Comstock Park Dental Team

At Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry in Comstock Park, each member of our team helps us operate smoothly and provide an excellent standard of dental health care.

Dental assistants are an important part of the team. They perform many tasks, from patient care to office work.

Our dental assistants work alongside the dentist during procedures, when an extra pair of hands are needed. In addition to assisting the doctors, they prep examination areas, clean up afterward, and order new supplies before they run too low.

Dental assistants must have a basic understanding of dental medicine. They need to be familiar with our dental software and understand the content of the many documents and forms we use on a daily basis. It all requires an attention to detail, critical thinking, an ability to follow protocols, and sound judgment.

Whether a patient is receiving teeth whitening, Invisalign clear braces, or cosmetic dentistry, the dental assistant has set the stage for a comfortable and efficient procedure. Like the rest of the team at Stewart & Hull Aesthetic & General  Dentistry in Comstock Park, they’ve got your dental health uppermost in mind.

Soda Spells Double Trouble: Dental Health in Comstock Park

Soft drinks, soda, pop. No matter what you call it, it seems to be the dietary villain of choice – and with good reason. At Stewart & Hull in Comstock Park, we remind you that the sweeteners in soft drinks spell trouble for your dental health.

Soft drinks, in fact, deliver a double punch to your teeth with two of its ingredients: sugar and phosphoric acid.

Sugar is harmful to teeth primarily because it softens enamel and makes them more prone to cavities. This is especially harmful to kids, because their enamel is not fully developed.

You might think you can avoid issues by choosing diet soda. It isn’t that easy, unfortunately. The acids found in diet soda have basically the same detrimental softening effect on enamel.

Our recommendation is simple: stop drinking soda, or cut way back on your consumption. Also, keep your kids away from it as much as possible, so their teeth have the chance to mature healthily.

Best bet? Make water your beverage of choice. If that’s too hard, try to drink some shortly after you have soda. That will rinse away some of the bad stuff. Try to brush more, too – but wait a half hour so the enamel isn’t brushed while it’s soft.

Stewart & Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry in Comstock Park provides a full range of cosmetic, general and family dental services.
