While you may think that some loss of teeth is inevitable with aging, it is actually possible for all of your teeth to last a lifetime. One of the ways you can achieve this goal is to avoid periodontal disease (“peri” – around; “odont” – tooth), which is caused by bacteria that attack the ...
Numerous studies have shown that using an appropriate mouth rinse, in conjunction with regular brushing and flossing, is an easy and effective way for you to improve your overall oral health. As part of a regular program of oral hygiene, mouth rinses (which are sometimes called mouthwashes) can be effective ...
Teeth can last a lifetime if you take care of them right — and the best time to start is just as soon as they begin appearing. By establishing good oral hygiene routines for your children right from the start, you'll give them the best chance of keeping their teeth healthy — forever.

There's a new technology that's (literally) putting a smile on plenty of young faces: A system of clear, removable aligners made especially for teens called Invisalign Teen®! If you (or a teenager you know) are a candidate for this treatment, you might find it's the best fit for your lifestyle: It lets ...

What do orthodontists do?

If you want to replace a missing or failing tooth with a state-of-the-art dental implant (watch dental implant video), your dentist will first need to make sure that you have sufficient bone in your jaw to anchor the implant. This is true no matter what type of tooth is being replaced. However, if it ...
Cavities are little holes in teeth that can eventually cause big problems. They form when tooth-eroding acid attacks a tooth's protective outer covering (enamel). This acid mainly comes from two sources: your diet, and certain oral bacteria that thrive in the absence of effective oral hygiene. If cavities ...
You've no doubt heard it said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In dentistry, you might say it's worth two pounds. Maybe even thousands of dollars. That's because dental problems can become exponentially more expensive — and painful — the longer they go unaddressed. Fortunately, ...

Dear Patient:
We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot in the last few months. We are now fully open and here to serve your dental needs. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same, and that is our sincere commitment to your safety and well-being.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice, and hopefully you have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about some old and new procedures we are implementing post pandemic closure.
Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association® (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies very closely so that we are up to date on any new ruling or guidance that may be issued.
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:
When you arrive, you will enter the office, where we will take your temperature and oxygen saturation level. Please only bring personal belongings needed for the appointment.
You will note our waiting room has just three chairs, which are now metal, all 6 feet apart. There is a sanitation station in the reception room. We no longer offer magazines and children’s toys since those items are difficult to disinfect.
Please remember that as circumstances change, we will do our best to keep you safe.
We look forward to seeing all of you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you and every patient safe in our practice. If you have a dental emergency, please call the office so that we can make determinations within the allowed guidelines. Keep posted to our website, www.familydentistrylexingtonma.com, for further information as it becomes available to us.
Thank you for being our patient. You have all been so kind and understanding in these very trying times for a small business, and we want you to know we appreciate all of the love and support you have shown us. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.
