Invisalign® utilizes 3-D computer technology with clear, plastic removable “aligners” to move teeth at a rate similar to traditional braces, but without any metal or wires. The “aligners” can be removed to eat and clean your teeth and are generally undetectable when worn. The computer imaging technology can predetermine and develop a treatment plan from the initial position of the patients teeth to their final desired position. Read the rest of this entry »

Americans spend billions of dollars a year on dental care but ironically, most of that money is spent on fillings and root canals –the expensive aftermath of years of oral health neglect.
Study after study show that children who receive good oral health care starting at a young age tend to have less oral health problems as adults, yet 1 in 5 children don’t see a dentist each year according to a study released by The Pew Center on the States in February, 2010. In an article published by USA Today (2/23/10), it was reported that the Pew Center on the States study found not only “one in five U.S. children go without annual dental care, but that most states lack key policies to ensure access to cost-saving preventive treatments.”
The Pew Center on the States is a non-profit policy analysis group that scored each of the states on eight policy benchmarks considered critical to children having access to and receiving dental care. A full report, entitled “The Cost of Delay: State Dental Policies Fail One in Five Children” is available online at www.pewcenteronthestates.org/costofdelay.
In order to receive a grade of “A”, a state had to meet at least six of the eight benchmarks. Only six states received an “A” grade. The majority of the 50 states (36) received a grade of “C” which is meeting only four of the eight policy benchmarks. In fact, the Pew Center found that two-thirds of the states were scoring a grade of C or worse.
A couple of the benchmark policies (on which the states were graded) that stand out as being achievable with relatively little cost and with a significant return on investment for both children and taxpayers include:
- School-based dental sealant programs
- Fluoridated water
If you have any questions about dental care for your kids please contact us.

Can the consistent use of bottled water result in individuals missing the benefits of optimally fluoridated water?
Yes. The majority of bottled waters on the market do not contain optimal levels (0.7-1.2 ppm) of fluoride. Read more about this in the online version of ADA’s Fluoridation Facts.
Can home water treatment systems (e.g., water filters) affect optimally fluoridated water supplies?
Yes. Some types of home water treatment systems can reduce the fluoride levels in water supplies potentially decreasing the decay-preventive effects of optimally fluoridated water.
For more detailed explanations, read the ADA’s Fluoridation Facts booklet. It is a 70-page comprehensive encyclopedia of fluoridation facts with over 200 scientific references. Order your copy of ADA’s Fluoridation Facts (Item No. J120) from the ADA Catalog.
The best option is to test your water after it has been filtered. To do this try calling Water Control Center at (703) 228-6555. Or private companies such as Burke water testing at 703-250-7711. Once the fluoride count it found, bring it to your dentist for proper analysis.
If you have any questions please call or email Dr. Roca

A root canal is one of the most feared of all dental procedures. Although a competent dentist can usually perform a root canal with minimal discomfort and with a high degree of success, problems may occur. When a tooth becomes infected, the treatment options include either root canal therapy or having the tooth removed. In most cases a root canal is the preferable choice, because it is the only way to save the tooth. Read the rest of this entry »
