A dental crown is like a “cap” that replaces missing parts of a tooth. If a tooth has been cracked, damaged, or has a large filling in it, a crown serves to reinforce and protect what remains of the tooth.  Many dentists in Columbus, Ohio create and place crowns. What’s the difference between a crown and a big filling? Big fillings are more susceptible to allow the tooth to split or further break down.  A crown prevents these things from happening to the tooth. How long does a big filling last vs. a crown? Some big fillings may only last … Continue reading →

We as Hygienists at Grandview Dental Care try to stay up all of the new dental products that hit the market for office use and for retail. Sometimes the amount of products is very overwhelming. Usually once a year I find a product that I love and recommend to all of my patients for them to try at home to help with their home dental care. My new favorite product is Listerine Zero. It has been on the market for about 6 months. This product is a wonderful mouth rinse that helps kill gingivitis causing bacteria without the burn of … Continue reading →

If I have periodontal disease why doesn’t it hurt?  This is an excellent question, and one that we get a lot at our Columbus, Ohio dental office. I try to relate periodontal disease to how my patients think about monitoring their blood pressure. If you are not checking your blood pressure you may not be aware that your blood pressure is high until it’s really high and you wind up in an emergency situation.  High blood pressure “doesn’t hurt” until it’s too late. Periodontal disease doesn’t hurt either but if you put off dental care until it hurts, you risk … Continue reading →

When I graduated from high school, I still was not sure what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. So instead of thinking of a career, I chose to think about what type of lifestyle I wanted in the future. Three very clear choices came to mind. First, I knew I wanted to be a mother and get married someday. Secondly, in case I did not find Mr. Right, I wanted to be able to support myself financially. Lastly, I wanted to love going to work everyday. Where in the world would a career allow me to … Continue reading →

The temperature is rising in Columbus and so  is our thirst for relief. Remember to think about what you are grabbing to beat the heat. Over the past several years, Columbus dentists have seen an increase of cavities due to a large consumption of sports drinks. We used to only worry about sodas but with high sugar energy and sports drinks on the market, the risk is getting higher. Water and sugar free drinks between meals is the best defense. Cavities are caused by the frequency of exposure to sugar not the amount of sugar. So with every sip of the … Continue reading →

Columbus Ohio non-metal crowns One of the most common questions our patients have about their dental treatment is about what materials we are using to create their fillings, crowns, or veneers. The concern is usually about the use of metal based materials.  The original dental restorations were gold, silver, mercury, and other metals combined together to make crowns or fillings.  Dentists have used these materials for hundreds of years, and many still use them today. While these materials do make quality restorations, we are  a Columbus dentist that believes the metal-free materials we have today are better. We use composite … Continue reading →
