Your Best Smile Dentistry Blog for Michigan

If you live in the Detroit area and are planning to take a vacation or business trip soon, I recommend you coordinate your dental care with your travel schedule. It’s always a good idea to have a checkup with your Detroit dentist prior to leaving on long vacations, especially if your trip is taking you to developing areas without good dental care options. This quick checkup will help you be sure that your mouth is ready to travel.

More importantly, if you have any dental procedures scheduled before you leave, discuss it with your Detroit cosmetic dentists. A large number of dental procedures are actually surgical procedures. This means that your body will need more time to heal than you may realize.

Also, if you’re leaving the Detroit area by plane, you should be aware that changes in the cabin pressure of the airplane may cause tooth pain or discomfort for patients who have just had oral surgery. In addition, make sure you are aware of any necessary follow-up appointments with your Detroit dentist or orthodontist before you schedule a vacation.

We’re Drs. Greg & Joanne Szalai and we want Detroit residents to be informed about their dental care. Our dental practice offers:

• cosmetic dentistry
• dental implants
• sleep apnea and snoring treatment
• Invislign clear braces
• porcelain veneers

If you are looking for general dentistry or quality cosmetic dentistry in the Detroit area, please call us today and let our caring and professional staff take care of you.

Have you ever been eating an ice cream cone in Allen Park when you felt a sudden jolt of pain in one of your teeth? If the enamel is eroded, or the gums have receded, the dentin layer of the tooth is exposed. The substances that cause tooth pain travel to the pulp where the nerves of the tooth are located. Ouch!

Tooth sensitivity can be a signal that something is wrong. It may be caused by periodontal disease or bacteria build-up in a crack in a tooth.

Enamel erosion can be caused by a number of factors including acidic foods and drinks, teeth grinding, or cracked teeth. If your teeth are sensitive following a professional teeth whitening such as the ones we do here at Szalai & Szalai DDS, the sensitivity will probably be gone in a few weeks.

Surprisingly, one cause of gum recession for our Allen Park general dentistry patients is brushing too hard. That’s right; it is possible to brush too hard!

If you experience constant or intermittent pain in your teeth or gums, call 313-928-2323 right away to make an appointment. Drs. Greg & Joanne Szalai take tooth pain seriously.

At Szalai & Szalai DDS in Allen Park, we not only treat tooth sensitivity problems, we also perform entire smile makeovers for cosmetic dentistry patients in the area. You’ll find us at 5329 Allen Rd, Allen Park, MI 48101.

For years, the American Academy of Pediatrics advised Detroit parents to begin children’s dentist visits before the third birthday. The AAP now advises Taylor and Southgate parents to take their toddler to a Detroit dentist before their first birthday, or about six months after their first tooth appears.

Why? Prevention, prevention, prevention! Sadly, Detroit dentists find advanced tooth decay in very young children.

High-risk children should be seen as early as possible. Following are some of the risk factors:

• Sleeping with a bottle
• Drinking juice continually during the day
• Abnormal tooth development
• Thumb sucking
• Tooth grinding
• A mother with significant tooth decay
• Other health problems

To talk to us about general dentistry, call 313-928-2323.  Drs. Greg & Joanne Szalai at Szalai & Szalai DDS can advise you on your next steps for your child. We also pamper busy Detroit parents who come to Szalai & Szalai DDS for general and cosmetic dentistry. If you are between the ages of 20 and 80, we would love to provide you with the most advanced dental care in Allen Park.

When the upper part of the jaw and the lower part of the jaw are not the same size, bite problems can occur. When the lower jaw is smaller than the upper jaw, it is called an overbite. When the reverse is true, it is called an underbite. Another related alignment disorder is called a crossbite. Crossbites occur when lower teeth are in the wrong position. They may be incorrectly positioned sideways, forward or backward.

Malocclusion (literally ‘bad bite’) is the term used for all types of bite problems including overbites, underbites and crossbites. Jaw alignment disorders can cause a range of problems and often prohibit proper chewing and/or swallowing. Teeth can shift around in the mouth, causing even more discomfort or difficulty. Gum disease and tooth decay are also harder to prevent because proper oral hygiene can be difficult with a malocclusion. TMJ disorder can develop over time. Distorted facial shape and unattractive teeth are often the most noticeable and troubling issues for those affected.

Fortunately, there are a variety of effective treatments for bite problems. If you suspect your child has a bite misalignment, it is especially important to have them examined by a general dentistry practice as early as possible. By starting early, you can make sure they avoid years of pain and self-consciousness.

Call Szalai & Szalai DDS at 313-928-2323. Drs. Greg & Joanne Szalai, DDS are experienced in diagnosing bite disorders in patients of all ages. We can create a successful treatment plan for you. We also perform dental implants and sleep apnea and snoring treatment for Allen Park area dental clients.

Malocclusions (bite problems) include overbites, underbites and crossbites. Jaw alignment disorders restrict proper chewing, talking, and swallowing. They can also cause teeth to shift around in the mouth. Allen Park cosmetic dentistry patients with bite problems are at a greater risk for tooth decay and periodontal disease because bite misalignment often makes it difficult to maintain proper oral hygiene.

When the lower jaw is smaller than the upper jaw, it is called an overbite. When the situation is reversed, it is called an underbite. Crossbite occurs when lower teeth are in the wrong position.

Bite problems can cause headaches and TMJ pain. Some Allen Park dental patients with severe bite problems develop a distorted facial shape and damaged teeth.

If you suspect your toddler or older child has a bite problem, it is important to see your Allen Park general dentist as soon as possible. Bite issues and their various related problems get worse over time.

At Szalai & Szalai DDS, we diagnose and successfully treat bite problems in addition to providing general and cosmetic dentistry. We can be reached at 313-928-2323. Our office is located at 5329 Allen Road, Allen Park, MI. You can find out more about us at http://www.AllenParkDentists.com/.

Most of our patients live in Allen Park or nearby in Detroit, Dearborn, or Taylor. If you have recently moved into the Allen Park area and need a skilled family and cosmetic dentist, come visit our caring and professional team. We pamper every patient and make dental visits as comfortable as possible.

How long have dentists been drilling teeth? Would you believe 9,000 years? In an ancient graveyard in Pakistan, archaeologists unearthed skulls containing teeth that had undergone drilling. The stone-age dentists removed decay using drills constructed of sharpened flint.

Though advanced cosmetic dentistry would not be possible without drilling, the sound of a dental drill can make many Allen Park patient’s hearts pound. However, there is another way your cosmetic dentists can remove decay. This technique is known as air abrasion or drill-less dentistry. An air abrasion instrument removes material by spraying tiny aluminum oxide particles onto the tooth. The particles work like a sandblaster spraying away the affected tooth structure.

The many advantages of air abrasion make it a popular procedure for general dentistry offices. Because air abrasion is usually pain free, the need for anesthesia is reduced. The air abrasion instrument does not create vibrations or pressure. Allen Park cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the fact that air abrasion instruments don’t produce that whiny drill sound that rings in your ears and makes your palms sweat. Because of this, air abrasion can be a less-frightening option for young dentistry patients. Air abrasion is often quicker and more precise than traditional drilling, leaving more of the healthy tooth intact.

At Szalai & Szalai DDS, we provide anxiety-free dentistry. If you would like to learn more about air abrasion or dental implant cost, call us at 313-928-2323. We are located at 5329 Allen Road in Allen Park, MI. The caring and professional staff at Szalai & Szalai DDS is dedicated to your comfort and satisfaction.

Looking for a general dentistry office in Detroit is sometimes a simple matter of word of mouth. The most common way for people to find a dentist in a new area such as Detroit is to ask a friend or neighbor. ‘Who is your dentist?’ is a common question. The answer is usually followed up with an explanation about whether or not your friend likes their dentist or not, and whether they would recommend their Detroit dentist to a friend.

We are Drs. Greg & Joanne Szalai, and we are dentists serving the Allen Park Michigan community. We call our practice ‘Szalai & Szalai DDS’, and we welcome new patients from the Detroit area.

If you are new to the Detroit area and are looking for an Allen Park dentist, please come by our dental office in Allen Park Michigan. We will be happy to spend some time with you to get to know you, and to introduce you to our caring and professional office staff.  We will be happy to show you before and after pictures from some of our tooth whitening, Invisalign, or dental implant patients.

We realize that most of our new patients will come to us by word-of-mouth referrals and our patient testimonials. It is our goal to deliver such a positive dental experience that you will be compelled to tell your friends about how happy you are with our general and cosmetic dental service.

We look forward to meeting you.
