For the fiscal year of 2008-2009, I have the honor to serve as Chairman of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation. Our most prevalent program is the Give Back a Smile program. Aimed at raising awareness about Domestic Violence and helping restore the Smiles of Survivors affected by the Violence, our organization have reached over 5 million dollars worth of donated dental services to date. Survivors of Domestic Violence can obtain more information and apply for the program via the website www.givebackasmile.com

Dentists who are interested in becoming a volunteer please visit www.aacdcf.com

I am currently donating all whitening services to this charity. If you are looking to whiten your teeth, a donation of $225 can be donated directly to Give Back A Smile, and I will provide the service to you at no additional cost. Please feel free to contact our office for more information.

Did you know that tooth pain can be caused by factors other then deep cavities and typical nerve problems?

For Example: If you are a serious grinder, an episode of uncontrolled grinding can cause trauma to the bedding of nerve tissues around the root of your tooth. As a result, that tooth may exhibit a dull ache, sensitivity to hot and cold, and pain on chewing.

In this scenario a root canal is not necessary if the traumatic bite force is recognized and eliminated from the bite. Hence, before you agree to have your tooth root canaled, please make sure all treatment options have been exhausted.
