You need to monitor your child's fluoride intake as regular fluoride intake in children, more than the optimal amounts can often lead to fluorosis. According to one of the popular dentists in Cupertino - Dr. LaFrom, addition of fluoridated water to your child’s baby formula may increase the chances of the development of dental fluorosis, which is a harmless cosmetic condition that can be noted by the appearance of brown, discolored or spotted enamel.
Dr. LaFrom says that parents should be careful while diluting formula concentrations, as wells or community water sources often have fluoride levels that are higher than 1.2 ppm, the highest quantity that is beneficial for preventing tooth decay. He also says that parents should take their children to the dentist if they find brown spots on their kid’s teeth.
If your child's first primary teeth develop some fluorosis problem, you should correct it so that your child has lower risks of having a problem when his/her permanent teeth erupt at the age of 5 or 6.
It is also a good idea to check the fluoride levels in your water source. You may either take the water sample to your local water or health department, or ask your dentist to test the same with his colorimeter.

Why should you use floss and mouthwash?
Though most of the people have all the necessary tooth tools like toothbrush, mouthwash and floss to keep their teeth healthy, many only make use of the toothbrush on a regular basis. If the same is applicable to you, it is time to start using your mouthwash and floss – says Dr. LaFrom, one of the leading dentists in Cupertino.
Stressing the need for flossing, Dr. LaFrom says that since your toothbrush can't remove particles stuck in between your teeth, you need to use flossing for the job. However, he cautions, that you need to be aware of the proper flossing techniques and ensure that you are doing it the right way. He also supports the use of mouthwash, which he believes can give a clean feel to your mouth.
Choosing the proper mouthwash is an important thing. You will mainly get two types of categories, namely cosmetic mouthwashes and therapeutic mouthwashes. Though cosmetic mouthwashes can hide bad breath and even get rid of some mouth bacteria, their overall influence on your dental health is limited. On the other hand, therapeutic mouthwashes can help fight cavities and periodontal diseases, along with building tooth enamel. So, you should consult your dentist to know which type of mouthwash will suit you best.

Ways to clean your teeth
It is always a good idea to get your teeth cleaned by a professional. Though brushing and flossing are indispensable parts of keeping your teeth clean; only an expert can help you get rid of the tartar and plaque that are often formed in your teeth, according to Dr. LaFrom, one of the leading dentists in the Cupertino region.
Dr. LaFrom says that based on your frequency of visiting the dentist, three types of teeth cleanings can be offered. People having healthy gums and minimal tartar, plaque and debris buildup are usually advised to undergo “prophylaxis” – which is commonly called the regular teeth cleaning procedure.
Patients showing signs of gum disease like deep gum pockets, tartar and plaque buildup under the gum line and/or bleeding gums require a more intensive procedure of teeth cleaning and usually go for deep cleaning.
The last procedure called the periodontal maintenance treatments are meant for those patients who have been diagnosed with periodontal ailments.

How to select your toothpaste
The brand of your toothpaste does not matter much as long as it contains fluoride. So, you can choose your toothpaste to have any specific flavor, in gel, paste or powder form. According to one of the leading dentists in Cupertino, Dr. LaFrom, all fluoride toothpastes can fight cavities and plaque successfully and keep the tooth enamel clean and polished. However, he says that your toothpaste brand should have the seal of the ADA (American Dental Association), which would act as an evidence of safety and efficacy that the brand has shown during controlled, clinical trials.
You should opt for a toothpaste specifically designed for sensitive teeth, in case you have hypersensitive teeth. These toothpastes contain potassium or nitrate strontium chloride, which help in desensitizing the teeth. However, you need to use them for at least a month before you feel any therapeutic effects.
Though toothpastes containing hydrogen peroxide and/or baking soda give a clean and pleasant feeling to the teeth and mouth, it is the fluoride in the toothpaste that acts as the true active ingredient to protect your teeth, says Dr. LaFrom. Some people even prefer to use toothpastes that contain pyrophosphates, which can prevent the formation of tartar deposits on the teeth.

What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease or otherwise known as gum diseases, are one of the most common dental problems. It not only involves swelling and bleeding of the gums, but in more acute cases, results in loss of bone structure of the teeth. As a result of this, the patient might even loose teeth due to periodontal disease. Dr. LaFrom, one of the popular dentists in Cupertino, says that Gingivitis, and the different stages of periodontitis are the most common type of periodontal diseases.
Gingivitis is caused by bacterial infection or plaque attack along the gum line. This results in swelling and bleeding of the gums. If the gum infection continues, it will result in more severe conditions like teeth loss. This mainly happens due to the lack of early detection and proper treatment; hence the gums become a breeding ground for plaque and bacteria.
Dr. LaFrom says that periodontal diseases are either hereditary or are caused due to lifestyle related issues like smoking and excessive stress. In any case, an early detection might solve a lot of your gum disease related problems. Periodontal diseases are not as painful as many other dental problems, and hence there is a general tendency to neglect them. If you have noticed regular gum bleedings during brushing, it is time to consult a dentist.
The best way to get hold of a specialist periodontist is by first referring your gum disease condition to your regular dentist and then acting on his/her recommendation. To know more about treatments for periodontal diseases, visit www.dentist-cupertino.com to make an appointment with Dr. LaFrom.

What is a Maryland Bridge?
A Maryland bridge is a cost effective way to replace a missing tooth. It is a variant of the dental bridge and can be used in cases where the adjacent teeth to the affected one are healthy and can support the abutments of the Maryland bridge. Dr. LaFrom, one of the esteemed dentists in Cupertino, says that Maryland bridge can pose certain aesthetic problems but is otherwise a successful alternative to the traditional bridge.
A Maryland bridge consists of a porcelain tooth that is held together by metallic structures on both the sides. This porcelain tooth is called the pontic. It is placed as a tooth-replacement by attaching the metal structure to the back of the healthy teeth on both the sides of the missing one. Resin cement is often used as the substance for cementing the metal frames. So, it is also called resin bonded bridge. A Maryland bridge is typically used in cases where the front teeth are missing.
Dr. LaFrom says that the metal that is used in the Maryland bridge might result in certain aesthetic irregularities like distortion of the natural color of both the adjoining teeth and the porcelain tooth. You need to take proper care of your Maryland bridge to make it last longer. It is essential to follow the regular brushing and flossing routine. A regular dental check up is also necessary in this regard.

Dental Patient Rights
As a dental patient, you are entitled to certain rights that would ensure a higher standard of dental treatment for you. The American Dental Association (ADA) has been working vociferously to create awareness for these patient rights. They are also lobbying for various legislations that would empower the patients to demand more out of their dental insurances and health care services. Dr. LaFrom, one of the leading dentists in the Cupertino region, says that the rights of the dental patients are an effective means to implement a more alert and caring dental treatment procedure.
Most of the dental clinics would advertise in some form or the other the rights that you would enjoy as a patient. Dr. LaFrom says that these rights would typically include your right to visit the dentist of your choice; to know about the cost of the treatment procedure before the treatment actually begins, to know what exactly has happened to you and the possible treatments, in a manner that a non-medical person might understand. These rights would also ensure that you could stop your treatment with a particular dentist whenever you feel like with complete confidentiality of your records.
There are various other patient rights and a conscientious dental clinic or a dentist would cooperate with you so that you might actually benefit from them. In case they don’t, you can always take legal help or the help of any local dental association.
Dr. LaFrom greatly values dental patient rights and is highly reputed for his concern about his patients. He has a very efficient team of medical professionals and patient coordinators who are always ready to help you with your needs and queries.

Know More About Dental Allergies
Dental allergy is indeed a matter of concern for dentists and patients as it causes various inconveniences in the treatment procedure. Dental allergies can cause significant delay in the treatment and can also take a dangerous turn if you and your dentist are not careful. Dr LaFrom, one of the leading dentists in the Cupertino region, says that dental allergy is a major hindrance in effective dental treatments and hence one needs to be extra careful when dealing with patients, prone to allergy.
Dr. LaFrom says that one of the most common types of dental allergy is latex allergy. Latex is a natural rubber like substance and is regularly used in various household products like balloons, bandages, elastics etc. Latex sometimes serves as a component in the gloves used by the dentists. The dental masks and the syringes might also contain latex. The airborne protein particles of the latex can cause allergic reactions like breathing problems or in more damaging cases, may even result in anaphylactic shock.
There are other types of dental allergies like allergic reaction to local anesthesia and metal allergies that may lead to problems with dental crowns and dentures. If you have experienced dental allergies before or have an allergic tendency to any of these materials, make sure you convey the information to your dentist. He/She would then be able to take adequate preventive measures.

What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns - also called tooth caps, are dental restorations that fit over the teeth. It is used to improve the general health of the teeth, like its shape and size. It is also used as a part of cosmetic dentistry as it improves the appearance of the teeth. Dental crowns are used for teeth that have endured extensive damage due to decay, or those that are discolored or permanently stained. It is also used for teeth that have become brittle after a root canal. Dr. LaFrom, one of the leading dentists in the Cupertino region, says that both crowns and veneers are in use and you should consult your dentist to make sure which one would be suitable for you.
Dr. LaFrom says that dental crowns can be made out of metal, porcelain, porcelain and metal, resin and ceramic. Metal crowns are durable but the main problem is that the metallic color would make them look unnatural. Resin crowns are cheaper as compared to the other varieties but they are also more prone to the wear off process. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are most natural in color and would not stand out from the rest of the teeth.
Dental crowns and veneers are more or less used for the same purpose but there are some essential differences that should be kept in mind. Dental veneers are attached to the front part of the teeth, while crowns fit over the teeth. In case of heavy damages, dental crowns are used more often than the dental veneers. Dental crowns also involve removal of more tooth structure. You can make an appointment with Dr. LaFrom for CEREC porcelain crowns, which would need only one sitting to be completed.

The Use of Laser in Dentistry
Laser is an important device of high tech dentistry. Since the mid nineties, lasers have been used in dentistry and Dr. LaFrom was one of the first dentists to use dental lasers in Santa Clara County. It is indeed an effective and hassle-free way of performing various dental procedures like cavity removal, gum reshaping, teeth whitening, hardening bonding materials and to remove bacteria from periodontal pockets.
Dr. LaFrom, one of the most popular dentists in the Cupertino area, says that the effectiveness of laser dentistry depends on the dentist’s ability to control power output and the duration of exposure on the tissue. It allows for a highly precise treatment without causing damage to the surrounding tissues. The laser treatment also reduces the pain and the recovery time. Some of the other benefits of using laser would be that some of the laser procedures do not require anesthesia and minimizes the bleeding as well as there are chances of getting a bacterial infection. Laser treatment is also a very effective way of dealing with teeth that are sensitive.
There are various types of dental lasers that are gradually becoming popular among the dentists. These include the laser tools like the Waterlaser system, which are used for the removal of decay and damaged gums, lasers used for cavity detection, and bleaching lasers. Dr. LaFrom also uses argon laser that can be used to cure composites, and a new laser called the DIAGNODENT, which helps to detect the intensity of decay.
You can visit www.dentist-cupertino.com to know more on dental laser treatment and also fix an appointment with Dr. LaFrom. Kurt, an elated patient makes it a point to say “You are the best quality Dental Experts and the best people and personalities of any office facility.

More about Air Abrasion
Air Abrasion is also called “microabrasion” and is an alternative method to the dental drill. It is used to remove decay from the tooth. This new age technology allows the dentist to remove decay from the tooth without administering anesthesia. Dr. LaFrom, one of the leading dentists in the Cupertino region, says that air abrasion can help to repair chipped, cracked, stained and discolored teeth and even help teeth get ready for composites. This procedure can also prepare teeth for cosmetic surgery and is often used to prepare the teeth for bonding procedures like sealants as well as to mend broken bridges and crowns.
Air abrasion involves spraying of a fine stream of aluminium oxide particles through a sand blaster like instrument in the decayed part of the teeth. Dr. LaFrom says that it is indeed an effective procedure as it prevents drilling away of the tooth structure. The technique of air abrasion was invented around 1940s, but it was rather overshadowed by the use of drill. However in the recent times, there has been a lot of improvements in this technique and many dentists are using this as an alternate method.
Air abrasion is a completely safe process provided protective eye gears and rubber dams are used. If compared to the traditional drilling method, it is comparatively faster and less painful.

Know More About Tooth Bonding
Dental bonding or tooth bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that is going to improve your smile for sure. Dental composite consists of silicon dioxide or quartz, which is bound with a synthetic resin. The best part about tooth bonding is that it matches the natural color of your teeth. Dr. LaFrom, one of the most popular dentists in Cupertino, says that tooth bonding is a very successful way to close tooth gaps or to get rid of spots, chips, and discolorations. It is also used to fill cavities and repair broken front teeth.
In case of Dental bonding or tooth bonding, the first thing that the dentist would do is to select the composite resin that matches the natural color of your teeth. Then, the area of the tooth that is to be repaired is roughened. After that, the dentist applies the composite resin to the teeth. It has a paste like consistency and can be shaped and smoothed to achieve the perfect look. A high intensity light is used to harden it and then it is polished so that there is no distinction with the surrounding teeth.
Dr. LaFrom says that the composite resin used in tooth bonding expands and contracts along with the natural teeth, which in turn avoids the appearance of cracks. If your repairing need is small, it might be accomplished in a single sitting. However, larger corrections might require two sittings. You should check the accreditations of the cosmetic dentist before approaching him or her for tooth bonding.
You can visit www.dentist-cupertino.com to make an appointment with Dr. LaFrom. He has the solutions to all your dental problems including tooth bonding. Dave says this with best compliments - “You are the nicest medical people I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. Everyone gets an "A".

Know more about Dental Sealants
Dental Sealants are an effective way of preventing cavities in children. Dental sealant consists of a thin plastic film that is applied on one or more teeth. It is placed in the groove or the fissure of the teeth. This results in making the surface of the teeth smooth. As a result of this, the food particles do not get trapped. This also makes brushing easier, which in turn ensures that the teeth are cleaned properly. Dr. LaFrom, one of the most respected dentists in the Cupertino area, says that not only children but even adults can benefit from dental sealants.
Sealants are usually placed on the back molars and sometimes on the pre-molars. Dental sealants are a cost effective way of avoiding cavities. Dental sealants are extremely durable, despite the pressure of chewing. They remain functional for over five years. However, they would eventually wear off naturally and need to be replaced.
Dr. LaFrom says that the sealants can be placed quite easily by your dentist. The teeth that are to be sealed are cleaned and roughed up. Then the dental sealant is painted upon the tooth enamel thereby bonding with it. The entire process can be done in a single sitting. However, you should keep in mind that dental sealants do not prevent gum diseases. So, regular check up is also needed to protect the oral health of your children.
Please visit their website at www.dentist-cupertino.com for an appointment with Dr. LaFrom who can help you with everything related to dental sealants. Kathy, a highly satisfied patient says “I am very comfortable and happy with every visit. Thank you all!”

General dentistry vs. Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry can be considered a specialized field. It differs from general dentistry in certain ways. In general dentistry, the main focus is on the general welfare of your teeth. This involves treatment of various dental diseases and maintenance of oral health and hygiene. Cosmetic dentistry involves certain procedures, which are targeted at improving the aesthetics of your smile. Dr. LaFrom, Cupertino’s popular dentists, says that although they are separate categories of cosmetic dentistry, they mutually complement each other. If you do not have healthy teeth, they might not be able to endure the procedures of cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry also deals with teeth abnormalities like stains, chips, and unevenness that can make the teeth look unhealthy. These problems need to be fixed or else, your general oral hygiene practices may get disturbed.
Cosmetic dentistry involves procedures like bleaching of the teeth to make them whiter, filling cavities with tooth-colored materials, repairing chips with fillings, reshaping teeth and closing gaps between them, covering broken teeth with veneers, gum recontouring using laser etc. Cosmetic dentistry satisfies the patients’ yearning for a beautiful smile. But these aesthetic improvements are also functional. General dentistry involves preventing, diagnosing, and treating dental diseases. Some of the common general dentistry procedures are extraction of teeth, application of sealants, removal of cavities, root canals, polishing and general oral hygiene. Dr. LaFrom says that it is essential to choose a cosmetic dentist who has received special training from American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).
Please visit their website at www.dentist-cupertino.com for more details on cosmetic and general dentistry and to get Dr. LaFrom’s appointment. These are the words of Linda, a satisfied patient –“My visits are always pleasant. I like the staff and they are always friendly. Dr. LaFrom is a great dentist.”

More about Dental Amalgams (Silver Fillings)
Dental amalgams or silver fillings have generated controversy among the dentists for ages. The point of contention is that they contain mercury, which is toxic and can be harmful for the patients’ health. Dr. LaFrom, one of the most popular dentists in the Cupertino area, informs us that silver fillings are the least expensive type of filling and that’s the reason why the dental insurance companies would only pay for that. But more advanced and durable methods like composite filling are gradually becoming popular among the dentists and the patients.
Dental amalgam or silver filling contains mercury, silver, tin and copper. Mercury that binds all the metals together forms about fifty percent of the component. It has been heavily debated whether the mercury present in the silver fillings cause autoimmune disorders, chronic illnesses, birth defects, neurodegenerative diseases, mental disorders and oral lesions,. However, according to many dentists, dental amalgam is perfectly safe and time-tested. Despite this controversy, dental amalgam or silver filling is more or less approved by organized dentistry.
Dr. LaFrom says that the toxic nature of mercury in the dental amalgam remains a debatable issue. However, it is additionally dangerous because it might lead to tooth fracture as mercury is very susceptible to temperature changes. By using dental amalgam, one also adds to the environment pollution as mercury from amalgam and laboratory devices accounts for a sizeable percentage of mercury emissions. Porcelains, glass, and composites are alternate materials that are found to be much more durable and convenient than dental amalgam or silver filling. The only problem is that they are much more expensive. Please visit our website at www.dentist-cupertino.com to know more about silver fillings and for making an appointment with Dr. LaFrom, who offers impeccable medical service and expert advice on various dental issues. Cindy confirms “For being a 'dental' visit, it’s always gentle and easy. Thanks Doc!”

CERECS: The Advanced Methodology of Dentistry
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It is a proven technology that has made dentistry more convenient and faster. It is the process by which a dentist would produce indirect ceramic dental restoration by using computer-aided technologies like 3D photography and CAD/CAM. Dr. LaFrom, one of the leading dentists in the Cupertino area, has been working with CEREC crowns for a long time and has received awards from the Bay Area Dental Study Club in this regard. He says that CEREC has revolutionized dental treatments, as the treatment procedure that would have required two weeks notice can be done now in a single sitting.
Dr. LaFrom informs us that CEREC is used to produce custom restorations that consist of crowns, veneers, full crowns, onlays and inlays. At first, the digital impressions of your teeth would be taken instead of using dental putty, which would then be converted into a three dimensional model. Your dentist would modify the model using 3D CAD software. The modifications would ensure perfect precision and aesthetic viability. Later, this would serve as the model for your ceramic restoration.
When your dentist is completely satisfied with the model, the data would be sent to a milling machine, which would carve the actual restoration out of a ceramic block using Diamond Head cutters. Once the restoration fits properly, it would be bonded to your tooth.
Please visit our website at www.dentist-cupertino.com for further details on CEREC and for making an appointment with Dr. LaFrom. Paul, a satisfied customer says “I don't think it's common to hear anyone say "we love our dentist", but the fact is we do “LOVE” our dentist. My family and I have always trusted and felt "safe and comfortable" with Dr. LaFrom and all his staff for the past 20+ years.”

The Benefits of Reshaping your teeth
Teeth reshaping is one of the most popular treatments of cosmetic dentistry and is effective for those who have crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or even overlapping teeth. Dr. LaFrom, one of the best dentists of Cupertino region, says that it is an easy process and can be done in a single sitting.
Dr. LaFrom assures us that teeth reshaping can be done without the use of anesthesia. It involves quick procedures like adding a laminate or removing a small amount of tooth enamel. However X-rays must be done to ensure that your teeth are strong enough to sustain the procedure of teeth reshaping. A dentist might use a sanding drill or laser to remove the tooth enamel. Tooth lamination is done to increase the length of the teeth or to reshape it. A regular follow-up would ensure that your reshaped teeth stay in the best condition.
Teeth reshaping is often used for the upper central, lateral, and canine teeth. It is an effective and hassle free way to improve your smile, and also has further implications. If the teeth structure is even and the overlaps are repaired, then it would be much easier to clean the teeth. This would help you stay away from common dental problems like cavities and gum diseases.
Teeth reshaping is almost a painless procedure and does not involve much time. However, if too much tooth enamel is removed, it might result into further tooth decay. To solve your teeth reshaping problems, make an immediate appointment with Dr. LaFrom. You would also find the relevant details on our website. Dee, an elated patient says, “I was very satisfied with my dental visit. Dr. LaFrom and staff all tried to make the office visit as pleasant as possible. Thanks!”

Know more about Dental Implants
Dental Implant is actually the artificial tooth root that is surgically placed in your jaws. The purpose is to keep the replacement tooth or the bridge in place. Dental implant is a very effective treatment as the success rate for it is very high. Dr. LaFrom, one of the leading dentists in the Cupertino area, assures us that for this problem, all you would need is an expert dentist and his dedicated supporting staff.
The most amazing fact about dental implants is that they feel and look very natural. They do not even affect the border teeth in any way. The major implants include the fibrointegrated implant and the osseointegrated implant. At present, the latter is the more popular and accepted form of treatment amongst the dentists. An osseointegrated implant can be placed in a single sitting but it might take three to six months to anchor itself.
Dr. LaFrom says that dental implants require the help of a restorative dentist and the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Your dental implant would be specifically designed to meet your special needs. This would depend on whether you have lost one tooth or several teeth. There are several support treatments to make the dental implant procedure more effective. These include treatments like Sinus Augmentation and Ridge Modification. You need to regularly floss and brush your teeth to keep your dental implants healthy. Follow-up visits to your dentist are equally necessary.

The Importance of Dental Insurance
If you are serious about your dental health care, then you must be serious about your dental insurance as well. Dr. Lafrom - one of the most popular dentists in Cupertino, advises that you should choose your dental insurance plan as carefully as you choose your dentist.
Dr. LaFrom informs us that there is no perfect dental insurance plan but certainly some plans would be more suitable to your needs than others. No dental insurance plan is going to cover your dental care expenses completely and all of them have coverage limits depending on how much you pay. For any average dental insurance plan, you are required to pay the basic monthly premium and some additional charges like deductibles, co payments, and coinsurance.
Most dental insurance companies consider the dental care treatments under three categories. These are preventive - which includes routine checking, basic or restorative - involving treatments like dental fillings, and major - including dental surgeries and implants. Majority of the dental insurance companies would set their own standard price for dental treatments that might differ from what your dentist would actually charge. Dental insurance plans are mainly of two types, namely Indemnity and Managed care plans. While the former offers you a wider choice of dentists, the latter involves agreements with participating dentists to provide you with comprehensive dental care treatment at a lower rate. You must be very careful to optimally use your dental insurance coverage. You should check out certain basic facts like what amount of monthly payments you have to make and which dentists are part of your dental insurance plan.

Overcome your fear of the dentist
Many children and adults dread their visits to the dentists and some even avoid going to the dentists due to dental phobias and anxieties. Dr. LaFrom - a popular dentist in Cupertino, informs us that many of his patients are indeed terrified of visiting the dentist. However, he adds that there are many ways to overcome the fear. You can start by knowing that you are not the only one scared and it is not strange to be so. Dentistry involves many painful procedures but an expert dentist and his team would understand your problems, empathize with you and ultimately cure you. Thus, by enduring the momentary pain, you would be saved from something potentially dangerous and far more painful.
Dr. LaFrom says that dental phobia like all other phobias is an irrational fear and can be tackled with the help of your dentist. While mild dental anxieties are normal, severe dental phobia can become a serious issue and a deterrent to dental treatment. In these cases, patients avoid going to the dentists and even if they make an appointment, they are extremely scared and often fall ill due to the stress. There are many dentists who follow sedation techniques to create relaxing atmosphere and ease their patients’ anxieties. Incase of children, parents must ensure that children visit their dentists regularly to overcome this fear. They must also not pass on their own anxieties about dentists to their children.
Dental anxieties and phobias can also result from the unfeeling remarks by dentists or hygienists which lead to embarrassment for the patients. Dr. LaFrom not only offers expert medical service but also a relaxing environment and inspires trust from his patients. Lily, one of his many impressed patient says “Best dentist and front office and staff I've ever experienced!!”. You can visit our website for further details.

Oral health care for Men
Many surveys and studies have shown that men are more prone to neglect their oral health than women. Dr. LaFrom - one of the most respected dentists in Cupertino, says that many of his male patients suffer from dental diseases due to their carelessness in practicing habits of oral hygiene.
It has been observed in many surveys that fewer men take preventive dental measures than women and visit dentists only when their years of neglect have resulted into major dental problems. Studies have also shown that men are more relaxed than women in following simple dental health care routines like brushing and flossing of teeth. Dr. LaFrom says that men are more likely to suffer from periodontal diseases which are caused due to plaque attack. New links have been discovered between periodontal diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is very essential to do the needful to avoid these diseases and immediately consult a dentist in case of bleeding gums or loose teeth.
Men are also more likely to smoke than women and tobacco related dental problems and diseases like oral cancer occur more frequently in men than in women. The percentage of men taking medications for heart diseases is much higher and these medications can cause dry mouth. These also disturb the saliva flow and increase the chance of cavity formation. Those who suffer from dry mouth have to increase their water intake to avoid further complications. Alcohol or alcohol based mouth rinse should also be avoided in these cases. Men who play contact sports should wear mouth guards to minimize the risk of damage to their teeth. Dr. LaFrom offers expert services in dealing with these dental problems.

Dealing with dental emergency
Accidents can happen without any prior notice and you would need to see an emergency dentist without delay when your mouth, teeth or jaw gets injured.

So, don’t neglect your dental emergency and seek the help of an emergency dentist without a second thought.
Dr. LaFrom - a popular dentist in Cupertino, informs about some of the simple steps that you can take to deal with a dental emergency:

If you are planning for a trip where you would be invariably away from your general dentist, then you might consider taking a dental first aid kit for emergency situations. Dr. LaFrom – one of the popular dentists of Cupertino, says that it might also help if you keep one at home.
Emergency situations might occur if you lose a filling, knockout or lose a tooth. In these cases, a dental first aid kit might rescue you out of the painful situation.

How to maintain your family’s oral health
There are very few caregivers who do not get worried often about maintaining their family’s oral health. Though it is indeed a very difficult task, Dr. LaFrom – one of the leading dentists of Cupertino, assures that following a few basic routines can keep a lot of troubles at bay. It is important that you visit your general dentist regularly and practice good oral hygiene at home.
Dr. LaFrom says that regularly flossing your teeth and brushing them with fluoride toothpaste are important aspects of oral health and should not be neglected. You should also keep a tab on what you eat and when you eat. As most of our snacks comprise of sugar and starch, the plaque bacteria in our mouth react with these to cause the plaque attack. This in turn leads to the formation of cavities. According to many dentists, one of the main reasons that you lose your teeth is gum disease. By maintaining basic oral hygiene, you can keep your natural teeth healthy.
If your family comprises of children and senior members, then you have to be extra careful. Children of all ages have specific problems but you can take measures to avoid the occurrence of cavities during early childhood. Ensure that your child starts visiting the dentist by the time he or she is one year old. For the senior members, dentures and medications are almost essential aspects of the dental health care.

Keep your child away from dental cavities
According to Dr. LaFrom – one of the popular dentists in Cupertino, eating unhealthy foods can be taken as the most important reason for the rise in number of children having dental cavities. Children often have an affinity towards processed foods, soda and other bottled sugary drinks. This affinity leads to them to consume these unhealthy and junk foods rather than healthy snacks like fruits and nuts. However, the practice of good oral hygiene, regular visits to the dentist and healthy eating habits can help keep your children cavities at bay.
To begin with your child’s teeth-care routine, ensure that his/her baby teeth remain healthy and free from infection. Teach your child the process to brush properly using the side-to-side as well as the up-and-down strokes. Also help your child understand how he/she should brush around his/her gum line for a minimum of two minutes, twice every day.
Ensure that your child develops a healthy eating habit by encouraging the intake of fresh vegetables, raw fruits, nuts, low-fat dairy products and whole-grain breads. If your child craves for sweets, allow him/her to have it either after a main meal or as a dessert. Remember - frequent and late-night snacking are the major culprits that cause cavities in children.
Dr. LaFrom advises parents against sharing utensils or cups with their children if they have cavities. As cavities are contagious, they can pass onto your child if you do so. He also advises parents to stop smoking as research has shown that parents who smoke have higher chances of having children who develop cavities.

Once you visit Dr. LaFrom, you too may echo what Marty has said: I am totally pleased and happy with the service I have received. The dentistry is excellent and up to date.

Dental Care for your toddler’s teeth
While being extremely sensitive to their kid's physical health, parents often neglect to give adequate attention to their kid’s dental health. According to Dr. LaFrom – one of the popular dentists in Cupertino, parents should not treat the dental health of their toddlers lightly as tooth decay is one of the most common childhood diseases. However, this can be prevented if you take proper care of your baby’s teeth.
The risk of tooth decay sets as early as the appearance of the first tooth in your toddler. So, make sure to wipe the gums of your baby using either a clean and moist washcloth or a fresh gauze pad. After the first tooth appears, start brushing it twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush. To keep your baby protected against dental fluorosis, use either a toothpaste that’s free of fluoride or use just a small amount of paste (like that of the size of a pea). You may even use just water for brushing the baby’s teeth. You would do well to begin the routine of flossing when you observe that spaces have occurred between the joint of two teeth.
Take your child to a dentist as soon as he/she is at the age of one. Though the age of one may sound a bit early to visit a dentist, the first visit is likely to be a short one where the dentist counts teeth and spots any premature signs of problem. Dr. LaFrom feels that despite taking good care of your toddler's teeth, cavities may still set in. So, visiting a good dentist would ensure that your child's baby teeth stay in superb shape.

The risk of tooth decay sets as early as the appearance of the first tooth in your toddler. So, make sure to wipe the gums of your baby using either a clean and moist washcloth or a fresh gauze pad. After the first tooth appears, start brushing it twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush. To keep your baby protected against dental fluorosis, use either a toothpaste that’s free of fluoride or use just a small amount of paste (like that of the size of a pea). You may even use just water for brushing the baby’s teeth. You would do well to begin the routine of flossing when you observe that spaces have occurred between the joint of two teeth.
Take your child to a dentist as soon as he/she is at the age of one. Though the age of one may sound a bit early to visit a dentist, the first visit is likely to be a short one where the dentist counts teeth and spots any premature signs of problem.

Caring for your dentures the right way
If you want to avoid spending money on expensive and unnecessary denture repair, you need to take proper care of your dentures. Even your oral hygiene depends on how well you care for your dentures.
According to Dr. LaFrom – one of the leading dentists in Cupertino, it’s important to handle your dentures carefully as they are fragile. You also need to brush your dentures daily to remove stains, dental plaque or food articles. Having good oral hygiene also helps to keep your dentures sparkling. Remember – you should brush your tongue, gums and palate every morning before inserting your dentures as this will not only stimulate circulation in your gums and mouth, but will also prevent the build-up of plaque.
To prevent your dentures from losing their shape or drying out, you should keep them moist by soaking them in either water or a cleansing solution recommended by your dentist. However, don’t use hot water to soak your dentures as distortion may set in if you do so.
Feeling of soreness and minor discomfort in your lips, cheeks and tongue are quite natural when you start wearing your dentures for the first time. That's why it's vital, feels Dr. LaFrom, to have regular appointments with your dentist so that he/she can bring the necessary adjustments in your dentures’ fittings to improve your level of comfort. Such regular follow-up appointments with your dentist will also help you steer clear of serious problems, which may have occurred otherwise in the future.
To know more about the steps to take proper care of your dentures, you can visit our website and contact Dr. LaFrom for an appointment. The patient feedback speaks highly about Dr. LaFrom, as reflected by the words of Ron: This is a very honest and well-run dental practice, and it is very friendly. I am particularly impressed with the more advanced perspectives on treating and preventing tooth problems. Dr. Randy is thorough and is committed to patient satisfaction. Keep up the good work and keep looking for new ways to provide treatment! Thanks!

Improve your Smile
By making it a regular habit of visiting your dentist, you can improve and retain your smile. You would surely love to have that pearly white smile, won’t you? Well – your dentist will not only ensure your oral hygiene but will also bring subtle changes or major repairs, which in turn will improve your smile. There are many advanced options and techniques these days to treat teeth that are chipped, discolored, missing or have been damaged in some accident. Your dentist can modify the length of your teeth, close spaces between them, reshape them, restore short teeth or those that have been worn out. According to Dr. LaFrom – one of the leading dentists in Cupertino, some common dental procedures that are used for such cases include bonding, bleaching, crowns, veneers, reshaping as well as contouring.
Bonding makes use of material that resembles the color of teeth, to either change the color of teeth or to plug in gaps between them. If you want to hide some stains on your teeth or wish for that pearly white smile, you can opt for bleaching - a common chemical process that’s utilized to whiten teeth.
Crowns cover a tooth, thereby helping in the restoration of its normal appearance and shape. Though crowns are one of the most time-consuming methods, they stay for the longest period of time amongst all other cosmetic restorations. Veneers are an alternative to crowns, but they will cost more to the patient. Veneers are slim sections of plastic or porcelain put over the front teeth in order to change the shape or color of your teeth.
If you want to change the shape, length, or position of your teeth, you may opt for tooth reshaping and contouring. To know more about improving your smile and to contact Dr. LaFrom, you may visit our website
In the words of Dave, a patient of Dr. LaFrom: You are the nicest medical people I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. Everyone gets an "A".

Correct your posture to keep headaches and jaw pain away
If you are suffering from pain in the lower jaw and frequent headaches, it’s time to examine your posture and ask your dentist if you are affected by about temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Many people with poor posture don’t recognize that they are placing their spine in such a position that it’s causes the jaw joint to get stressed. As people hunch over or slouch, the lower jaw moves forward, which in turn makes it difficult for the upper and lower teeth to fit together suitably. Moreover, such poor posture also makes the skull to move back on the spinal column. This movement creates stress on joints, muscles, and bones. If the situation is left untreated, it can give rise to inflammation and pain in muscles as well as joints when the patient opens and closes the mouth.
According to Dr. LaFrom – one of the leading dentists in Cupertino, it’s important to have a good posture. Yet, many people often are unaware of how poor posture can influence their oral health.

Why should I go to a dentist?
Patients of all ages need to go to dentists as they are the primary dental care providers. Besides offering you preventive services, your dentist will also take the responsibility for your overall oral health needs that includes the identification, treatment, management and coordination of the required processes. In case your condition needs the services of a specialist, your dentist can arrange for the appropriate referrals and ensure that there’s continuity in the maintenance of your oral health care.
If you want to maintain healthy teeth and gums, you should not defer your regular visits to the dentist. Remember- a regular visit to your dentist is the key to good oral health. According to Dr. LaFrom – one of the leading dentists in Cupertino, gum disease and tooth decay are the biggest risks for adults who neglect receiving regular dental care. He suggests that it’s necessary to build a habit of regular checkups for children, so that they continue with the habit even when they grow older. If children are taken regularly to dentists as early as when they are one year old, it will protect them from problems like teething irritations, baby bottle tooth decay, prolonged thumb sucking and some other gum diseases. Such an early check up will also help them to fight cavities during their early years.
Remember – visiting a dentist regularly will help you maintain your oral health and get small problems treated at the first instance before they become bigger and more problematic ones. So, you should go to a dentist on a regular basis. Perhaps you too would echo the feelings of Kurt one day, who says: You are the best quality Dental Experts and the best people and personalities of any office facility. I really enjoy coming to the Dentist and to see you guys. I could not be happier.

Dr. LaFrom - Leading dentists in Cupertino
The need to whiten your teeth
Just like different people have different skin and hair color, the color of teeth also varies from person to person. The teeth of some people may be more yellow than others, while a few may have teeth that have acquired a yellow tinge due to aging. According to Dr. LaFrom – one of the leading dentists in Cupertino, there are many factors that can affect your natural tooth color. Some of the common factors are the build up of tartar deposits and plaque, internal discoloration or surface stains caused by aging, intake of an excessive amount of fluoride in the initial stages of tooth formation, treating the teeth with antibiotic tetracycline when the person was a baby, and excessive consumption of tea, coffee, red wine, colas or tobacco. If these situations sound familiar, you may opt for a teeth whitening session.
A word of caution though: Ensure that you consult with your dentist prior to opting for any whitening procedure, as only he or she can assess properly if a particular treatment would be suitable for you or not. You can visit our website (http://dentist-cupertino.com) for more information on teeth whitening sessions and to contact Dr. LaFrom.
If you are still unsure about what to do, perhaps the words of Gloria could help you decide: Dr. LaFrom and everyone on the staff is very professional and always makes you feel comfortable.

Watch what you eat to preserve teeth
There are a lot of people who seem to be at a loss to find out what it is that could be causing them dental cavities as well as lots of pain, bother and expenses. Dr. LaFrom – one of the leading dentists in Cupertino, has some interesting instances to mention when it comes to cavities. It’s been seen that what passes off as health supplements or medicines could actually be causing a lot of harm to the dental health of a person.
It has been observed that a common culprit is antacid. Most of the people think nothing before popping a couple of antacids whenever they face any digestive problems, oblivious to the fact that antacids are coated with sugar. Though it may be mentioned as dextrose on the label, it is in fact, sugar. So, popping such antacids on a regular basis gives rise to dental problems.
It is not only the antacids that are to be blamed. Some of the other suspects are cough drops, throat lozenges and syrups that have sugar in some form or the other. Many of these are disguised in the form of corn syrup that could actually lead to cavities. So, to steer clear of such things and enjoy good oral health, please contact Dr. LaFrom to learn more about which foods and substances to avoid in order to prevent cavities.
