Consumer Guide to Dentistry has added three new articles to the comprehensive oral health publication covering topics that include same day dentistry and scaling and root planing. Reviewed by advisory board member John Nosti, DMD and executive editorial advisor Larry Addleson, DDS, FAACD, the articles are intended to provide consumers with the salient points related to each subject, in addition to providing a bridge to the most geographically accessible dentists offering treatment.

The same day dentistry article and accompanying same day dentistry FAQ describe the innovative new treatment that condenses some of the more commonly traditional dental procedures into a single office visit, as opposed to multiple visits. The incorporation of technologies such as CAD/CAM, CEREC and E4D make for an advanced treatment experience that saves time and money.

The scaling and root planing article details the thorough form of oral prophylaxis, describing at length the reasons why it is performed and the many oral and general health benefits. Consumers are provided with procedure and after-care information, in addition to approximate cost details.
