Are you tired of having yellow, stained teeth, despite your strict daily dental hygiene? You are not alone. There are millions of people suffering from the same problem. So if you brush, floss and visit your dentist regularly then why are your teeth still discolored? This happens because the outer layers of your teeth get stained over the years by consumption of beverages with caffeine, soda, wine and smoking. When these outside sources of staining are left to sit on the teeth all day until your next brushing, the dentin on your teeth becomes yellowish or darkened. According to Dr. Abe Katz of Dentistry By Design in Herndon, VA, the best way to help your stained discolored teeth is with one of the easiest cosmetic dentistry procedures, professional tooth whitening.

Erectile Dysfunction and Obstructive Sleep Apnea | Purcellville, VA

Filed under: Blog — JakeS @ 9:14 pm

cpap-man-sleepingAre you feeling tired and worn down?  There are numerous reasons why we sleep badly, from insomnia to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).  Regardless of the reason, lack of sleep or lack of quality sleep can make us unlikable people to be around, and continued lack of sleep has been linked to more serious problems like diabetes.  Actually, difficulties sleeping often point to other underlying problems, even ones that seem to be unrelated to sleep — like impotence, for example.

For men, at least this seems to be an additional issue.  A new study links sleeping disorders and sexual impotency.  Specifically, the study looked into the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and erectile dysfunction.  OSA afflicts more than 12 million Americans and is characterized by repeated stops and starts of breathing during sleep when throat muscles relax and block the airway.  If left untreated, those with sleep apnea suffer from poor quality sleep and chronic sleep deprivation which can lead to health issues that can be life-threatening including weight gain, diabetes, and cardiovascular problems.

Pay Attention to What You Eat After Teeth Whitening Procedures | Herndon, VA

Following a teeth whitening procedure, Dr. Abraham Katz of Herndon, VA will advise you to watch what you eat since many types of food and drink can stain your teeth. Consumption of products such as tobacco, soy sauce, soft drinks and wine will eventually stain teeth, thus consumption should be limited or avoided if white teeth are desired. However, there are certain foods and drinks that can actually help you maintain white teeth. For example, firm fruits such as apples, green beans, cauliflower, carrots and celery will scrub your teeth while you chew as well as promote the flow of saliva which protects teeth. Dairy products high in calcium will keep teeth white and the lactic acid in those products will help prevent tooth decay.

Call Dr. Abraham Katz today to schedule an appointment and keep your teeth radiant and healthy. Read More
