Have Fresh Breath for Summer!
July 16, 2014
With summer making its bright, warm way into our lives, the world of laying by the pool and having outdoor barbeques are rapidly approaching. Celebrating summer means being surrounded by your closes friends and family, meaning people are getting their beach bodies ready and their refreshments cold. With all of the people you will encounter, it is very important you are healthy from the inside out, including your smile! Having fresh breath is an awesome way of making a first impression, and if you suffer from bad breath, also known as halitosis, you may find it difficult to be confident in yourself. Dr. Marianna Gaitsgory and the entire Framingham Premier Dental team are able to give you some insight as to what causes halitosis, and some ways of fixing the issue.
One of the causes for halitosis is not brushing and flossing your teeth every day. Food particles get stick between your teeth, and if they are left to sit, it causes bacteria growth. An antibacterial mouthwash is a good way of reducing these bacteria, as well as making sure you brush and floss your teeth every day. Also, smoking and/or chewing tobacco-based products causes bad breath, as well as stains your teeth, irritates your gums, and lessens your ability to taste and enjoy your favorite foods. Some of the signs of halitosis are an unrelenting bad taste in your mouth, severe dry mouth, and ill fitting dental appliances.
A few of the ways you can keep you halitosis under control is by practicing good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing your teeth daily. Also, seeing your dentist regularly, stopping smoking and using other tobacco-based produces, keeping a record of the kinds of food you eat, and drinking a lot of water are all sure ways you can be sure you have the freshest breath to celebrate the summer!

Let Dr. Gaitsgory Help With Your TMJ Pain
May 29, 2014
Living with any sort of pain can be extremely hard and taxing on the body. TMJ disorder, or temporomandibular joint disorder, can involve pain around the ears and jaw, leaving you in extreme discomfort. TMJ can cause insatiable headaches, clicking or popping noises of the jaw, damaged teeth, and tension in the jaw, neck, head, and shoulder muscles. Dr. Marianna Gaitsgory is able to relieve you of your TMJ disorder in the comfort of her Framingham, MA office.
The temporomandibular joint is a very sensitive joint, as it is located where the skull meets the lower jaw. If you experience high volumes of stress, that can be a contributing factor to your pain. Even small things like changes in your eating habits, changes in activity, and any sort of injury or trauma can cause the joint to go out of alignment. The way the temporomandibular joint works is it is surrounded by certain muscles that contract and relax, all of which make the opening and closing of your mouth effortless.
Other things that can affect your TMJ pain are certain diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis. Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can also seriously exacerbate the pain, as clenching and overstressing of the muscles causes a lot of damage to the joint. Also, misaligned teeth and an off bite can create a misbalance with the way the joint and the muscles surrounding it work together. One of the ways Dr. Gaitsgory is able to relieve you of your TMJ pain is by offering it Night Guards, Bite Guards, and Bite Adjustments to her patients. These devices prevent your jaw from clenching, and Dr. Gaitsgory is able to recommend the best treatment option for you.
If you feel as though you suffer from TMJ pain, contact our office and schedule an appointment with Dr. Gaitsgory immediately. There are many ways we are able to help our patients alleviate their TMJ pain, and a lot of them are simple.

Straighten Your Smile Easily with Invisalign
February 10, 2014
Gapped and misaligned teeth are definitely things that would cause someone to be insecure about their smile. You may have considered braces, but the first thing that may come to your mind is a mouth full of metal, which is something you may not want to deal with. Fortunately, Dr. Marianna Gaitsgory is able to offer Invisalign to her patients, making the process of getting a straighter smile easy and convenient!
Many patients love the convenience of Invisalign because it gives them the opportunity to straighten their smile in the most discreet way possible. The way Invisalign works is through a series of clear aligners, all specially made to fit you and your mouth only. With these aligners, your smile will gradually and gently arrange your teeth as they should be. You wear one aligner for a few weeks, and when it is time to change, you simply apply the next aligner in the series.
One of the benefits of Invisalign is that fact that they are nearly invisible on your teeth, erasing the embarrassment you may feel. Also, Invisalign is able to provide better oral hygiene while you are straightening your smile. If you need to eat, drink, floss, or brush, simply remove the container, and when you are finished, reapply it. If you are not sure about how Invisalign can help with your smile, a consultation with Dr. Gaitsgory is absolutely free, so there is nothing to lose!

Botox and Dermal Fillers with Dr. Gaitsgory
January 13, 2014
At Framingham Premier Dental, we understand that your mouth is not the only thing that should look great on your face. There is time and effort involved in making you look exactly how you want to look. We want to be a part of not only making your smile perfect, but your face as well. That is why we offer Botox and dermal fillers at our Framingham office, making sure you get all of your needs met with Dr. Gaitsgory.
Though some may not know it, but there is a difference between Botox and dermal fillers. Botox targets the wrinkles on and around the forehead and brow area, also known as frown lines. When injected, Botox’s purified protein base ceases muscle contractions, giving your skin the timeless look you’ve been wanting. Another thing people may not know about Botox is that it can help with your TMJ symptoms. You really get two things in one when it comes to Botox. The results for Botox can last for up to four months, and can be administered from then on, making sure you’re always looking your best.
Dermal fillers, however, target the smile lines around your mouth, also known as parenthesis. In this instance, dermal fillers plump the skin, making the lines disappear. The results of dermal fillers can last up to a year! Whether you go with Botox or dermal fillers, you are sure to be looking great at all times. Dr. Gaitsgory learned to administer such injections through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, so you are sure to be in excellent hands when you visit her office. If you would like to set up an appointment with Dr. Gaitsgory for Botox or dermal fillers, call our Framingham office today!

Restoring Infected Teeth with Root Canal Therapy
August 7, 2013
If a cavity has gone untreated long enough to penetrate your tooth enamel and enter the inner canal of your tooth, it needs to be treated as soon as possible. If this has happened to you, then you’re suffering from a root canal infection. At Framingham Premier Dental, we can restore the health of your tooth with root canal therapy.
Since there are a lot of nerves inside the root canal of your tooth, an infection here can be quite painful. It is important to address this as soon as possible because you’re at risk for losing your tooth. Dr. Gaitsgory will enter your tooth to clear out the infected inner material of your tooth. She will then sterilize your tooth and fill it with a special rubber material that will protect against further infection as well as reinforce the tooth. In many cases, we’ll cap your tooth with a porcelain crown to complete the restoration.
There’s no need to be afraid of root canal therapy. While many people feel this is a painful procedure, in most cases the pain that brings you into our office is worse than any discomfort that you’ll experience while undergoing root canal therapy. This is a great way for us to help improve the health of your smile by treating teeth that have become infected.
Framingham Premier Dental provides quality dental care to help you achieve the beautiful smile that you deserve.

Dental Implants from Dr. Gaitsgory
July 9, 2013
If you’re missing teeth it’s important to replace them as soon as possible to restore the health of your smile. Losing even one tooth puts the rest of your smile at risk. Also, once you lose a tooth, the rest of your teeth will shift to fill the gap and could move out of alignment. At Framingham Premier Dental, we can replace your missing teeth with dental implants.
Dental implants are a permanent, secure method to replace missing teeth. If you have enough bone mass to support the procedure, this can be a great choice for your smile. A titanium post will be inserted into your jawbone to create a secure base for your restoration, mimicking the tooth roots of a natural tooth. Once the post has bonded with your jaw, it will be topped with a custom made crown to complete the restoration, leaving you with a complete restoration.
Teeth can fall out for a variety of reasons, including trauma, cavities and gum disease. No matter how you lost your teeth, they can be replaced with dental implants. Take the first step towards restoring your smile and give us a call to see if this is the right solution for you.
