In the growing recession we ask ourselves: “What can we do for our patients?”

For the first time in many years we will not increase our office fees. In spite of the growing cost of materials, labor and services we decided to keep our fees the same to make treatment accessible for you. As always we offer No Interest payment plans, Care Credit, and we would be happy to assist you with your insurance if you should have any questions regarding unused benefits.

Here at Tyson’s Dental we go the extra mile to make you smile!

“Recently I had a dental problem and decided to call Tyson’s Dental Associates. I had work done there in the past and was soon scheduled to see Dr. Banzon. First I learned that their location had changed, and when I arrived, I was met by Susan, who gave me a tour of the office and made me feel very welcome. Daisy took some x-rays, and Dr.. Banzon told me the tooth needed to be extracted and would require a Dental Surgeon.

She then made an appointment for me and it was taken care of that afternoon. Everyone went above and beyond all expectations to help me feel welcome. I would highly recommend this group to anyone needing any type of dental service. ”

“I had a dental cleaning and check-up this morning, and wanted to take a minute to thank you for the care I received from your office. I always feel like Dr. Alex and my dental hygienist take good care of my teeth and keep me well informed about possible concerns and what I should do to keep my teeth healthy. I have to admit I’ve always felt a little apprehensive going to the dentist, but I feel that I am in good hands at Tyson’s Dental. Thank you. ”

Sincerely,
- Brian H.

“It was the largest project in my life! I visited Dr. Osinovsky’s office for over two years. The cost was equal to the price of a new Mercedes but I do not regret it. Now thanks to my dental work I can eat everything I couldn’t with my original teeth!! I feel younger, healthier and happier!! The office atmosphere was always pleasant and made me feel comfortable. As a result I will recommend Dr. Osinovsky to everyone who has challenging dental problems.”

Tooth and gum problems can happen to anyone. A sticky film of germs, called plaque, builds on your teeth. People with diabetes who have high glucose levels help germs, also called bacteria, grow. Then you can get red, sore, and swollen gums that bleed when you brush your teeth. These are the first signs of gum disease (gingivitis). Gum disease can lead to periodontitis, which is an infection that involves gums and bone that hold the teeth in place. If the infection gets worse you can loose your teeth.

People with diabetes can have tooth and gum problems more often if their blood glucose stays high. High blood glucose can make tooth and gum problems worse.

How can you keep your teeth and gums healthy?

• Keep your blood glucose as close to normal as possible
• Use dental floss at least once a day. Flossing helps prevent the buildup of plaque on your teeth and clean the areas where toothbrush normally can not reach. Using a sawing motion, gently bring the floss between the teeth, scraping from bottom to top several times.
• Brush your teeth after each meal and snack. Use a soft toothbrush.
• If you wear false teeth, keep them clean.
• Call your dentist if you have following problems: bleeding gums, gums that pull away from your teeth, a sore tooth or soreness from your dentures.
• Get your teeth cleaned and your gums checked by your dentist at least twice a year.
• If your dentist tells you about a problem, take care of it right away.
• If you smoke, talk with your doctor about ways to quit smoking.

Mother: Has your tooth stopped hurting yet?
Son: I don’t know. The dentist kept it.
