Dentists Serving the Community

Here’s another example of dentists donating their time and resources to help out their fellow citizens. According to the New York Times about 35% of Americans have not seen a dentist in the past year. This creates a staggering dental problem for the populace at large, which is why many dentists take it upon themselves to offer days of free dental care where possible. But the article notes these free services are only a temporary solution. The truth is everyone needs to see a dentist regular and also maintain their own dental hygiene with regular flossing and brushing.

The New York Times recently reported that more than 100 million people in the U.S. don’t have dental care and that roughly 35 percent of Americans haven’t seen a dentist in the last year.

Several dentists in Montana decided they wanted to do what they could to remedy America’s dental care problem, according to NBC. Coming from Billings, Broadview and Laurel, these dental care professionals decided to hold Give Back a Smile, a one-day free event for individuals without coverage.

“I don’t think anyone really enjoys coming to the dentist, but everyone we’ve had in here have just been very thankful and very grateful,” Dr Christopher Hirt told the news provider. “These are the sort of toothaches that have been keeping people up at night they can’t function, they can’t eat, and they’ve just been so grateful for us to get them to a place where they can just resume a normal life.”

Blurring Lines Between Cosmetic Surgery and Cosmetic Dentistry

To date cosmetic dentistry and cosmetic surgery have been two different areas of practice. But an increasing demand for both services is blurring the lines between the two. Patients who are going “under the knife” to alter the shape of their face will often require adjustments to their teeth or other dental adjustments. Some practices are even combining the two services into a face lift dental practice that allows patients to correct a nose problem at the same time as fixing a mouth issue, for example. The Daily Downer discusses one such practice in California:

Most people would prefer to have a great looking face, along with a comfortable mouth position. For this reason, Dr. Muslin’s proprietary service, Face Lift Dentistry, can help people readjust their bite, while also having their face look smoother and many years younger. This can be a perfect solution for anyone having jaw problems along with facial structure issues. Often, increasing the support your mouth has, will increase the youth and vitality your face offers.

For a long time, dentists had to deal with unwanted effects on the facial proportions of their patient resulting from cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic surgeons had to deal with the same issues due to the ineffectiveness of their solutions. Now, people can get both of their problem areas addressed with one solution, Dr. Muslin’s proprietary procedure, Face Lift Dentistry. This process will let you feel comfortable and look younger.

Now that Dr. Muslin has developed this solution, people no longer have to live with unwanted side effects from their facial or dental constructions. Both aspects of the body can now be aligned into a perfect structure, to look great from every angle.
