Had a great time hanging out with my friend Dr. Seb in his beautiful clinic in Northern England. If you’re in the UK I highly recommend his clinic

Vitamin D ☀️ is the star player in our bone healing protocol that we use for all of our patients when helping them heal from their dental surgery. 🦷

Vitamin D also plays an essential role in the long term maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. However, Vitamin D does not work on its own.

*ORIGINAL POST FROM

While mouth breathing is common in kids today we need to think of the root cause.

If you observe babies, they will be preferential nasal breathers – if they are allowed to.

One blocked nose, means that for survival, mouth breathing starts to creep in.

If the sinus blockage stays for days to weeks, the child often sleeps with the mouth open and unconscious open mouth posture starts to build.

Risk factors can include a high narrow palate, swollen adenoids or tonsils or severe oral restrictions.

For the most part, parents can be extra vigilant in giving their child the best chance to breathe through the nose.

If you have young children, I would argue cleaning their nose is one of the most important hygiene practices to do daily:

Here’s some strategies to put in place for young kids:

1) Nasal bulb or snot sucker.
Young children often do not know how to blow their nose. This is for physical clearance of any mucous.

Suctioning the mucous out of a small child’s nose is often the only way to clear the airway.

Suction devices aren’t popular with kids, but they can help completely clear sinuses.

Do this before feeding them, but only if they seem congested.

2) Saline Nose Drops

After clearing the nose with a bulb or suction device, saline nose drops can be a great clearance tool. They can be bought over-the-counter, at a pharmacy or grocery store, or you can make it at home.

After clearance is the best time.

3) Vitamin D

Yes I talk about it often… but there’s a reason. Vitamin D is the director of the immune system. If you get chronically blocked noses, you could be deficient in vitmain D.

Chronic nasal congestion (Rhinosinusitis) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the mucosal lining of the nose and nasal sinuses.

The ability of Vitamin D (VD3) to augment innate and adaptive immune responses has sparked interest in its immunologic role in the treatment of chronic blocked sinuses.

Supplementation of vitamin D3 has shown promise in reducing the severity of chronic blocked sinuses.

A high fat, low sugar diet is the best way to encourage adequate vitamin D3 level sin kids.

Do you notice your child mouth breathing?

One of the greatest compliments you can receive as a dentist is when a fellow dentist comes to you for treatment. It was an absolute privilege to treat one of my long time mentors, Dr. Brian Rhodes, for his ceramic implant tooth replacement treatment.

Dr. Rhodes had a nasty infection on his front tooth, which had been previously root canal treated and had failed.

Due to the severity and extent of the bone loss caused by the infection, this was one of the rare cases where an immediate implant was not possible. In this case I removed the tooth and cleaned out all of the infection, then performed a bone graft with sticky bone and PRF membranes to build up the bone and prepare the site for a future ceramic implant.

After 4 months of healing we placed the implant and added some more bone, then made him a fixed temporary crown.

4 months later we made the final ceramic crown. I was extremely happy with the health of the gums around the ceramic implant and with the final aesthetic contours we were able to achieve despite all of the damage and bone loss from the infection. We could have sent the crown back to the lab for some shade correction but Dr. Rhodes wanted his tooth in time for Christmas and was fine with the shade, so we cemented it! did an amazing job with the characterization of this one.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: 📣

If you are going to lose a tooth, the best time to get an implant is during the same appointment as the tooth removal. This is known as an immediate implant.

I have so many patients come to see me for an implant after already having their tooth pulled. Their dentist told them that they had to wait for the socket to heal before they could get the implant. This is the advice that I used to give as well, but our techniques and materials today have gotten so much better that the game has changed, especially now with ceramic implants which have become my top choice for tooth replacement (I even have one myself).

The biggest challenge that occurs when you extract and wait is that a lot of bone and gum tissue are lost during the healing phase, even if a bone graft is performed. This can compromise the final aesthetics and even necessitate additional complicated bone and gum grafting procedures to rebuild the lost tissue.

By far now the best approach is to have an immediate implant with a fixed temporary tooth (in the smile zone), and this is possible in more than 90% of situations. The advantages are:

- only 1 surgical appointment
- better aesthetics of the new tooth and gum tissue
- less overall bone loss and gum resorption
- no annoying flipper or essix retainer as a temporary

This was a case that I recently completed. In the second photo with the before and after you can see how inflamed her gum tissue was around her failing root canal treated tooth, and comparatively how much healthier her gums in that area have gotten since we treated the area. This tooth had previously been giving her a lot of problems over the last few years and she had the root canal and crown redone to try and save it, until she came to see me and we made the decision to replace the tooth with a ceramic implant. We were all thrilled with the final outcome. Beautiful ceramic work by

Let’s talk about ideal or sufficient jaw development. A well-developed jaw lays the foundation for a lifetime of good dental health.

In a growing child, the best sign of a well-developing jaw is spacing between the baby (primary) teeth. Primary teeth are smaller in size to adult (secondary) teeth. So when there is spacing between the primary teeth, it is an indication that there will be room for the larger secondary teeth to come in straight, without crowding.

In future posts, I will further discuss some of the factors that contribute to well-developed jaws, such as breast-feeding, nutrition, breathing, posture, and most importantly, a hard diet!
