Bad Breath Solutions from Dr. Gaitsgory
April 16, 2013
Do you find yourself having bad breath frequently, and not just after you eat certain foods like garlic or onions? Do you feel like you’re always reaching for the mouth wash or mints but your breath still smells? Your bad breath may be a sign of something else going on in your teeth or mouth.
At Framingham Premier Dental, we can analyze your smile and diagnose the cause of your bad breath. Dr. Gaitsgory will perform a dental check-up and look for the cause of the odor issue.
Many causes of bad breath include the following:
- Bacteria growth on the tongue
- Cavities, especially when food particles are stuck in them
- Gum disease
- Dentures that haven’t been cleaned properly
- Alcohol and tobacco use
Once we discover what is causing your bad breath, we can address the dental issue and help to clear up your breath. Treating the underlying cause is the only way to stop bad breath. Mints and mouth wash will just mask the odor, leaving the real issue unaddressed.
If you have frequent or persistent bad breath, it’s important to give us a call to schedule an appointment, as this is frequently a symptom of other issues with your smile. We want all our patients to have beautiful smiles and are here to help.
At Framingham Premier Dental, Dr. Gaitsgory provides caring dentistry to help you achieve the beautiful smile that you deserve. Our Framingham dental office serves patients from Middlesex County, MA as well as Natick, Sudbury, Ashland, Southborough, Westborough, Marlborough, Hopkinton, Holliston, and Sherborn.

Repairing Cavities with Crowns and Fillings
March 12, 2013
Cavities are a common dental health concern. Despite your best efforts to brush, floss, and visit us at Framingham Premier Dental regularly, they can still occur. If you have a cavity, it is important to treat it before the decay has an opportunity to affect more of your tooth. Crowns and fillings are the best ways to treat cavities.
If the cavity is small and has not gone through your enamel yet, then a filling is the best solution to repair the decay. Dr. Gaitsgory will remove the decayed portion of your tooth and place the composite resin material on your tooth. It will be hardened using a special light, and since it’s tooth colored, it will resemble your natural teeth.
Crowns are used to repair cavities that have gone beyond the enamel and are now too large to be filled. We will remove the damaged and decayed portion of your tooth and take an impression. This impression will be used to make your crown. In the meantime, we will place a temporary crown, to restore function while your permanent crown is being custom made. Once it’s ready, you’ll come back in and we will place it, giving you a fully restored, natural looking tooth.
Crowns and fillings are great ways to help repair cavities. It is important to ensure that your teeth are healthy, so make sure to come see us regularly. The sooner we find a cavity, the easier it is to treat.

Invisalign for a Beautiful Smile
February 14, 2013
Do you find yourself wishing for straighter teeth but are afraid how the appearance of traditional metal braces will impact your job or your social life? At Framingham Premier Dental, we have a great solution for you: Invisalign clear braces.
Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of clear aligner trays, making it the preferred choice for many teens and adults. No one will be able to tell that you’re wearing braces, and there’s no metal to irritate your mouth. At the end of your treatment, you’ll have straight, beautiful teeth.
When you come in for a consultation, Dr. Gaitsgory will analyze your teeth to see if this is the right solution for you. If it is, she’ll create a 3-D image of your teeth that will be used to show you what your smile will look like after treatment, and it will also be used to create your aligner trays.
You’ll switch out aligner trays every two weeks and come to our office for a checkup every six to eight weeks to make sure your Invisalign treatment is progressing correctly. Since your aligner trays are removable, it’s easy to clean them and you can eat whatever foods you wish, unlike traditional braces.
Invisalign is a great way to achieve the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. If you think this might be right for you or want to learn more, give us a call. We want all our patients to have a smile they’re proud to share with the world.
