The no- drilling, no-pain solution: Icon!

Icon  is a new way your dentist can stop the progression of an early cavity before it needs to be treated using a drill.  This breakthrough treatment fills and seals the tiny holes and stabilizes the tooth, offering may unique advantages:

·  The treatment does not require drilling the tooth or anesthesia

·  Healthy tooth structure is preserved

·  The treatment is completed in just one visit to your dentist

·  The treated surface of the tooth looks like healthy enamel- no more white spot!

·  By treating cavities early, the life expectancy of the tooth can be prolonged!

 

Are you a good candidate for Icon treatment?

Icon is a breakthrough treatment that can...

·  Stop an early cavity before it needs to be “drilled and filled”

·  Cosmetically remove white spots caused by early cavities or orthodontic treatment

Icon is only appropriate for treating cavities in early stages. Cavities that have progressed beyond the early stage will need to have a conventional filling or other treatment.

Ask your dentist if you are a candidate for treatment with Icon!

In an effort to keep parents up to date with  fluoridated water issues, Dr. Chan has included a link to the Helix  Water District.  The fluoride implementation date of October 1, 2007 has passed and many parents still have questions regarding fluoride and its necessity.  Please click on the following links  for more information.

 

The San Diego dental society website is a great way to find information concerning you and/or your children.  A wonderful pediatric resource is the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and their website www.aapd.org. The AAPD is the membership organization representing pediatric dentistry and their mission is to promote optimal oral health for children.  Dr. Chan will be using the “What’s New” page to convey helpful tips and information from the AAPD to her patients.  She hopes the topics will be helpful and informative to parents and will be changed monthly.
 

Students miss more than 51 million school hours per year* because of dental problems or related conditions. Dental pain can distract students, cause their schoolwork to suffer or even lead to school absences.  Children and adolescents with healthy teeth have better attendance, are more attentive in class and tend to participate more fully in school-related activities.

To start the school year off on the right tooth, and prevent oral-health-related absences, teach your student to floss once a day and brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Beware of frequent snacking, as repeated exposure to sugary or starchy snacks can increase the risk for cavities. And most important, visit your pediatric dentist twice a year. Your pediatric dentist provides an ongoing oral health assessment and can help your student prevent cavities and school absences.
