Ambler, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/23/2013 -- Serving as a dentist in Harrisburg, Perferred Dental Network LLC is pleased to announce the addition of a new educational video on crowns. A crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth to improve its appearance and strength. Crowns are cemented on top of the existing tooth giving a complete natural appearance at and around the gum line.

Dental crowns can be used for several reasons including, but not limited to, protecting weak teeth, restore a broken tooth, help cover a weak tooth that has a large filling and cannot support itself any longer, for cosmetic purposes, or to cover a dental implant. Crowns can be made from stainless steel, metals, ceramic, porcelain, or resin.

Stainless steel crowns are a type of crown that are prefabricated and does not need to be made personally for a patient in a lab. Stainless steel crowns are usually temporary to protect a tooth or filling while a permanent crown is manufactured out of another material. Stainless steel crowns are popular for children when they need a crown for a baby tooth, as they don't require multiple dental visits and will ultimately fall out when the baby tooth it lost. Other metals that can be used gold, palladium, nickel, or chromium. Metal crowns last longer and can withstand everyday biting better than porcelain or ceramic. The only drawback to metal crowns is the color, so it's a good choice for a back molar.

Porcelain or ceramic crowns provide a good color match for the patients existing teeth and are a great choice for front or visible teeth. Crowns that are made from all porcelain or all ceramic will wear down over time and will also wear down the opposing teeth. Resin crowns are generally the weakest of all and will chip or crack easily, however they can be color matched and provide less wearing to the opposing teeth.

Ambler, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/28/2013 -- Perferred Dental Network LLC is proud to serve both adult and pediatric patients. The professionals at Preferred Dental Network understand the importance of protecting teeth. Furthermore, protecting children's teeth is extremely important. Unfortunately, protecting children's teeth is particularly difficult. Children love their sugars and sweets, but they don't seem to have the same enthusiasm when it comes to dental care. Parents have a unique challenge when it comes to ensuring sufficient oral hygiene for their children. Now, parents have the ability to take advantage of an additional service when taking their children to Perferred Dental Network LLC.

Dental sealants have been proven to help in the prevention of decay and cavities. Dental sealants are essentially a protective coating applied in an effort to act as a barrier between bacteria and teeth. Sealants are typically used with younger children and should first be applied around age six. Sealants can last upwards of five years. Perferred Dental Network LLC also recommends the re-application of sealants at age twelve. Once a child reaches twelve years of age, the second set of molars typically appears and sealants will help to provide additional protection.

Although sealants will not guarantee protection from cavities or other damage, children are much less vulnerable to dental problems after the application of a sealant. Of course regular dental hygiene should be the focal point of any child's dental education. The staff at Perferred Dental Network LLC will be sure to incorporate basic education into a child's office visit. Furthermore, educational videos are available on dental sealants and other topics through Perferred Dental Network LLC's website. Serving as a dentist for Harrisburg, PA, Perferred Dental Network LLC will be happy to discuss dental sealants at length with all of their patients.

Ambler, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/05/2013 -- Perferred Dental Network, LLC is proud to announce that they are now seeing patients in New York and Harrisburg. There are many reasons why seeing a dentist is important, but the main reasons are to maintain a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile. There are many myths regarding cavities and what causes them. One of the biggest myths is that sugar is the main cause of cavities. This is true in part because cavities are actually produced by acid produced by bacteria in one's mouth. The acid is made when eating carbohydrates. Sugar is a carbohydrate therefore activating the bacteria to produce the acid and voila, a cavity is potentially born. The cavity can be prevented because it's not how much sugar one eats, but how long it is left on the teeth.

This dentist in Harrisburg recommends not exposing teeth to too many carbohydrates over a long period of time. So, that candy bar filled with chocolate is not as bad for the cultivation of a pesky cavity, but the soda and other sugary drink many people sip on all day is the culprit.

Acids from bacteria are not the only instigators of cavities. Eating actual acidic foods can also increase one's risk of forming cavities. When talking about acid it sounds like chewing on a battery, but there are many foods like lemons, oranges, citrus juices and other beverages that have high levels of acid in them. These types of acids wear down the protective layer of enamel on teeth and therefore make them more susceptible to cavities. This dentist in New York will take the time to examine their patients' teeth at the time of their appointments to determine if their enamel is wearing away increasing their risk for cavities. It is important to see a dentist regularly for cleanings and x-rays to prevent any potential issues and to keep smiles beautiful and healthy. Call the Perferred Dental Network today to schedule an appointment with a professional dentist.
