#TestimonialTuesday When my long time dentist retired several years back, I asked if he could recommend a new dentist to me, since I still needed dental work.

On trip to Atlanta not too long ago, I had a conversation with someone who asked me, "With all the specialty dentists around Los Angeles, what makes you different?" Believe it or not, that was an easy question to answer. Not only am I a Prosthodontist, but From 1994 to 1995, I was the American Cancer Society Fellow in Maxillofacial Prosthetics at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. I am one of ONLY two trained in Dental Oncology in the San Fernando Valley.... What is Dental Oncology? Dental Oncology is an area of dentistry focusing on the dental and oral manifestations of chemotherapy, radiation therapy and/or head and neck surgery. The discipline deals with evaluating patients before they undergo stem cell and bone marrow transplants, receive anti-resorptive medications or chemotherapy, and undergo radiation treatment. Additionally, dental oncologists provide periodic care during and after cancer therapy. Dental oncologists not only provide general dental treatment, including restorative dentistry, but they also treat and manage the dental and oral side effects and sequela of cancer therapy such as mouth sores, thrush, and dry mouth. Furthermore, I (as a dental oncologist) am trained and knowledgeable in the developmental side effects of cancer therapy and are equipped to uniquely treat pediatric patients with a history of cancer. If you, or someone you know and love, has suffered from the effects of Cancer, please give our office a call for a special consultation today at 818-986-9036.

IT'S ALMOST HALLOWEEN!

Much has changed but our love for the fun, fright, and delight of Halloween is strong as ever. So let’s unleash our Halloween inspiration to celebrate the season in safe, fun, unexpected ways!

Every year, seriously ill kids miss out on experiences because of their illnesses.

Questions for Dr. K: "Can you tell me more about Oral Cancer? Am I at risk?" About two-thirds of oral cancer in the mouth or oral cavity occurs in the floor of the mouth and tongue, but can occur in the upper or lower jaw, lips, gums, and cheek lining. Just behind the mouth is an area known as the orophyarnx. Oropharyngeal cancer (one-third of cases) occurs in the back of the tongue, tonsils, and throat tissue. Oral cancer kills one American every hour of every day, accordin...g to the National Cancer Institute. Early detection offers the best chance of survival, yet only one-third of oral cancer is found in the earliest stages when treatment is most effective. Oral Cancer Causes & Risk Factors: Who are most at risk? * Smokers: People who use tobacco are six times more likely to develop oral cancer. Eight of 10 oral cancer patients are smokers. * Heavy alcohol drinkers: 80 percent of people diagnosed with oral cancer consume more than 21 drinks weekly. * HPV infected: People with history of oral human papilloma virus infections are at greater risk to develop oral cancer even if they don’t smoke or drink. Oral Cancer Symptoms & Warning Signs: What are the warning signs? * Red or white mouth patches in or behind the mouth * Mouth sores or ulcers that bleed easily and do not heal * Unexplained lump in the neck, throat, or floor of the mouth * Difficulty or discomfort chewing or swallowing * Pain and tenderness in teeth or gums * Change in the fit of dentures or partial dentures * Visible change in mouth tissue * Unpleasant sensations (pain, discomfort, numbness) * Diminished ability to perform normal functions such as opening jaw, chewing, or swallowing * Unexplained swelling or fullness in the neck For more information and for treatment options, please give our office a call at 818-986-9036.

Today is "Smart is Cool" Day. :) If there’s ever a time to show off your IQ test results, Smart is Cool Day is probably it. Though it’s not clear where the tradition started, the egg-headed individual’s idea was absolutely brilliant. Schools typically put together shows for their pupils and students and invite both street-smart youngsters and successful degree holders to speak to them about the importance of staying in school. But there’s really no need for that, because all ...it takes to see smart people are cool is to Google Mayim Bialik, Zach Braff or Matthew McConaughey and to check out their background. To celebrate Smart is Cool Day, put on your vintage T-shirt and your corduroys and check out Sheldon Cooper’s latest adventures. Then test your wits at the IQTest.com and tell all your friends that you decided to become a doctor. Then download the Mensa app and enroll to become a Mensa member. Don’t forget to wear a cap saying ‘I make smart cool’ and to post your selfie for all to see, because it’s always nice to share your gifts with your friends, intellectual or otherwise. Patients ask me all the time, "Where do you find these unique and funny holidays?" Normally, I would keep that my little secret. :) But, since it's "Smart is Cool" Day, I'll share the site: www.BrownieLocks.com If you have any missing or broken teeth and would like improve or restore your beautiful smile, give us a call to schedule an appointment. 818-986-9036.

[FAQ] "Who is an ideal candidate for dental implants?" Dental implants are usable in just about anyone who is missing one or more teeth. We can use implants like they’re artificial tooth roots to replace one missing tooth and make it look as natural as possible, as if there were never a tooth missing. And, if a lot of teeth are missing, we can use them to make bridges to... make teeth that don't have to be taken out. For denture wearers, we can make them into a type of denture that never has to be removed. If you have any questions about whether or not you are an ideal candiate for dental implants or any other restorative solution for your missing or broken teeth, please give us a call at 818-986-9036
