All About Healthy Pregnancies in New Orleans
Dr. Glenn Schmidt, of Riverbend Dental Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, is a highly-regarded dentist who offers everything from cosmetic dentistry to dental implants. In these articles, he discusses mini-implants, pregnancy health, and arch expanders.
Arch expanders are an important step in the orthodontic treatment process for young patients with narrow arches. Arch expanders are much more common now then they were in previous decades.
Pregnant women experience surges in hormones that leave them susceptible to a number of oral conditions, including gum disease. To prevent this, women should visit their dentists regularly during their pregnancies.
Mini-implants are a faster, cheaper alternative to traditional dental implants. Unfortunately, mini-implants do not last as long as traditional implants, and some patients may need to eventually get their mini-implants replaced.
