no cost to them, and we regularly volunteer our time and talent to help Stanton Center patients. We recently decided to add our own volunteered services for select patients. Each month, we’ll give away a free dental crown restoration to a patient in need.

Want to have a healthy mouth and body? Then floss your teeth everyday. Flossing helps to remove plaque, which is that clear sticky film that our mouths produce day in and day out. Hiding in plaque are the bacteria that can lead to gum disease, which cannot only wreak havoc in your mouth but is also linked to a number of systemic illnesses and diseases. The father and son dental team at Goodman Dental Care has seen the unfortunate consequences that can happen as a result of plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) build up. That’s why your Annapolis dentist recommends regular and proper flossing. Read on for more information and how you can improve your flossing technique.
If you are considering dental implants to treat tooth loss, the top question you have is probably about the cost of the procedure. Unfortunately, the answer to this question really is not a cut and dry answer. While the average cost of dental implants in Annapolis range from $3000 to $4500 per tooth, there are various factors that influence the overall cost of the procedure. Often, there are many additional procedures that must be performed prior to the implant procedure, such as bone grafting or tooth extractions. All of the potential procedures needed must be taken into consideration when estimating the final cost of a dental implant.

You’re probably familiar with dental crowns that restore a tooth’s form and structure when there has been severe decay or irreversible damage. However, have you heard of the E4D system? This advanced dental technology allows Annapolis dentists Drs. Goodman to give you a new crown in just a matter of hours. Traditional crowns, which have long been the gold standard, necessitate scheduling two appointments that are usually separated by a couple of weeks. With E4D, you’ll be on your way with a strong new tooth after only one visit.
Bridges and crowns are the most affordable and convenient option for replacing missing teeth. However, now you have another option, an implant supported bridge. An implant supported bridge is very similar to that of a regular dental bridge, however, it offers more benefits than that of a traditional bridge. Since dental implants are used, the bridge is permanently inserted into the mouth, which allows you to gain many additional benefits, including enhanced oral health. As a dentist for dental implants in Annapolis, we offer implant supported bridges to give you a complete smile.

For those who have gaps in their smile due to missing teeth, dental implants offer a permanent solution to fill the missing space with a dental prosthetic. Dental implants are the most preferred solution for tooth loss because they look and function like natural teeth. They offer a long-term investment in your smile because there’s no need to have adjustments or new implants made every few years like that of dentures. Not to mention, they provide amazing oral health benefits that just aren’t possible with other forms of dental prosthetics. However, dental implants are only available to those who are candidates for the procedure. If you’re considering dental implants in Annapolis, Goodman Dental Care will help you determine if dental implants are right for you.
