Summer time is an excellent time for students to get dentistry completed while they are out of school. Wisdom teeth are typically taken out between the ages of 15 and 20 on most people. Few individuals have the space in their mouth to have healthy, problem free wisdom teeth. Having your wisdom teeth taken out (pulled, extracted) is a very common, routine procedure. Most patients are sore for a couple of days but heal quickly. The younger the patient, usually means it will be easier on the patient. Summer is also a great time to think about orthodontics or simply completing other dentistry such as fillings, sealants, crowns, etc. Dr. Carson Kutsch Albany Oregon Dentist www.drkutsch.com

It’s a good time to think about wisdom teeth
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010Want to enhance your smile?
Monday, June 28th, 2010There are many options in dentistry for creating a healthy, beautiful, youthful smile. These can range from simply getting your teeth cleaned to covering the front teeth with cosmetic porcelain veneers. However, there are other options as well. Sometimes there can be a discolored filling or crown that can be replaced, thereby, changing the overall appearance of the smile. The teeth can also be whitened with in office bleaching, or moved with orthodontics to make the teeth more straight. Last but not least, there is also the Snap On Smile. The Snap On Smile fits like a comfortably over all of the teeth, can be taken in and out, and covers everything. Though the Snap On Smile is removable, it can be left in while eating and drinking. If you have questions about the appearance of your teeth or are embarrassed to smile, please don’t hesitate to ask about cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Carson Kutsch Albany Oregon Dentist www.drkutsch.com
Family dentistry-Then and Now
Monday, March 8th, 2010Most of us can remember our first dental appointments and the anxiety that accompanied those experiences. Today, our younger patients (child patients) don’t have the same types of experience with dentistry. As we have increased our magnification, implemented digital x rays, and changed to more conservative materials, the process of getting a dental filling is no longer a traumatic experience. Today’s fillings are smaller, require less anesthetic, and often lead to a shorter appointment time. Thus, our younger patients often enjoy their visit to the dentist and have teeth that will be in much better condition for the long term. Carson Kutsch Dentist Albany Oregon www.drkutsch.com
