"When you sing, always tell the truth." Billie Holiday March 1st marks the start of #WomensHistoryMonth Tragically still relevant, "Strange Fruit" remains the best protest song ever written and Lady Day suffered greatly to perform it. With it's haunting lyrics graphically depicting the bodies of lynched African Americans in the Southern United States at the turn of the 20th century. Disturbing as it is powerful, this song has been called a declaration and the beginning of ...the civil rights movement. A poem turned into an act of resistance to racism which continues to kill countless innocent men, women & children to this day. If you have never heard it, I invite you to listen with the volume turned up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnlTHvJBeP0 #cofis_corona #cofisddsmd #oralmaxillofacialsurgeonddsmd #oralsurgery #blackoralsurgeon #blackownedbusiness #WomensHistoryMonth #womenshistory #supportwomen #supportwomenartists

How Long Do Dental Implants Last? With regular brushing and flossing, the implant screw itself can last a lifetime, assuming the patient receives regular dental check-ups every 6 months. The crown, however, usually only lasts about 10 to 15 years before it may need a replacement due to wear and tear.

If you are self-conscious because you have missing teeth, wear dentures that are uncomfortable or don't want to have good tooth structure removed to make a bridge, talk to your oral surgeon to see if dental implants are an option for you. Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and are designed to blend in with your other teeth. They are an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile. In fact, the development and use of implants is one of the biggest advances in dentistry in the past 40 years. Dental implants are made up of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body. They are posts that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth.

My dentist suggested I have my wisdom teeth removed, but they're not causing problems. Is wisdom teeth removal necessary? Answer From Thomas J. Salinas, D.D.S. Wisdom teeth the third molars in the very back of your mouth may not need to be removed if they are: Healthy... Grown in completely (fully erupted) Positioned correctly and biting properly with their opposing teeth Able to be cleaned as part of daily hygiene practices Many times, however, wisdom teeth don't have room to grow properly and can cause problems. Erupting wisdom teeth can grow at various angles in the jaw, sometimes even horizontally. Problems can include wisdom teeth that: Remain completely hidden within the gums. If they aren't able to emerge normally, wisdom teeth become trapped (impacted) within your jaw. Sometimes this can result in infection or can cause a cyst that can damage other teeth roots or bone support. Emerge partially through the gums. Because this area is hard to see and clean, wisdom teeth that partially emerge create a passageway that can become a magnet for bacteria that cause gum disease and oral infection. Crowd nearby teeth. If wisdom teeth don't have enough room to come in properly, they may crowd or damage nearby teeth. Some dentists recommend removing wisdom teeth if they don't fully emerge. Many dentists believe it's better to remove wisdom teeth at a younger age, before the roots and bone are fully formed, and when recovery is generally faster after surgery. This is why some young adults have their wisdom teeth pulled before the teeth cause problems. According to the American Dental Association, wisdom teeth removal may be necessary if you experience changes in the area of those teeth, such as: Pain Repeated infection of soft tissue behind the lower last tooth Fluid-filled sacs (cysts) Tumors Damage to nearby teeth Gum disease Extensive tooth decay The decision to remove wisdom teeth isn't always clear. Talk to your oral surgeon about the position and health of your wisdom teeth and what's best for your situation. #cofis_corona #cofisddsmd
