Maintaining Healthy Gums | The Dacula Dentist

Healthy gums are the cornerstone to healthy teeth and good oral health.  Preventing inflammation and disease in your gums is of paramount importance.  There are many things you can do to proactively work at keeping your gums healthy. Here are just a few...


EATING THE RIGHT FOODS. Some foods and vitamins have been linked to healthy gum tissue.  Taking in the proper amount of Vitamin C daily as well as eating foods that provide nutrients and ward off inflammation are important. Incorporate such foods as raisins, oranges, sweet potatoes and fresh vegetables into your diet plan.  You may also want to speak to your doctor about taking CoQ10 supplements. They have been shown to be beneficial for promoting dental and gum  health as well.  

FLOSS AND BRUSH DAILY. Yes, it seems obvious, but the importance of flossing everyday and brushing at least twice a day cannot be stressed enough. This is the foundation of good oral health.  Be sure to have your teeth professionally cleaned twice a year as well.

AVOID HARMFUL HABITS. Eating sugary foods, drinking sodas and ingesting foods that promote bad bacteria growth can wreak havoc on the health of your gums.  Using tobacco products are also harmful to your gums, not to mention the rest of your body too.  Making healthy lifestyle changes will not only impact your gums, but likely improve your overall well-being and quality of life.

Healthy gums are critical to having healthy teeth that can last you a lifetime. We stress the importance of dental health and educate our patients on proper oral care. If you have questions on ensuring that your gums are healthy or need a dental exam, call us today to schedule your appointment.

Are Our Mouths In A Permanent State Of Disease? | The Dacula Dentist

No one wants any part of their body, especially their mouth, to be in a permanent state of disease. But according to Medical News Today, that just may be the case.  A dental study in Nature Genetics uncovered that teeth and oral disease have changed dramatically since prehistoric times.  The sharp decrease in diverse oral bacteria in modernized industrial humans in comparison to early man is stunning. According to these researchers, this has left us in a virtually perpetual state of oral disease.

There have been sweeping changes in the way we live and what we eat and drink since the Stone Ages, which have led to negative changes in our oral bacteria.  Changes and reductions in bodily bacteria can significantly impact our health and susceptibility to diseases, this fact also applies to our oral health.

Comparing extracted DNA from various stages of evolution dating back to prehistoric times allowed researchers to see a progressive denigration of the amounts and types of helpful oral bacteria humans have in their mouths.  Understanding this  more fully may lead to refining methods for improving our overall dental health in the future by learning from our past.

Dental health is of great importance. We promote dental health as well as patient education in our dental office.  If you are in need of a dentist in Gwinnett, call us today. We want to be your dentist!

Kurz Dentistry 2013 Patient Reviews | The Dacula Dentist

Here is a small sample of some of our recent patient reviews...

“I had not been to see Dr. Kurz for two years. I was warmly welcomed back by both her and her staff. Tatyana took extra care when she cleaned my teeth on Wednesday, recommending therapies for my gingivitis. On Thursday, I received one crown and one filling from Dr. Kurz with special assistance from Kristine, who expertly detailed the whole process as it happened. Both Wednesday and Thursday, Chita took care of my insurance needs with a big smile. So glad I came back to Dr. Kurz and her staff.”
~ John S., Dacula

“ Tatayana was who I met with. She very nice and knowledgeable.  Everyone I met, from the office manager to Dr. Kurz was polite and understanding and I will be sending the rest of my family there for dental care.”

3 Important Questions For Your Dentist | The Dacula Dentist

Many patients just want to get in and get out when they go to the dentist, but don’t be so hasty. Your dentist is a wealth of knowledge and a tremendous resource (or at least they should be).  You don’t necessarily have to be in the midst of any major dental issues to take advantage of the time you have with your dentist. Don’t hesitate to ask them questions. They should be happy to take the time to explain things to you about your dental health, prevention an ongoing dental care.  At your next appointment, be sure to ask your dentist any and all questions that are important to you about your dental health and hygiene.  Also be sure to ask your dentist these 3 questions as well if they aren't on your list already:

1. What can I do to improve my overall dental health?
This is a simple, but important question that most people don’t ask.  Don’t assume that your dentist is telling you this information. There may be numerous changes that you can make that will significantly improve your overall dental health.

2. Is there anything I should alert my family doctor about?
Many medical issues will show early symptoms in your teeth, mouth and gums.  Be sure that your dentist is paying close attention and informing you of any signs of potential problems.

3. What are your specializations and education?
It’s not rude or inappropriate to ask your dentist about their education and any specialties they may have. You are placing a significant amount of trust and financial investment in your dentist, so you want to be sure that your dentist has the education and experience to meet all your needs.

Get to know your dentist and ask lots of questions.  Information is key and your dentist should be happy to educate you as a valued patient. Our dental office focuses heavily on patient education and invites our patients to ask us questions on their dental health.  If you are in need of a dentist in Gwinnett, call us today. We want to be your dentist!
