How do you promote your dental business? How do you find the right dental lab, check the competition and follow the newest trends in dentistry?
These questions have bothered me for many years because there are many dentistry-related websites in Internet but few of them can supply us with the information that we need.
Facebook is great when it comes to communication and discussing clinical cases. But what if I want more? What if I want to check comments about a product, read the reviews about the dental clinics and laboratories and connect to dentists all over the world. There are a few platforms that are reliable and deliver trustworthy facts about the newest materials, courses and news. I am proud to say that our network Dentagama.com is growing rapidly and people tend to share and follow each other. That's what we need in dentistry - a leading community of experts, a single place where you can read about the dental materials, dental clinics, check out the dental blogs and reviews. A website concentrated not only on the dental professionals but on the patients.
Dentagama.com accepts any information about local courses, innovations, new products, ideas and trendy facts. You are welcome to be a part of our community and take advantage of our advertising options. Registrations are opened and everybody is welcome to join.

SEO and the factors that determine your search ranking are changing, backlinks are still vital but google is trying to move away from using backlinks as the main source for determining search position. Backlinks can be quite easy to fake by marketing companies and other people who are trying to game the system and artificially increase their search rankings. It is believed that google has now begun to include social signals in its ranking algorithm and the social network that is most closely linked to search results is of course Google+
Recent studies by several SEO experts are showing an increase in the correlation between activity on the G+ network and search positions.
Several recent studies carried out by leading SEO organisations are showing a higher correlation between activity on the G+ network and search positions. Another factor that experts expect to become more prominent in search ranking in future is Google Authorship. Aurthorship is linked to your personal Google + profile and it is expected that it will give people with established profiles higher rankings in the future.
The offspring of this is that if you want to rank well in search results in the future, you will need to have google +. Also establishing a profile and building up followers will take time so best to get started sooner rather than later.
Here are some steps to get you started from a post on the TeethWise blog:
1. Start using the Google + network – Firstly set up a profile on there. You will find lots of people you interact with on other social networks are already on there. You can also join groups to help you find people with similar interests to you. Start sharing your content on the Google + network. Build up your circles and start liking and commenting on people’s content. Although the layout is different and can be a little confusing at first it is a good and active network.
2. Create and share good content – As we all know content is king. If you are creating content anyway through your blog or site why not share on Google + and improve your search ranking. Keep your blogs relevant, informative, personal and educational and share it on the Google+ network.
3. Add google authorship details to your blog – This is easy to do and links all your blog posts back to your Google + profile. This has the added advantage of showing your photo and author details beside your posts in google search results. I am noticing more and more people have these authorship details logged and I’m afraid you are falling behind if you don’t.
4. Make you content easily to share – I’m sure most people are doing this already but make sure your content is easy to share on the google network by including G+ buttons.
5. Make your posts public – Posts shared privately don’t pass the same link juice as publicly shared post. For SEO purposes, you likely want your posts spread as wide as possible.
‘Tis the season for teeth sensitivity and teeth aches that come with the unlimited hot cocoa drinks and freezing cold temperatures. Tooth sensitivity can be a real pain in the winter.
You should visit your dentist even if the pain quickly goes away. Dentists will be able to determine whether the pain is coming from a cavity or a root that is exposed. Worn tooth enamel can also be the cause of tooth sensitivity. In some cases you could be lucky enough to only need to switch your toothpaste to one that is designed for sensitive teeth, but in worse cases, the pain could be caused from tooth decay or an infection. Whatever the cause may be, it is good to know sooner than later. Here are several ways to help strengthen your teeth so you can get through the winter without sensitive teeth:
Avoid over-brushing
This is the simplest tip you can do to avoid having sensitive teeth. When you over-brush, you risk losing tooth enamel that has been built up to protect the surface of your teeth. Over-brushing is unnecessary and can lead to even worse teeth problems. Try using a soft bristle brush with non-abrasive toothpaste.
Change your toothpaste
There are numerous toothpaste products on the market that are designed for sensitive teeth. Find one that suits you best per your dentist’s recommendation. Desensitizing toothpaste is ideal to minimize tooth aches and pains that are a result of sensitive teeth.
Use a fluoride treatment
There are fluoride treatments such as rinses and gels that work to protect your teeth and strengthen your tooth enamel. A gel will cover each tooth and protect the nerves inside of each tooth and seal your gums which will cover your roots.
Limit acid and sugar from your diet
Foods and drinks that have acid and sugar in them can be a great source of tooth pain and cause tooth decay. Cutting out items like soda, yogurt, wine will benefit your teeth. It is also a good idea not to brush your teeth right after having something acidic because the enamel has been softened. Using a straw is also the best way to avoid these liquid getting on your teeth.
Just because winter is here, that doesn’t mean you have to go the whole season with tooth pain cause by sensitive teeth. Take these few steps into consideration on a daily basis and you will be pain free all winter.

The new DentLab Manager Client Portal adds a feature every dental laboratory can take advantage of.
After analizing the needs and, of course, the input of DentLab Manager users, we found out that order registration puts away time from both dentist and technician.
Now with the Client Portal available online, the dentist can log in to an account in DentLab Manager were order fulfillment is available.
I came across the following information written by Julie Revelant which is timeless and always useful for pregnant women.
You’ve cut down on coffee, nixed sushi, and exercise most days, but what you may not realize is that oral health is just as important when you’re pregnant.
Dental problems during pregnancy are quite common, with approximately 40 percent of women who have gingivitis, cavities, and periodontitis, according to a recent report by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). And left untreated, many conditions can be harmful to you and your baby.
Here, find out why dental problems are more common during pregnancy, if you’re at risk, and what you can do about it.
Pregnancy gingivitis and more.
One of the most common dental conditions is pregnancy gingivitis, which can cause red, tender, and swollen gums that bleed easily. Some women may even develop a benign tumor in their mouths, which can be removed or will resolve itself after giving birth, according to Dr. Joseph Banker, founder of Creative Dental Care in Westfield, NJ.
Pregnancy gingivitis occurs because the increase in the hormone progesterone during pregnancy causes an exaggerated response to the plaque that’s already in your mouth. “The reaction to those toxins and those poisons from the plaque build-up is increased,” according to Dr. Amanda Seay, Orbit for Kids gum spokesperson.
And even if you’re diligent about brushing and flossing, pregnancy gingivitis can still be a problem. If left untreated, it can lead to periodontal disease, which studies show increases your risk for having a preterm and low birth weight baby.
Plus, if you have a history of periodontal disease, you’re more likely to have dental problems during pregnancy as well.
If you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant, here’s what you can do to prevent dental problems.
Brush and floss.
Brushing after every meal and flossing at least once a day are the best ways to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Go one step further with an alcohol-free rinse and a tongue scraper which both remove bacteria, Banker said.
Go to the dentist.
According to the same ACOG report, between 2007 and 2009, 35 percent of women had not seen a dentist within the past year and more than half had not seen one during pregnancy either. Experts agree that if you’re trying to become pregnant or undergoing infertility treatment, getting your oral health in check beforehand is a no-brainer.
Get cleanings every 6 months or more.
Research shows there is no risk having routine dental care during pregnancy, and dental cleanings are your best line of defense. Every 6 months is ideal, but your dentist may recommend more frequent cleanings especially if you have a history of gingivitis or periodontal disease.
Eat right.
It can be a challenge to eat healthy when you’re dealing with morning sickness, but trying to avoid sticky foods and eating course, fiber-filled fruits and vegetables, nuts, and cheese can help. If you drink soda or coffee with sugar, have a cup but don’t sip on it all day, Banker said.
Chew gum and drink water.
“Saliva is the greatest natural defense mechanism that we have,” Seay said. If it’s been hours between brushing, chewing a sugar free gum with xylitol can increase the salivary flow which washes away food debris, neutralizes plaque acids, and keeps bacteria at bay. After a meal, drinking a glass of water can help too.
Treat infections.
“If there’s an emergency, you have to deal with it,” Banker said. And the risk of infection from an untreated dental problem, like an abscess, poses a greater risk to you and your baby than the dental procedure itself. In fact, a dental infection can cause pre-eclampsia, pre-term birth, developmental delays—even miscarriage.
New ACOG recommendations say dental x-rays are safe since most dentists now use digital x-rays, which have 10 to 20 percent of the previous amount of radiation. Plus, the abdominal shield and thyroid collar, “blocks out almost—if not all—the radiation that would even get near the developing baby,” Banker said.

While visiting a dental laboratory, you would surely want to get professional and reliable services. In order to ensure this, it is important that the lab that you are going to visit is extremely careful about safety issues and uses advanced dental lab equipment, apart from following updated dental technology.
Every day, the dental professionals come in contact with a number of microorganisms, which can cause life threatening diseases like hepatitis B virus (HBV), tuberculosis, and even Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). As the new HTM regulations have suggested, dental professionals must offer quality health services to all the patients and to do this, complete decontamination of the different dental lab equipments is a must.
Apart from autoclaving or sterilizing the dental non-surgical as well as surgical devices, the employees at dental laboratory have to be extremely careful while coming in direct contact with dental devices and patients. Thus, the risk of your employees getting infected by microorganisms is eliminated apart from ensuring that your clinical environment is absolutely hygienic.
In order to ensure the safety of the professionals working in dental labs, there are different types of effective personal protective equipments available in the market, including eye protection devices, gloves, masks, protective clothing, and face shield etc. Wearing gloves are one of the best tricks to avoid direct contact with patient’s mucus membranes or mucus. It is advisable to remove the gloves after treating one patient and re-glove before treating the next patient.
Alternatively, one can also use disposable gloves. It is a must to wear medicated gloves while dealing with advanced technology like full contour Zirconia which is one of the most popular trends these days and offers effective solutions to the patients. One can also utilize utility gloves that are used for cleaning environmental surfaces. Dental lab equipment too can be re-used after decontamination. But if there is any sort of puncture or crack, it would be better to discard them.

When I started working on DentLab Manager, the first challenge was to improve the usability of the system. The goal was allowing the user to go over the screens using only the tab key. At the time, my work was based on doing this on the order screen, which includes many fields. Because of that, we had to analyze with detail which of those were the most used fields during the creation or edition of an order, and finally which could be the best sequence to go over them, bearing in mind our clients suggestions.
Then the same procedure was applied to other screens. Although we are continually making improvements, at this point the challenge was to improve the performance of DentLab Manager to enhance the user experience. That was a hard work for the team, based on client's feedback, and looking for those spots where the system spent an amount of time larger than expected. We analyzed each of them, in order to find the best solution which means greater performance in a less time. We hope we have successfully fulfilled our task, which will never end, because we will always look for further improvement.
I have not always applied improvements to DentLab Manager, I have also been dedicated, along with the development team to implement new features, some of them are called "modules".
The first one was about the exportation of accounting data files, which would then be used in third party accounting systems. This meant a great challenge for the whole team, which has always taken every implementation of a new functionality very seriously and respectfully. In this case we had a new challenge, being able to generate files that comply with requirements of external systems. To carry out this module implementation, it was necessary the direct interaction with customers who were interested in this module, gathering data on the required configuration and different file formats, to meet the requirements set forth. The customers’ cooperation was decisive, to validate and corroborate that the implementation complied with their expectations and the requirements of each external system used by them.
After this module many others were implemented, the one that I enjoyed developing the most, was the barcode module. When our product owner told us that we had to implement a module to facilitate user's work on an order simply by using bar codes, we thought this would be a very good challenge to test us again. The specifications were clear, using bar codes, we had to provide DentLab Manager’s users a simple way to grab and close procedures in a requisition, add material to a product, and associate batches codes of materials within an order. So after meetings, analysis and conclusions, we developed the module that makes possible to print a report from a requisition which contains bar codes for the order, products, materials and procedures thereof. DentLab Manager’s users, through these bar codes are able to perform the required tasks without keyboard or mouse usage, only with the bar code scanner.
Once we received congratulations from customers who use the barcode module, we were happy to have reached their expectations. Thus , day by day, we also address the questions and suggestions from our customers, we are always looking for a new DentLab Manager improvement to enhance the user's experience , as well as new challenges that invite us to investigate and learn a bit more about our customers and their needs to turn them into DentLab Manager’s functionalities.
Dental Practice loans are a great way to provide expansion capital for your business.
Tax time is here and many business owners are not as excited as individuals who file and are expecting a large tax return, especially a business that will owe taxes to the IRS.
Many dental practices find after getting their taxes done that they will owe money to the government. The fact that additional cash flow is needed many businesses are unable to find the money they need to pay their taxes through traditional sources such as banks.
Once funding is available through a bank statement loan the dental practice may use the funds for any purpose. Pay bills, pay taxes, expansion, pay staff, buy new and used equipment.
Many alternative funding companies do exist such as Small Business Loans Depot. These business have various types of programs that can generate cash flow for many businesses and allow them to use their current used equipment assets.
This is an idea program for dental practices looking to do various types of things for their businesses.
Right now due to an uncertain economy, businesses need additional cash flow. Business owners cannot expect to go to a bank and receive unlimited amounts of cash to fund their business plans.
Some dental practices still feel they have the ability to go to their bank and find the additional cash flow to pay bills, taxes or fund their expansion plans. Once they apply and are denied they find themselves in a very dire situation and unable to operate without any cash flow.
When dental practices expand using additional cash flow, it is a very good investment.
The first thing most business owners do is to buy additional inventory. This is a good way to pay for additional marketing and advertising to supplement the additional inventory.
When companies need alternative funding, Small Business Loans Depot is a good way to provide additional cash flow through its specialized sale leaseback program The sale leaseback program generates cash for small businesses using their current used equipment assets.
The program is ideal for dental practices looking to expand or hire new staff or purchase new equipment.
The process involves using many types of equipment assets common to businesses as collateral. Up to 80 % of current value of equipment may be obtained.
This involves using a fast, easy and convenient way to obtain capital with a one page application. There are significant tax advantages that are geared to assist the business owner.

Christmas is right around the corner and with Christmas comes a lot of yummy foods and drinks. While we all want to enjoy these things, it’s also a good idea to take extra good care of your oral health these holidays.
In order to take care of your teeth, gums, and mouth this Christmas season, follow these tips and you will end this season as well as you started it.
1. Take note of how many sugary foods you are eating.
While no one expects you to stay away from mom’s famous rum cake or Aunt Betsy’s yummy Christmas cake, it should be noted that these foods and other sweet dishes do have a lot of sugar in them. Just be sure to floss and brush after eating sweet food items this holiday season.
2. Keep up with your routine!
Even on Christmas day when it’s time to open presents, it’s important to remember to brush and floss your teeth before opening gifts. Sure, the kids might make a fuss, but it will definitely be worth it in the long run.
3. You can eat good foods this season and still take care of your teeth.
Food like cranberries and cheese are actually good for your teeth, in moderation! But, cranberries can also contain a lot of acid which can eat away at your teeth as well. Cheese has also been proven to return your mouth back to its natural acidic balanced self – which helps with preventing tooth decay.
4. Use your teeth for what they are meant for–chewing and smiling!
Using your teeth for opening bottles or opening packages is never a good idea. Not only can you chip your teeth this way, but you can actually pull whole teeth out right by the root, which will hurt! So, if you need to open a bottle; use a bottle opener.
5. Moderation is everything.
It doesn’t matter if it’s during Christmas or other food oriented holidays like Halloween or any other time. Moderation in what you eat and drink can have a good effect on your teeth and gums along with routinely brushing.

Underserved patients have benefited from $1,112,469.00 worth of dentistry at no cost to them over the last year. This dental work was performed on patient populations who might not otherwise receive or been able to afford these services.
The patient participants in these programs are typically phobic patients who have avoided dental work for many years not only because they can't afford treatment; they are also very fearful. Dental work included cleanings, extractions, fillings and endodontic dentistry treatments as part of an I.V. or Parenteral Sedation Training Program hosted by Conscious Sedation Consulting in association with dental clinics nationally.
Sedation for this patient population is an excellent solution. Randy Pigg, BSN, chief executive officer at Sedation Consulting, says, "The patients just don't want to see, feel or remember anything, in the hands of doctors with appropriate training, I.V. sedation can provide this safely for many patients."
The programs are part of the clinical component of a comprehensive post doctorate continuing education program for dentists to obtain parenteral sedation permits in their perspective states. Presented throughout the U.S., each doctor participant administers intravenous sedation to at least 20 patients while supervised by an anesthesia provider. Patients are volunteers that have agreed to have their dental work done while sedated.
Mr. Pigg who has participated in several medical missions oversees stated, "The company was started to provide quality anesthesia training for dentists and staff in response to the many adverse events being reported in dental and oral surgeons offices nationally as related to sedation. We have trained many doctors nationally with practices and techniques used in medicine to increase patient safety and to provide these doctors with the skill sets to handle medical emergencies and manage the airway. So when the opportunity presented itself to provide quality education to these dentists and be able to provide needed dental treatments to underserved communities here at home, we jumped at the chance. It has been inspirational to see these doctors learn these skills and apply their talents to make such a large contribution to the lives of others and they are the ones that deserve all the credit."
The company which is comprised of medical and dental anesthesia providers stated that it looks forward to expanding these offerings to additional communities throughout the country and that volunteers who would be interested in participating can contact the company at the number below or email at info(at)sedationconsulting(dot)com.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. With the way the internet is affecting everything, it was only a matter of time before it started reminding you to take care of your teeth.
Researchers at National Taiwan University have unveiled a new “App” that monitors the bad habits that can lead to tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss.
Using a tiny sensor that’s connected to a person’s tooth, the researchers were able to keep track of how often the person smoked cigarettes, ate entirely too much candy and drank too much tooth-staining coffee. Because the sensor is so well-refined, it could tell when a person was talking, coughing, laughing or chomping on gummy bears.
It could also track how often or not the study’s subjects were brushing and flossing–looks like your dentist just found a high-tech way to help you stay on track between your regularly scheduled checkups and cleanings.
The data the researchers gathered could someday help dentists understand the best way to treat their patients. For example, it can measure tooth grinding, chewing patterns and other behavior that could inform dentists on how to best help their patients keep their teeth, gums and mouths healthy.
But don’t worry, the final product is still likely years away, so you still have some time to quit smoking and work on cutting down on the amount of sticky, sugary sweets you have in your diet, although the sooner you do both, the better. The researchers still need to figure out how to keep the device powered. Right now it uses a cord that hangs out of the person’s mouth.
Soon, though. Very soon dentists will know exactly what’s going on in your mouth.
Taking care of oral hygiene is equally important as taking care of the physical hygiene. When it comes to teeth, you must know how a tooth gets converted into an adult tooth. Basically, there are 3 stages in which a tooth gets transformed into an adult tooth. First of all, there are five parts of a tooth namely, Dentin, Root, Tooth bud, Enamel, Pulp and Tooth bud. In the birth stage of a tooth there are typically 5 stages such as The Bud stage, The cap stage, The Bell stage, The crown stage, The Permanent teeth stage and The Older tooth stage.
These stages guide individuals how they must take care of their teeth at each stage. For instance, infants must be guided against the baby bottle decay and ensure that he is receiving sufficient fluoride. Seniors must take care of their teeth by brushing twice a day and taking periodical dental visits to ensure that the gums and teeth are healthy. When it comes to teenagers and adults, they must brush on a regular basis with a fluoride tooth paste and limit starchy foods. Periodical dental check-ups are advisable. Children must be advised to brush and floss their teeth regularly. Additionally, regular dental visits are also recommended.
All these tips and advices will ensure that you and your family is orally healthy. Do not forget that teeth are an important part of our body lifecycle and thus these not to be cared at utmost priority. If you still face any problems in your teeth, you can take dental assistance from a reputable dentist. On the World Wide Web, you can find the most well-known clinics specializing in excellent dental services all across the globe.
