This lovely lady had always been self-conscious of her misaligned teeth and was not excited about the prospect of wearing braces and the length of time involved. Porcelain veneers in three weeks gave her the beautiful smile she had always dreamed of. She received instant orthodontics but with prettier teeth than she had naturally. A cosmetic gum lift helped show less gum and a more pleasing smile. As we strive to provide the finest in Glendale and Phoenix cosmetic dentistry, allowing patients to smile freely and receive compliments of how great a smile they have provides great satisfaction.

December 3, 2007 is now a watershed moment in the history of fluoridation in the United States.  At that moment, California’s largest water agency completed its efforts to fluoridate the water that reaches some 18 million residents in southern California - the single largest expansion of fluoridation in the U. S.

The California Dental Associaiton Foundaton worked with the California Fluoridation Workgroup - a broad coalition of experts and stakeholders - to bring the issue to the MWD board of directors.  They provided scientific, educational and financial support to assist the water agency in approving tnd implmenting the plan.

Nearly one in five adults or more than 40 million Americans say they do not have adequate access to the health care they need because they can’t afford it.  This is according to the Health, United States, 2007 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The report indicates that nearly 20% of adults said they needed but could not afford one or more medical, oral health, prescription medicine, mental health or vision services.

Dental data cited in the report:

Sixty one percent of adults in 2001 had dental coverage compared with 86% of adults with medical insurance.

On average Americans paid out-of-pocket for about half of the costs of their dental care in 2003.

About one-quarter of persons aged 65 and older were edentulous in 2005.
