Safe to use ultrasonic toothbrush?

Posted on January 31, 2012 by AllSmiles.

Hi,

My husband recently purchased the Sonicare Diamond toothbrush for both of us to use. However, I have been reading that people who have dental bonding or veneers (which I have) should avoid the use of ultrasonic cleaning devices. Will the vibrating speed of this toothbrush damage my veneers? I have Dura-Thin porcelain veneers. Should I just avoid using this brush on the teeth with veneers?

Thanks,

Lina in Boston

Dental implant while taking Fosamax?

Posted on June 13, 2011 by AllSmiles.

Hi,

I am interested in having a dental implant to replace a front incisor that required extraction. My dentist is reluctant to consider this because I have been taking Fosamax for the past five years. Is it true that you can’t have dental implant surgery while taking this drug?
