Dr. Oshidar Receives Highest Honor for Dental Implants - Becomes ICOI Diplomate!

Earlier this month, Dr. Oshidar became an ICOI Diplomate – the highest honor for dental implants!

The ICOI (International Congress of Oral Implantology) is the world’s largest dental implant organization, and also the world’s largest provider of continuing dental implant education.

In August, Dr. Oshidar had received his Mastership Award from the ICIO. While giving a table top presentation of one of his surgeries in Chicago – as well as presenting fifty other cases – before the Advanced Credentials Committee of the ICOI, he was approached by Dr. Christopher Ogunsalu, an ICIO Dimplomate, who complimented him on his surgery and made the recommendation that Dr. Oshidar pursue the fast-track to obtaining his diplomacy.

And that’s exactly what he did! After traveling to Jamaica in October to study with Dr. Ogunsalu, he took a written and oral exam to become an ICIO Diplomat! Congratulations to Dr. Oshidar!

End of the Year Insurance Reminder

As a friendly reminder, if you have dental treatment you've put on hold, now may be a good time to schedule an appointment to maximize your insurance benefits. Even if you don't need extensive treatment, you should schedule a regular check up and cleaning appointment to help prevent costly procedures in the future. You're probably paying a monthly premium to keep your insurance, so be sure to use it before the year end!

Now may also be a good time to use any remaining flexible account dollars. Flexible accounts are created to set aside pre-tax dollars for medical and dental expenses, but if that money is not used before the end of the year, it is lost to you forever.

Our holiday season does book quickly, so call us today at (908) 998-4698 to schedule your appointment. If you have any questions about your insurance coverage or benefits, we would be happy to help you. We look forward to seeing you!

The 5 Best Foods and Drinks to Naturally Cure Bad Breath: You Could be Sipping No.1 Right Now!

There are few things worse than bad breath – either having it yourself or interacting with someone else who is suffering from it.

Although eating certain foods, such as garlic, onions, coffee, and wine can cause bad breath temporarily – the main cause of bad breadth is a buildup of bacteria in the mouth. The most effective means of preventing chronic bad breath is maintaining good dental hygiene practices – twice daily brushing and flossing and regular dentist visits and teeth cleaning. Additionally, regularly consuming certain foods and beverages can also help to mitigate the effects of bad breath.

Here are the top ten best picks to help fight and prevent stinky breath:
1)    Water
Staying well hydrated helps to stimulate the production of salvia and rinse away food particles, preventing bacteria growth in the mouth.
2)    Yogurt
Consuming dairy products such as yogurt and cheese can help to neutralize highly acidic foods.  Studies have also shown that frequently eating probiotics can lower sulfide compounds that cause odors.
3)    Herbs: Parsley, Basil, Mint and Cilantro
Fresh herbs containing chlorophyll have a deodorizing effect on bad breath.
4)    Lemon and Orange Rind
Citric acid acts as a salvia stimulant, and the fresh fruity scent will mask existing stinky smells.
5)    Raw Fruits and Veggies
Thanks to the crunchy texture and high moisture level, eating most fruits and veggies raw helps to scrub teeth clean, removing bacteria in the process.
