From everyone here at dentalroots

Both adults and children who engage in contact sports can benefit greatly from always protecting their teeth with a http://www.dentalroots.com/blog/article-preserve-your-smile-with-a-proper-sports-mouth-guard.html Dr. Nitu Singh http://www.dentalroots.com/blog/article-happy-thanksgiving.html Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!

As a Naperville dentist, most of my patients assume that I spend the majority of my time focused on teeth.

The body needs exercise. I am a firm believer in the fact. Our muscles were meant to be used, so the more exercise, the merrier.

Read what some of the patients of Naperville dentist, Dr. Nitu Singh are saying about their experience at dentalroots:

Store-bought “boil-and-bite” mouth guards are notorious for their inability to protect you against the damage caused by mouth injury. Retail mouthguards can also easily slip out or jam in the wrong direction. Since the final version of a store-bought mouthguard is quite hard and unforgiving, it can actually misalign your teeth over time.

By contrast, a custom-fit sports guard for our Naperville patients by Nitu Singh is more comfortable, more flexible, more stable and absorbs impact much better than conventional mouthguards.

Dr. Singh can also create custom nightguards to neutralize the negative effects of bruxism and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). An effective night guard places your joints and muscles at rest, potentially relieving headaches, neck aches, joint pain, face and muscle soreness and ringing in the ears. A night guard will also protect your teeth from wearing down.

In two quick appointments we can personalize a mouthguard that will serve you for years to come. Try it for yourself — you’ll quickly notice a significant difference. Visit our office now and learn how.

• Ask family, friends, neighbors or colleagues for suggestions
• Ask your other physicians or local pharmacists for a trusted recommendation
• Get in touch with the closest dental society for a recommendation

The ADA can be a direct resource for local and state dental societies. They may also be listed in your telephone directory under “dentists” or “associations.”

Understand that you and your Naperville dental center will be long-term oral health care partners, so find someone you can trust and in whose presence you feel comfortable. Consider one or more of the following questions as criteria to determine if a dentist is right for you:

• Are the office hours convenient?
• Is the location close enough to work and home?
• Is your dentist spending enough time to include treatment options?
• What dental school and continuing education has the dentist graduated from or attended?
• What is the dentist’s philosophy of treatment?
• What type of anesthesia is the dentist certified to administer?
• What is the policy on appointment cancellations?
• Does the dentist participate in your insurance plan?
• Does the office appear to be well-organized and clean?
• Is the dental staff friendly and eager to answer your questions?
• During treatment, do you observe the proper use of safety equipment (gloves, etc.)?
• Are payment plans and financial information clear and reasonable?

You only get so many teeth to use for a lifetime, so take the time you need to make the right decision.
