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!

What do
you do if your child knocks out a permanent incisor?
The best way to preserve a
PERMANENT TOOTH
that has been knocked out is to
put it back into its
socket as QUICKLY as possible.
Re-implantation is
BEST AT THE SITE OF THE ACCIDENT within 15
minutes to ensure a favorable outcome. You still must
take the patient to a dentist. If it's not
possible to re-implant the tooth the next best option is
to carefully pick up the tooth by the crown (avoid
touching the root) and put the tooth in a cup of saline
solution or fresh cold milk, and get to a dentist as
soon as possible. For more information please click on

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.
