Greetings!

 

Spring has Sprung!  Everything is coming back to life. Flowers are blooming, leaves are popping back out on the trees. Soon we will be planting, and pruning, getting our yards in top shape to enjoy throughout the rest of the spring, summer and autumn seasons. We want our yards and gardens to look their best. But what about our smile?  Our smiles are the first impression we give people. It is the means we communicate with one another.  Your smile goes everywhere you do so make sure it is the healthiest and brightest it can be.   
Radiation and You

 

With the tragedy in Japan and the ensuing nuclear disaster, we are focused on radiation exposure and the damage it can do. But how much do you really know about it?  Do you worry about getting x-rays? Do you wonder if you really need them? Without x-rays, your dentist cannot fully know what is going on below the gumline and what potential problems may be lurking there. Here at Delmarva Dental Services, we are very concerned about your health and do not take unecessary x-rays. We also believe knowledge and understanding are so important. We have researched and studied this topic and wrote an article for our website. Did you know that you get more radiation from living in a brick home than you do from a dental x-ray? For more information on this, read this very interesting article at
Dental Fear! 
 
Are you afraid of going to the dentist?

 

our doctorsYou are not alone! Most people are a little apprehensive about going to the dentist and some are paralyzed with fear. Many people develop these fears due to having a bad dental experience as a child. Some develop this later in life but regardless of when and what happened, there is help to overcome this problem and get the healthy smile you deserve. How you feel about coming to the dentist is very important to each and everyone of us at Delmarva Dental Services.  Our website has a whole section devoted to dental fear. There is a quiz to rate where you fall on the fear scale. Different options are discussed to help you get past the fear and get the care you need.
