A beach day isn’t complete without the proper protective gear; think sunhat, sunglasses, umbrella, and sunscreen. Just like you wouldn’t go to the beach without the right equipment, don’t maintain your oral health without the best, dentist-approved tools. Use highly-rated fluoride toothpaste to help protect your teeth from your Florida diet—the sweet and sour goodness of a Key lime pie can lead to cavities without proper oral care. When it comes to toothbrushes, use a new one every 3-4 months, and always look for brushes with the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of approval. Lastly, look for a floss that won’t shed or fray between your teeth. If you lather up on sunscreen before every beach day, then you know the importance of routines. The final, and most important step to a good oral care routine is scheduling regular appointments with your dentist. A beautiful smile is just a call away.

Does the sound of your grinding teeth distract you from the cicadas out your window at night? If so, it may be time to visit your dentist. And what about that toothache, sore gums, or sensitive teeth? Many people put up with pain and discomfort simply because they don’t know whether their situation is serious enough for a dental visit. Well, no matter how small you think your problem is, it’s always a good idea to schedule an appointment. A small issue today could be a sign that a much bigger issue is developing. A dental check-up can catch these issues early, helping you avoid complex (and expensive) dental procedures down the line. If your dental health is keeping you up at night, talk to your dentist today.

    Who is Dr. Anish Patel DMD?
    view full bio

    Dr. Anish Patel was born and raised in England. He and his family moved to Texas when he was 13, and then to Florida at the age of 16. He has been in Florida since. Dr. Patel received his undergraduate degree at the University of Central Florida in Orlando in biology. He then received his Doctorate of Medicine in Dentistry from NOVA Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale.

    Shortly after Dr. Patel graduated, he started a dental practice in Jacksonville, FL. He realized then he and his family would prefer to live in a smaller city. He toured all of Florida and found the Emerald Coast to be perfect for his family.
    Dr. Patel has completed the following trainings in many aspects of dentistry, which helped him provide a wide range of dental procedures at Panama City Smiles:

     • Advanced training in implant dentistry
     • Progressive Orthodontics - advanced training course in orthodontics
     • Continuing education courses for cosmetic, restorative, and other types of dentistry

    What keeps Dr. Patel motivated is seeing the results and seeing his patient happy when he removes their braces, or after restoring implants for someone who had missing teeth, and seeing that they are able to smile again. Dr. Patel loves giving back to the community and the Pier Park area and he looks forward to meeting you in person to help you discover the smile you always wanted!

What is tooth extraction?

a
ache-remover-696

Tooth extraction or tooth removal is classified into two main types: simple extractions and surgical extractions. Understanding the difference between these types can help you prepare for your procedure. 1. Simple Extraction: This method of tooth extraction is performed on a tooth that is fully erupted in the mouth and can be removed with dental forceps with relative ease. After administering a topical anesthetic and then local anesthetic (Novocaine) to numb the area, the dentist or oral surgeon loosens the tooth by luxating it with an instrument called a straight elevator and then removes it with surgical forceps. Simple dental extraction is typically performed without the need to cut the gum, which is called raising a gingival flap in technical terminology, which is the process of making an incision in the gum and then separating the entire thickness of the gum away from the underlying bone, thereby exposing the actual jaw bone under it. This is done usually for teeth that are carious, damaged, or need to be extracted for orthodontic reasons. 2. Surgical Extraction: Surgical tooth extractions are more complex and are considered for teeth that are not easily accessible, such as impacted wisdom teeth (3rd molars) or teeth that have very little clinical crown left of them. Root tips also need to be surgically exposed sometimes. This method involves making the aforementioned incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and the underlying bone. The tooth may be cut into smaller pieces for easy removal. Sometime it is even required to truph the bone surrounding the roots (alveolar bone). Truphing the bone is the process of cutting the alveolar bone around the tooth to loosen the roots further, usually done on roots that are significantly curved or ankylosed (adhered to the bone). Surgical dental extraction is usually performed under local anesthesia, but sedation options are also available usually for wisdom teeth removal or high anxiety patients. Surgical tooth extraction may be needed for impacted teeth that are deeply embedded in the jawbone.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
