Zoom AP has just arrived to Promenade Court Dental Health Group!

Hi all!

I feel like a proud papa! Just got the shipment of the latest Zoom chairside tooth whitening! Called Zoom Advanced Power (Zoom AP). This technology promises to have whiter teeth in a shorter period of time. More details to follow but I wanted to post a picture of the machine today. This one is a bit of a close-up in the room (operatory) we anticipate to turn into a bit of a "whitening center".

Helpful Bacteria in the Fight Against Tooth and Body Odor?!

Hi all,

Just saw this article on MSN, basically saying that the bacteria from yogurt may be able to reduce the numbers of "bad" bacteria (S. Mutans) in the mouth by over 50 times!

We may see this technology in the future in toothpaste and mouthwashes, here's the teaser:

Chewing gum, toothpaste and deodorant might soon contain beneficial bacteria to fight tooth decay and underarm stench.

Strepptococcus mutans, or S. Mutans, is a bacterium that causes tooth decay. S. Mutans sticks to the surface of teeth, producing an aggressive acid that breaks down the enamel.
The bacteria found in yogurt might come to the rescue. In the journal Chemistry & Industry, scientists report that a new strain of lactobacillus called L. anti-caries, forces S. Mutans to clump together, preventing them from becoming attached to the tooth surface.

Take care all!

Repair Teeth with Ultrasound

Hi everyone!

Here's a facinating article that shows that ultrasound waves may help in regenerating and repairing dental tissue. I've seen different versions of this article saying that treatment times are as short as 20 minutes/day over 12 weeks (I'll try to verify this). Can growing teeth in total be far behind?

Here's the link

My kudos to the researchers at U of Alberta, fantastic work!
