Priorities?

Did you know that $50 billion is the amount spent on dental care, while $100 billion is the amount spent on hair care and $300 billion is the amount spent on lottery tickets! I came across this fact and thought wow, we really need to get our priorities in order!

Invisalign Day!

Roselle Park Dental is holding a very special, one-day event called Invisalign Day. Invisalign is the clear alternative to braces for those who want to straighten their teeth. Roselle Park Dental's Invisalign Special Event includes a free consultation, $500 off with the start of treatment and a complimentary take-home whitening (a $350 value). We will also offer up to 18 months of no-interest financing. The event will be on Tuesday, February 1 from 4 to 8pm. To learn more about Invisalign and this special event, please visit http://www.roselleparkdental.com/. You can also call the dental office at (908) 245-1745 or e-mail us at roselleparkdental@gmail.com. We will be more than happy to answer any of your questions regarding Invisalign and our other dental services.

All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth!

Did you know that the famous song, "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth" was actually written by a music school teacher who noticed his students had at least one front tooth missing? When he asked his students what they wanted for Christmas, Donald Yetter Gardner recalled they answered with a lisp. He wrote the song in 1944 in 30 minutes, and it became an instant hit!

From all of us at Roselle Park Dental, we want to wish you a safe happy and toothfilled holiday season!

Happy Thanksgiving! It's Good for Your Teeth!

I bet you didn't know that some of our favorite Thanksgiving foods help to prevent tooth decay. Compounds within cranberries help prevent plaque from building on your teeth. Also, drinking red wine has shown to have benefits for your teeth. Waste from the red-wine-making process — such as fermented seeds and skins — contains compounds that fight bacteria that aid in tooth decay.

But Thanksgiving foods are not all created equally. Remember to go easy on the sweets or brush your teeth after consuming those goodies to help prevent cavities.

As always, have a happy and safe Turkey Day from Roselle Park Dental, where we provide healthy smiles for a lifetime. Visit our Website for more information about Roselle Park Dental.

Invisalign Day

I just wanted to update everyone in the North Jersey area that we will be conducting an Invisalign Day in January. We will have Invisalign specials for those who come into the office and sign up for treatment. More details will follow.

Your 2010 Dental Benefits May Be Expiring!

Your 2010 dental insurance benefits may be expiring at the end of the year. Be sure to schedule an appointment to maximize your insurance benefits and use any remaining flexible account dollars.

Unlike medical insurance, healthcare flexible spending accounts and most dental benefits do not roll over to the following year. Your unused benefit dollars for 2010will be lost.

We know how busy you and your family are today, but coming in for a regular dental cleaning and exam may help you avoid future dental problems and future expenses. At Roselle Park Dental, we are committed to the prevention of dental disease - and regular exams and cleanings are essential in that effort.

Call us today at (908) 245-1745 to schedule your appointment. If you are uncertain about the status of your dental benefits, we will be happy to contact your carrier on your behalf. Visit our Website to learn more about our dental services. Our dentist welcomes emergencies and offers same day dental care.

Invisalign Preferred Providers Right Here in Union County

As you may know, Dr. Rodriguez has been a preferred provider for Invisalign for more than three years. He has helped many Roselle Park Dental patients achieve a straight, beautiful smile using Invisalign's clear trays - a great alternative to traditional braces. And now, I am also certified in Invisalign so that both Dr. Rodriquez and I can give even more patients the beautiful smile they deserve.

Invisalign uses a series of ultra-thin, clear aligners that are changed out approximately every two weeks. Each clear, removable aligner is custom fitted to your teeth and gradually shifts them into a straighter smile. To learn more about Invisalign, please visit our Website. You may be a candidate for Invisalign if you have crowding, widely spaced teeth, or if you have an overbite, underbite or crossbite.

Don't forget that we can offer Invisalign to all areas of North Jersey. If you want a more straight smile and live in Colonia, Union, Roselle Park, Elizabeth, Linden, Kenilworth, Garwood, Edison or Westfield or any other location, please call Roselle Park Dental and meet with myself or fellow dentist, Dr. Rodriguez, to see if Invisalign is a good option for you.
