Introducing Dr. Alexander Katsnelson!

Dr. Katsnelson 

Alexander Katsnelson, DMD, MS

 

Hi, my name is Alexander Katsnelson and I really enjoy working as an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at Dental Salon. The reason that I love my job so much is because of the patients that I meet and my passion for helping them. I know that for many people, any type of surgery can be stressful. Therefore I strive to make you feel comfortable, educate you regarding your treatment options, and answer all of your questions.

 

I graduated from Hadassah School of Dental Medicine in Israel. After moving to Chicago, I began my Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery training at University of Illinois. I completed my Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency training at a Harvard University teaching hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, where I also served as chief resident.

 

I have extensively published in national journals and presented at numerous dental conferences. Training under the best surgeons in my specialty has enabled me to continue their tradition of providing patients with thorough treatment planning, innovative surgeries, and dedication for their well being. To provide my patients with the latest treatment options, I continue taking courses and attending conferences.

 

In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with my family. After many years of specialty training and being away from Chicago, my wife and I take any opportunity to explore such an interesting and beautiful city!

You Ask, We Answer!

 

"Sometimes I experience some tooth sensitivity when I am eating a sticky sweet, such as taffy or a caramel.  Is this natural, or is it something to be worried about?"

 

Great question!    

Tooth sensitivity is very common and something we address here at Dental Salon on a daily basis.  Teeth may be especially sensitive when the dentin layer is exposed.  Dentin is the part of a tooth that is between the protective outside enamel layer and the interior pulp chamber where the nerve is located.  Dentin is comprised of tiny tubes that run all the way from the surface layer to the nerve.  If there is no enamel to protect the tiny tubes, sensations from changes in temperature or sweets can race right to the nerve and create a sharp painful sensation!  Enamel may crack or wear away from stress like grinding or brushing too hard as well as erosion from acids in soft drinks or acid reflux disease.  When a patient is experiencing tooth sensitivity our dentists do a thorough examination and recommend the appropriate treatment for the situation.  Mild, short-term sensitivity may be addressed with desensitizing toothpaste and mouthwash. 

Feature Review!

Since I have started my care with Dr. Sheffield and Dental Salon several months ago, I have felt nothing but ease and comfort in the hands of Dental Salon.  For years I would avoid going in for a simple cleaning as my fears of dental work would always get the best of me.  I have now spent more time in your dental office than I have in my entire life and I no longer dread my appointments or find an excuse to take precedence.  Dr. Sheffield and your staff are what I recommend to all who fear the unknown of dentistry.  Thank you for having them all on your team.

Root Canal Therapy

Did you know...?

Root canal therapy is not as scary as it sounds!  A root canal can save a tooth that has been compromised by deep decay or trauma.  Treatment is comfortable and predictable.
