SmileCareClub

September 30, 2015 by writeradmin

What can you tell me about the Smile Care Club?

Jessica B. – Flagstaff, AZ

Jessica,

The SmileCareClub is, in essence, a do it yourself Invisalign treatment. There are some differences.

  1. Your treatment is not monitered by a dentist, so if something goes wrong, you’re on your own.
  2. A dentist looks at pictures of your teeth, to see if you’re a good candidate. That might work to tell if there is a crowding issue. Unfortunately, he or she is not likely to be able to tell if you have gum disease. That could be a serious issue, because if you have gum disease, the shifting of your teeth could cause them to come loose.
  3. With Invisalign you switch aligners every two weeks, with SmileCareClub every four.

It possible this will work. I would just be concerned about the possibilities of things going wrong and not having an orthodontist or dentist who does orthodontic work to keep his or her eye on things.

Should my sister have gone to an emergency dentist?

September 15, 2015 by writeradmin

My sister was in a car accident where she lost her tooth. She thought it was fine to just save the tooth and see a dentist later. I thought she should have gone to an emergency dentist. Which of us is right?

Jeanette K. – (the right sister)

Jeanette,

Unfortunately, you were right. I only say unfortunately because your sister not listening to you mean she lost any chance of saving her tooth.  You usually have to get to a dentist within thirty minutes to have any chance of saving your tooth. She’ll have needed to keep it moist, either in her cheek or possibly in a glass of milk.

Her dentist would have gotten her in right away. If she didn’t have a dentist an emergency dentist would have seen her.  If you call on your way, they’ll even be ready for you when you get there to give you the best chance of saving your tooth.

At this point for your sister, she’ll have to get a replacement tooth.
