Woburn Dental Office Offers Dental Emergencies Tips

WOBURN, Mass. -- Emergency dentist office, Woburn Dentistry offers comprehensive patient care and emergency dental treatment. When it comes to dental emergencies, urgent care can make the difference between a pain-free smile and serious, irreparable damage.

Some of the most common dental emergencies include:

1. Broken tooth: A broken tooth may require a root canal to prevent further damage. Crowns can also be used to protect the tooth for the future.

2. Mouth ache: TMJ, bruxism, and soft tissue damage can lead to mouth aches. If your symptoms are not resolved after conservative at-home care, you may require a dental emergency checkup to rule out more serious problems and identify the underlying issue.

3. Avulsed tooth: When a tooth gets knocked out, it must be treated as soon as possible. Avoid touching the root, and place the tooth in a glass of milk as soon as possible.

4. Painful tooth: Tooth ache can occur for a variety of reasons, including loose fillings abscesses or cavities. Prompt dental care can help prevent complications and the need for more invasive procedures.

5. Painful gums: Healthy gums should be firm, pink, and pain-free. Gums that hurt may be infected, abscessed, or irritated from food particles stuck between the teeth or under the gum line. If a salt-water rinse and careful brushing and flossing do not alleviate the pain, patients should seek dental care as soon as possible.

According to Dr. Jamie Chan, Dentist at Woburn Dentistry: "There are a number of precautions you can take to avoid accident dental injury - from wearing a mouthguard during sports to avoiding biting on ice, popcorn kernels, and hard candy, each of which can crack a tooth. The quicker you can get ahold of your emergency dentist, the better your chances of minimizing damage and reducing pain."

Spodak Dental Group Offers $1,000 Off Invisalign Treatment for Patients of Now Bankrupt SmileDirectClub

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- The recent news of SmileDirectClub's bankruptcy has stranded current patients of their more than 2 million users without answers, aligners, and possibly still unhealthy and misaligned teeth. The Spodak Dental Group (SDG) team would like to help. If you are a SmileDirectClub patient and are not sure where to turn to next, SDG has some recommendations.

"The reason a person enrolls in orthodontic treatment is to achieve the health and function to maintain their teeth for a lifetime and the smile of their dreams. Not only do patients have to commit to months of treatment, it is also an added lifestyle expense," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group. "What makes it all worth it is the patient enjoying their smile at the end of their orthodontic journey. So for all those SmileDirectClub patients who now don't have the straight and healthy smile they signed up - and paid - for, it's unfair. This is why my team has decided to step up to help serve."

SDG is offering complimentary smile assessments to any patient currently still in treatment OR dissatisfied with their results from SmileDirectClub. A no cost digital scan will be offered to determine the current oral health state of each patient and if there is the need for continued orthodontic treatment. If not, the team will provide night time retainers at a discounted rate. These retainers are essential for maintaining the proper alignment of the patient's teeth, as teeth continue to shift with time and use.

If additional orthodontic treatment is recommended, either to fix an issue with SmileDirectClub's treatment plan or to continue treatment, the SDG team will offer the Invisalign treatment method with a $1,000 discount.

Invisalign is the comfortable, safe and effective option for straightening teeth using custom, clear aligners. SDG is the only general dental office to earn the prestigious VIP: Diamond Plus status in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin Counties, meaning they have the experience to help their patients at the highest level possible.

The team urges all SmileDirectClub patients to at least schedule a consultation, so that any changes to their smile from the use of SmileDirectClub aligners can be expertly and properly assessed from a trained provider.

Dr. Tiffany Dudley and Spodak Dental Group Offer Complimentary Telemedicine TMJ Consultations

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- Dr. Tiffany Dudley and the Spodak Dental Group team are now offering free TMJ phone and virtual consultations with a goal to help patients suffering from migraine and chronic headaches find relief. It is estimated that roughly 10 million people in the United States suffer from at least one TMJ disorder.

"It's important to offer this resource to our community members who are experiencing jaw, head and neck pain, as well as those who are suffering from migraines," said Dr. Dudley. "Because there are different types of TMJ disorders, it's crucial to speak with a medical professional who can properly diagnose the cause of the pain and then recommend necessary treatment to get the patient out of pain today, and in the future."

The temporomandibular joint is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull, which are in front of each ear. This joint lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side so you can talk, chew and yawn. Problems with your jaw and the muscles in your face that control it are known as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ), and can cause pain and tenderness in the jaw joints and surrounding muscles and ligaments.

Symptoms of TMJ can include pain or tenderness in your face, jaw joint area, neck and shoulders, and in or around the ear when you chew, speak or open your mouth wide; jaws that get "stuck" or "lock" in the open or closed position; clicking, popping or grating sounds in the jaw joint when you open or close your mouth or chew; a tired feeling in your face: trouble chewing or a sudden uncomfortable bite, as if the upper and lower teeth are not fitting together properly; and swelling on the side of your face where you're experiencing pain.

TMJ can be caused by teeth grinding, jaw injuries, arthritis, and every day wear and tear. The pain and discomfort can be temporary, or can last many years. Women experience TMJ pain more often than men, and it's most common among people between 20 and 40 years old. TMJ treatment varies from person to person and may include medication, physical therapy, custom mouth guards and jaw surgery.

Free telemedicine TMJ consultation appointments are available Monday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and are held over the phone or virtually for 30 minutes. Current and future patients can schedule their consultation by calling/texting (561) 303-2413 or emailing inform@spodakdental.com.

The Spodak Dental Group Raises Minimum Wage and Hires Entry-Level Employees at $15 Per Hour

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- In accordance with the passing of Florida's Amendment 2 in November 2020, which increased the minimum wage and amended Florida's Constitution, the Spodak Dental Group will raise its minimum wage for all employees. However, instead of matching the state-mandated increases, they are exceeding them.

The Spodak Dental Group is the first dental office in Delray Beach, Fla. to increase wages for entry-level workers, well before the 2026 deadline. This falls in line with the Group's goal to positively change the field of dentistry.

"It is important for us as a company to provide the very best environment for our team members so that they may take the very best care of our family of patients," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group. "To do that, we must provide them with excellent wages, flexible scheduling for a comfortable work-life balance, and a workplace that enables and encourages growth. So instead of waiting until 2026 to hire entry-level team members at $15 per hour, we are making that increase now."

Under the new mandate, Florida's minimum wage rate was $8.56 but increased to $10 an hour in September 2021. The minimum wage then will increase by $1 each year until it reaches $15 an hour in 2026. The minimum wage rate applies to all public and private sector employers, regardless of size or number of employees.

In addition to providing their team members the $15 an hour wage in 2021, team members are also provided training while working. This is part of the Spodak Dental Group's pipeline program where aspiring dental professionals who don't have the access or funds to pay for schooling can work at the office and learn all aspects of the field, as if they were in school, all while getting paid.

The Spodak Dental Group, 2017 Inc. 5000 honoree, has evolved to become South Florida's premier, comprehensive dental facility, and comprises a world-class association of dental professionals poised to provide full-service dental care second-to-none in both scope and skill.

The Spodak Dental Group Transitions to Four-Day Work Week

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- The Spodak Dental Group transitioned to a four-day work week in 2021 with a goal to take the very best care of each team member. After the turmoil of a 2020 year filled with the uncertainty, stress and additional regulations due to COVID-19, the family-owned company realized that there was a great opportunity to provide each team member with a flexible schedule that supports a greater work life balance.

"We focus on providing our patients with an amazing human experience in our office, so it made sense to dedicate similar focus to our valued team members," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group. "Allowing our team members to work four days a week provides them with the additional support they need to live their best lives in and out of the office."

Studies show that reducing the amount of days that an employee has to work not only increases productivity and engagement, but also reduces the amount of sick and personal days requested.

The Spodak Dental Group is proud to be a team member-focused company and offers each team member the benefits that matter most to them, whether that be a flexible work schedule with remote work options, 401(k) matching, paid continuing education courses, company-sponsored social events and team building retreats, and more.

Spodak Dental Group’s Use of ‘Laughing Gas’ Helps Patients Who Suffer from Depression

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- The Spodak Dental Group team is committed to helping their patients not only achieve their smile goals, but also their overall comfort in and out of the dental chair. While nitrous oxide has been offered as an effective treatment for anxious or fearful patients, it has now been shown to help with patients who suffer from depression.

A recent study published in Science Translational Medicine has shown that nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, can relieve symptoms of depression otherwise resistant to current drugs. The randomized phase II clinical trial of 24 volunteers in the United States with treatment-resistant major depression shows that a low dose of nitrous oxide offers a benefit that appears to last for several weeks and come with very few side effects.

The first treatment involved an hour-long high dose of nitrous oxide (at 50 percent), the second involved an hour-long low dose of the drug (at 25 percent), and the last involved a placebo. The majority of people in the trial showed a high rate of response and symptom improvement over the course of the trial. This is the first time that a study has shown these results.

The Spodak Dental Group state-of-the-art facility offers nitrous oxide in each of the 18 state-of-the-art operatories. Patients are invited to enjoy nitrous oxide for any treatment or procedure, including cleanings, which are monitored by board certified general and specialty dentists.

"We are committed to our patients' overall safety, health and wellness, which is why we safely offer nitrous oxide," said Dr. Craig Spodak, general dentist at Spodak Dental Group. "Not only is it a safe option for anxious or depressed patients, the effects dissipate quickly once the gas is not inhaled and there are no negative side effects."

The Spodak Dental Group, a 2017 Inc. 5000 honoree, has evolved to become South Florida's premier, comprehensive dental facility, and comprises a world-class association of dental professionals poised to provide full-service dental care second-to-none in both scope and skill.
