Your Denture Questions Answered Here!
Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!
While you have seen a number of long time denture wearing patients, many of our patients wonder if dentures are right for them. Here are some common questions with answers about dentures, which may clarify a lot of the questions you may have.
What are dentures? What types of dentures are there?
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. If they are replacing all of your teeth on the corresponding jaw, they are called complete / full dentures. If they are replacing only a few missing teeth, they are called partial dentures. There are a few types of partial dentures depending on the type of material used to make them- acrylic, with metal base or valplast, also know as flexi-partial. There is a hybrid type of partial called flexi-frame. Depending on which teeth are being replaced, and the space the doctor may recommend a specific type of partial as you most optimal solution for teeth replacement.
What is the difference between conventional dentures and immediate dentures?
Conventional dentures are dentures that are made and placed after the remaining teeth
are removed and the tissues have healed. Immediate dentures are dentures that are
placed immediately after the removal of the remaining teeth.
What is an over-denture?
An over-denture is a denture that fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth or
implants.
What do dentures cost?
Generally having a denture, whether complete or a partial, is the most affordable way to replace missing teeth. Of course, there are a number of options available, however once a cost comparison is made dentures are the most affordable way to bring back your smile without spending a fortune!

For Valentine's Day Drink Red Wine And Pair It With Dark Chocolate - Both Are Good for Your Smile!
Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia, and Dr. Song!
Romance and love are in the air with the nearing of Valentine's day and if you were looking for an excuse to drink more red wine and eat chocolate, you are lucky!
Dark chocolate has about four times the antioxidents of green tea. The same anti-bacterial effect of flavinoid and polyphenols is shared by the now popular green tea. As an extra benefit seratonin and phenylethamine that are used as mood enhancers are present.What more can you wish for, chocolatey goodness that makes you feel happy!
A study released by scientists from Université Laval in Quebec, Canada, reports that
compounds in red wine known as polyphenols have been found to stave off periodontal
diseases. Periodontal diseases are those that affect the gums and bone around the
teeth, often leading to permanent tooth loss. The research shows that polyphenols,
derived from red grape seeds, neutralize one of the major tissue-destroying compounds
associated with periodontitis, a disease that affects a significant number of adults.
Red wine boasts a number of additional health advantages. It has anti-tumor properties
and can help prevent heart disease. Along with green tea, fresh fruits and green
vegetables, red wine has been known to reduce the risk of cancer mortality. Still, it's
important to err on the side of caution and drink only in moderation - no more than a
glass or two a day.
While red wine is preserving smiles across the globe, other sugary drinks are destroying
them. Acidic drinks like coffee (a crutch for millions of groggy Americans each day) can have a negative affect on teeth as well. Even good old-fashioned juice has come under fire as of late, slammed for having a high sugar content but very few of the nutritional qualities attributed to whole fruit, such as fiber.
Your best bet? Drink plenty of water. If you do have a sugary or acidic beverage, be
sure to either brush your teeth or rinse with warm water afterwards.
Wishing you a very romantic and sweet Valentine's Day!

Sugar: The Scariest Halloween Trend
Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!
Halloween is approaching, and so are all those scary costumes and haunted houses. It shouldn't be the ghouls and ghosts that you fear, however, but the candied apples, trick-or-treat sweets and all the soda that washes them down! Sugary and acidic foods can lead to tooth decay, and that can put a damper on anyone's festive spirit.
While it would be nice if your neighbors all gave out fresh fruit or sugar-free candy (though we're sure the kids disagree!), high-sugar sweets are still America's favorite Halloween treat. If possible, try to limit children's sugar intake. Encourage them to drink plenty of water while snacking – soda will only make things worse! And finally, while it's easy to slip into a "sugar coma" and just pass out while watching a favorite horror flick, this is not the time to stray from your brushing or flossing routine. Let your children know that if they eat sweets without their toothbrushes on hand, they should rinse their mouths out with warm water.
If you think your child may have developed a cavity (whether the result of Halloween indulgences or not), please call us at (212)689-0024 for a check up. Even temporary baby teeth need to be properly cared for, as tooth decay can affect permanent adult teeth as well.
We'd like to wish you and your family the best this fall season. We hope that when the sweets of autumn runneth over, you'll think of us (and your smiles)!
If you have questions regarding sugar and dental health, please call our office at (212)689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com today.
Best Regards,
Herald Square Dental
& The Denture Center
P.S. If you have any friends or family members who you feel could use our services, please don't hesitate to have them call us. We'll be sure to take good care of them.

Are You Neglecting Your Dentures?
Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!
Old, uncared-for dentures are bad for your dental health and overall — and they also often contribute to bad breath. We recommend that you have your dentures cleaned by a professional technician in our office at least once a year.
Although many of our patients hope that one denture will serve them a lifetime, dentures are not a lifetime investment. ADA recommends that dentures be replaced every 4-6 years. If they are neglected or never replaced, they eventually develop a fungal smell and can be a home for plaque and bacteria, which contributes to developing halitosis (bad breath) and intricate a number of other health threats. Make sure you clean your dentures at home every day and request a professional denture cleaning in our office at your next check up visit.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com.

Lost Teeth Impact Your Overall Health
In the past, the loss of teeth was dismissed as a natural part of the aging process, and dentures were considered a normal sign of old age.
While such ignorance is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, there is still not a general awareness of the seriousness of edentulism (the condition of being completely toothless). Multiple tooth loss is most commonly caused by periodontal disease, i.e.. gum and bone disease. Periodontal disease has a high statistical correlation with chronic debilitating disease, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and arthritis.
So it is not very surprising that studies now show a shortened life expectancy by as much as 10 years for persons who have lost their natural teeth, when compared to those who have kept their teeth.
In addition to longevity, quality-of-life differences are just as significant. The functional efficiency of dentures has been measured to be only 20% of that of natural teeth. Can there be any doubt that nutritional deficiencies will be much more prevalent in those without their natural teeth?
Loss of teeth often causes a feeling of loss of wholeness and a sense of deterioration and aging. Given these factors, preservation of the natural teeth is integral to whole-person wellness.
If you have questions regarding how dental health affects your total well-being, please call our office at (212)689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com today.

Oral Health for Seniors
Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!
The good habits of effective daily brushing, diet, and use of fluoride will help the aging person adapt to changing conditions. Reduced salivary flow and addition of medications will affect oral health dramatically.
Changes of the teeth and gums: Teeth will darken because of long-term exposure to plaque and changes in the dentin within the tooth. The gums may recede and uncover the roots. Exposed roots will be darker than the enamel part of the tooth and are prone to decay. Fillings can decay and darken, too, as they weaken over time.
"Dry Mouth" may develop: Saliva is useful to lubricate, wash away plaque, and neutralize the acid produced by plaque. Flow of saliva can be reduced by a medical disorder or be a side effect of antihistamine, decongestants, pain killers or diuretics.
The build-up of plaque will accelerate tooth decay. There will also be more gum infection which will cause a loss of bone support for the teeth. Poorly-fitting or poorly-cleaned dentures, illness, and some medications increase the severity of the problem.
For more information regarding dental problems of seniors, please call our office at 212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com today.

Poor Oral Health Can Lead to Lower Grades in School
Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!
Have you heard that dental problems could affect your child's performance in school?
Children who reported having recent tooth pain were four times more likely to have a low grade point average when compared to children without oral pain, according to an Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC study.
The findings of the reasearchers are that dental problems do not just appear to be connected to lower grades, but also cause more absences from school for kids and more missed work days for parents. Oral health problems are a very significant factor for children's predisposition for a lower GPA when compared to children without oral health issues.
If it has been a while since you had your child see the dentist for a routine visit, please take a moment and call us at 212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com to schedule their check up! Let's give our children the best care we can and have them smile more than ever!
