A Dental Implant Dentist Clinton Township Patients Can Trust: Dr. Mindy Salzberg-Siegel

August 11, 2014

Filed under: Dental Implants,Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — tntadmin @ 9:42 am

Dental implants are widely regarded as the preferred method of tooth replacement today, providing unparalleled structural stability and a seamless, natural appearance. A dental implant is a small, biocompatible post that is surgically placed within the gums and the bone of the jaw where a missing tooth once stood. The implant serves as a sturdy anchor to which a prosthetic restoration is affixed. This restoration may be a single crown to replace one tooth, a bridge to replace multiple teeth in a row, or even a complete denture to take the place of a full arch of missing teeth. The end result is a beautifully restored smile that looks, feels, and functions naturally and comfortably.

With more than 25 years of experience treating patients with complex needs, Dr. Mindy Salzberg-Siegel is your trusted source for all aesthetic, implant, and restorative dentistry treatment. We understand that particularly complicated cases – including those that require full-mouth reconstruction with dental implants – warrant specialized care and customized treatment plans. That is why Dr. Salzberg-Siegel has supplemented her already extensive education with postgraduate programs at the Seattle Institute for Advanced Dental Education, the Dawson Center for Advanced Dentistry, and the highly revered Kois Center in Seattle.

Dr. Salzberg-Siegel’s training at the Kois Center further honed and advanced her skills and experience in the field of implant dentistry; in fact, she hopes to become a mentor at the Kois Center in order to help other dentists as they undergo their training there. Her true passion lies in restoring and rebuilding smiles, utilizing the latest in dental implant technology to help her patients reclaim their lives with advanced techniques and an artistic, caring touch.

Cavity Detection, Prevention & Treatment with the CAMBRA System

July 21, 2014

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , — tntadmin @ 11:40 am

Tooth decay (also known as dental caries) is the most widespread chronic disease in children, adolescents, and adults in the U.S. Left untreated, dental caries can lead to an entire host of potentially more serious oral health issues, making it one of the primary concerns for both dentists and their patients. At Mindy Salzberg-Siegel, DDS, PC in Clinton Township, MI, Dr. Salzberg-Siegel and her team utilize advanced technology and a proven anti-cavity hygiene approach called CAMBRA (Caries Management By Risk Assessment). In conjunction with this system, we offer products from CariFree that specifically target the underlying issues behind recurrent tooth decay.

Benefits of CAMBRA and CariFree Technology

The primary advantage of the CAMBRA model is that it essentially emphasizes the need to consider all contributing factors in the case of dental caries as a state of disease. The patient’s individual level of risk – as well as the appropriate methods of treatment and prevention – is paramount to successful recovery from dental caries and the complications they may cause. The proven CAMBRA approach, utilized every day by Dr. Salzberg-Siegel and her team, takes into account the disease of dental caries in its entirety. It focuses on healing and reversing damage caused by chronic decay problems in a way that simultaneously aids in the prevention of further harm.

At Mindy Salzberg-Siegel, DDS, PC, we strive every day to help patients with recurrent decay overcome their condition in a way that actually suits their lifestyle. This is why we incorporate CariFree professional grade products into our patients’ oral hygiene regimens. This revolutionary line of anti-cavity products effectively alters and improves the oral environment to promote a healthier pH balance and to encourage the development of beneficial bacteria. CariFree rinses, tooth gels, oral wipes, sprays, and gum are especially beneficial to patients who:

  • Experience chronic halitosis (bad breath)
  • Suffer from gum disease
  • Have cavities
  • Have xerostomia (dry mouth)
  • Experience difficulty properly brushing their teeth
  • Simply want to ensure the long-term health of their teeth and gums

Tooth Decay Checklist: When is it Time for Concern?

When it comes to your risk of developing tooth decay, ask yourself these questions:

  1. Do you ever notice plaque buildup on your teeth?
  2. Have you had a cavity in the past 24 months?
  3. Do you ever notice that your mouth is dry?
  4. Do you snack in between meals?
  5. Do you wear any type of oral appliance?
  6. Do you smoke?
  7. Do you have acid reflux?
  8. Are you diabetic?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it would be a good idea to contact Dr. Salzberg-Siegel’s office for a CariFree assessment. It might just be your key to success in decreasing your risk of cavities and improving your oral health. To learn more, read about CariFree and CAMBRA here.

Experience the difference that a genuine commitment to your oral health can make for you. Our state-of-the-art dental practice in Clinton Township, MI proudly serves families from throughout the surrounding areas as well, including Shelby, Fraser, Mount Clemens, Sterling Heights, and more.

We Hope All Our Patients from Clinton Township and beyond are Enjoying the Holiday Season

December 3, 2013

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , — tntadmin @ 3:28 pm

Thanksgiving is behind us, but the holiday season is far from over. From now until the end of the year, you can look forward to plenty of twinkling lights, decorated Christmas trees, and the joy that comes with sharing your time, and more, with family and friends.

Food is of course a major part of the holiday season. Everyone has a favorite holiday dish, that one special recipe that you have to have for Thanksgiving or for Christmas dinner. You’ll also find plenty of delicious desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth this time of year.

From all of us at Dr. Mindy Salzberg-Siegel’s office, we want you to enjoy everything December has to offer, including those holiday favorites. There are many times throughout the year when it’s good to pass on seconds, but when you’re spending time with loved ones, you should enjoy the moment and who you’re with. Just for these few remaining weeks, give yourself permission to splurge a little.

Of course, splurging on seconds doesn’t mean putting aside your normal brushing and flossing routine. If anything, we need to be more vigilant during December when it comes to great home care. That’s especially true for parents of young children.

To help you and your little ones enjoy good oral health this month, see what the knowledgeable folks at Oral B have to say about caring for teeth when sweets are in abundance. Some of those tips include:

  • Make flossing more fun with special flossers decorated with a character your little one loves.
  • Limit how often and when your child consumes sweets.
  • Take advantage of the oral health benefits of dairy by serving your little one milk or cheese alongside treats.

Additionally, if you’ll be doing any baking this month, try substituting sugar for xylitol, a natural sweetener found in plant fibers. Xylitol reacts to the bacteria in our mouths differently than sugar does.

Do you want to schedule an early 2014 visit with Dr. Salzberg-Siegel? Call our Clinton Township office for an appointment. We’re happy to serve families from Sterling Heights, Macomb, Shelby Township, and nearby communities with excellent general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry.

Dr. Salzberg-Siegel Prevent Halloween Cavities with CariFree

October 15, 2013

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , — tntadmin @ 7:49 am

Halloween is just weeks away. Children get excited about it, but so do adults. After all, who doesn’t like a little candy from time to time?

As fun as Halloween is, though, it’s important to remember how sugar affects teeth. While sugar itself doesn’t cause cavities, the interaction between sugar and certain bacteria does. When these two mix, they create an acidic environment that encourages decay and cavities. Children are especially at risk, because they’re just learning to brush.

Thankfully, with the products offered by CariFree, Dr. Salzberg-Siegel can help patients of all ages enjoy better protection from bacteria and decay. CariFree is an innovative system designed to stop tooth decay before it starts.

How Does CariFree work?

CariFree works by promoting remineralization. When our teeth decay, the protective layer of enamel on the outside weakens. Remineralization is about strengthening enamel with the minerals it needs to stand up against bacteria and acid.

During your family’s visits to our Clinton Township office, we can determine you and your child’s risk for decay with a quick, painless test. First, we’ll swab your teeth to collect a small amount of plaque. Looking at your sample will help us determine how many cavity-causing bacteria are in your mouth. If you or your child has a high level of bacteria or is at risk for developing a cavity, Dr. Salzberg-Siegel will recommend a treatment plan with one or more CariFree products, plus nutritional advice. We may even recommend a general and restorative dental service.

Of course, we want our patients to have a good time on Halloween, so don’t feel guilty about enjoying a few pieces of candy—just remember to brush and floss afterwards. You may also want to substitute traditional candy for candy sweetened with xylitol. This naturally-occurring sweetener doesn’t react with bacteria the way normal sugar does. As a result, your family and your friends in the community can still have fun this Halloween without putting your oral health at risk.

Would you like to have your family tested for cavities and bacteria before or after Halloween? Call Dr. Salzberg-Siegel’s Clinton Township office for an appointment. We serve patients from Sterling Heights, Macomb, Shelby Township, and all surrounding areas.

Spring Has Sprung and the Bacteria Are Blooming

May 10, 2013

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , — tntadmin @ 3:22 pm

Every year, the warmer temperatures of spring signal the start of something new—fresh flowers, green grass, and refreshing rainfall. Not everything comes just once a year though.

When it comes to your smile, the bacteria in your mouth are always blooming (which the ADA talks about here). Two kinds in particular are responsible for a common dental problem like cavities: Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus. Fueled by sugar and other carbs, these bacteria multiply, triggering the demineralization of tooth enamel and causing cavities.

Keep Your Smile Healthy with a Regular Home Care Routine

To control these bacteria, and the resulting decay, one of the best things you can do is maintain a regular home care routine.  We recommend brushing twice a day, flossing at least once, and using a trusted antibacterial or fluoride mouthwash.

As effective as this routine can be, though, it can be undermined by not brushing for at least two minutes. Toothbrushes from Sonicare make this easy with a two-minute timer, while some children’s brushes are designed to play a song for two minutes, giving your son or daughter a fun way to brush for the recommended amount of time.

Flossing may not seem that important compared to brushing, but it is. Flossing helps you remove food particles from between teeth. When these particles aren’t removed, they’ll break down over time, leading to an increased risk of gum disease and decay

Regular Visits for Yourself and Your Family

In addition to brushing and flossing at home, regular visits are also important. We recommend seeing Dr. Salzberg-Siegel twice a year for an oral exam and professional cleaning. We can also use products like CariFree and Oxyfresh to provide more comprehensive care. CariFree measures the amount of cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth while Oxyfresh targets the sulphur compounds that cause bad breath.

On top of all this, Dr. Salzberg-Siegel can also advise you on how to set a good example for your child at home. One way is by making it a point to brush together until your child is old enough to brush on his or her own.

Is It Time for Your Family’s Next Checkup?

To schedule a routine visit for yourself or your child, call our Clinton Township dental office. During your visit Dr. Salzberg-Siegel can talk to you about your home care routine and can recommend changes or improvements if need be. Our office serves patients from communities all around Clinton Township.

Let’s Keep Our New Year’s Resolutions to Get Healthy!

April 3, 2013

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , — tntadmin @ 11:09 am

For many of us, we have the best intentions to make lifestyle changes when a new year begins. As the days, weeks and months pass by it is easy to break this promise we make to ourselves. It is so important to remember the consequences of doing this can be life-changing.
We are here to help you get back on track! One way that you can gain motivation, insight and accountability is by using Smartphone apps. Your plan is then always with you giving alerts and tips throughout your busy day. Here are some suggestions from Dr. Oz and his colleagues as to some of the best apps to try: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/health-apps-work-pt-1

Healthy eating, daily workouts, and getting an annual physical are all good ways to help your physical and mental well-being. One of the most important areas of your body, your mouth, is often overlooked in this process. Often times this missing link is the key in getting many systemic health issues under control.

As recently reported by the Journal of Dental Research and the CDC, close to half of American adults have some form of gum disease. At the Clinton Township dental office of Dr. Mindy Salzberg-Siegel, we offer several effective forms of periodontal therapy to help you restore your oral health. Scaling and Root Planing, Arestin antibiotic placement and Peridex Medicated Irrigation are only a few of the methods used to help with Periodontal disease.

Not only will this type of oral health check up improve your overall health, but give some insight into causes of bad breath that others may not be telling you about. The Oxyfresh Fresh Breath System is offered by dental professionals to assist in eliminating bad mouth odors by breaking down volatile sulphur compounds in the mouth. This almost tasteless rinse can help fight bad breath and help you feel fresh throughout the entire day. Please call our office to find out how Dr. Mindy Salzberg-Siegel can help 586-416-1444.

With Another School Year around the Corner, Have You Scheduled Your Child’s Back-to-School Visit?

August 4, 2012

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , — tntadmin @ 7:33 am

It seems like August just started, but already parents everywhere are getting their kids ready for a new school year. That means shopping for new clothes, stocking up on pens, paper, and binders, and looking for a sturdy new backpack.

With everything that’s going on, though, what can easily get left out of all this is something that is really quite important: a back-to-school dental visit with Dr. Mindy Salzberg-Siegel.

The reason back-to-school dental visits are so important is that the school year, which for a lot of students runs from August through May, is a hectic time for parents and children. Not only is there homework for kids to keep up with, there are also extracurricular activities like sports, theater, and band. Finding the time for a dental exam in between all that can be difficult, which is why it’s better to do it now than put it off till later.

What happens during a back-to-school dental visit?

First, Dr. Salzberg-Siegel will check for signs of common oral health problems, like cavities or gum disease. These are issues that should be treated sooner rather than later, when treatment will be more conservative and more comfortable.

Our Clinton Township team isn’t just interested in helping young patients treat problems, though. We’re also concerned about prevention. During the second part of your child’s back-to-school visit, we’ll take steps to prevent these common oral health problems through a professional cleaning, in addition to recommending home care tips, and, if we need to, discussing treatment options.

Are you ready to schedule your child’s back-to-school visit with Dr. Salzberg-Siegel? Call our Clinton Township dental office today. We’re proud to have been serving our community with great family dental care for more than 25 years.

The Importance of Freedom

July 13, 2012

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , — tntadmin @ 8:05 am

We’ve just celebrated another Fourth of July, and from all of us at Dr. Salzberg-Siegel’s office, we hope you had a fun and safe holiday.

What’s more, with the Fourth still fresh on our minds, we’d like to use today’s post to talk a little bit about freedom.

Americans put a high value on freedom. It’s part of what makes our nation so great. Besides having the freedom to explore all the great corners of our country, freedom gives our children the chance to pursue their dreams, and makes it possible for all of us to live according to our beliefs, consciences, and talents.

That’s not all we’re talking about when we talk about freedom, though. You also have the freedom to choose your own dentist instead of having one chosen for you by your insurance. That means you can see the doctor who will give you the best care.

That’s incredibly important!

You want a dentist who is committed to protecting smiles from common problems like cavities.  At Dr. Mindy Salzberg-Siegel’s office in Clinton Township, we do that every day using CareFree’s great products. With CariFree, we can help our patients correct the bacterial imbalance that causes cavities to form, creating healthy smiles in the process.

If you’d like to know more about CariFree, or you’d like to learn more about cavities themselves, we hope you’ll visit the CariFree website. There, you’ll find a wealth of information on the myths associated with cavities and tips on preventing them. All of this is invaluable information.

We’d also like to invite you to give our Clinton Township dental office a call if it’s time for your next visit. During your appointment we can talk to you about your smile, CariFree’s many products, and tips for keeping your smile clean. Call us today. We’ve been serving patients from Clinton Township and beyond for more than 25 years and we look forward to helping you.
