			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Dallas Porcelain Veneers and Instant Orthodontics" href="http://www.rusmiling.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/lp_porcelain-veneers.jpg" alt="Dallas Porcelain Veneers and Instant Orthodontics" align="right" /></a> If you have been paying attention to the Dallas orthodontics scene in recent years, you probably know about <a title="Dallas invisible braces" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/whatisinvisalign.html" target="_blank">invisible braces </a>and speed braces. These new teeth straightening procedures have been welcomed by many people, especially Dallas adults who want an alternative to traditional metal braces.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s more good news for the metroplex dentistry clients who want to straighten their teeth. How about &#8216;instant orthodontics&#8217;?</p>
<blockquote><p>If you want immediate teeth straightening, you can smile sooner with <a title="Dallas porcelain veneers" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/veneers.html" target="_blank">porcelain veneers</a> from Travis Walk Dental Care!</p></blockquote>
<p>The key to achieving a celebrity smile may be porcelain veneers for your teeth from a <a title="Dallas dentist" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/" target="_blank">Dallas dentist</a>. Drs.  Miranda and Lepard at Travis Walk Dental Care can help you determine if porcelain veneer dentistry is for you. Ongoing education is essential for elite cosmetic dentists who work to continually provide the latest procedures and materials for their cosmetic and orthodontic clients. We can help.</p>
<p>In addition to correcting tooth alignment, porcelain veneers are used to <strong>whiten teeth</strong> and <strong>restore chipped teeth</strong> in Mid-cities, Ft. Worth, and Dallas. <a title="Dallas porcelain veneers" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/cosmetic.html" target="_blank">Porcelain veneers</a> are attached to the front of teeth and often require no removal of healthy tooth structure. Another advantage? They are less expensive than complete crown restorations but look just as natural. -Actually, they look far better than most natural teeth!</p>
<p>For an instant orthodontic consultation, call Travis Walk Dental Care at <strong><span class="dynamic-phone-number">214-206-9633</span></strong>. Porcelain veneers may be the best way for you to receive a smile makeover at a fraction of the cost.</p>

<p>When is the last time you had a dental checkup? Most people in the Dallas area between the ages of 18 and 100 need a dental checkup every six months. If you live in Dallas and are at higher risk for oral diseases, you should have your teeth checked every four months, or at least three times a year.</p>
<p>Come into our office, located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117,  in Dallas Texas, or give us a call  at <strong><span class="dynamic-phone-number">214-206-9633</span></strong> to make a dental appointment. You can visit our website at <a title="http://www.rusmiling.com/" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/" target="_blank">www.rusmiling.com</a> for more information.</p>
<p>Most people in our Dallas community are in a medium to low risk category. However if you use tobacco or alcohol, eat a lot of sugar in your diet (including lots of soda), or have poor oral hygiene habits, you are likely in a higher risk category and should have your teeth checked right away.</p>
<p>I look at a lot of factors to determine your personal dental hygiene, and your dental outlook for your future. I want you to have the healthiest smile possible so that you can enjoy your teeth for many years without significant problems. If you live in the Dallas area and are ready to have your teeth checked, please give <a title="Travis Walk Dental Care" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/" target="_blank">Travis Walk Dental Care</a> a call.</p>
<p>Our classy and technologically advanced staff will be ready to get you started with a dental checkup.</p>
<p>Talk to you soon.</p>
<p>�Dr. Joseph Miranda, Dental check ups for the Dallas community</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Choosing A Dentist In Dallas" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/pages/about.htm" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.listpipe.com/blogimages/lp_question.jpg" alt="Choosing A Dentist In Dallas" align="right" /></a>The American Dental Association offers some welcome advice for <a title="choosing a dentist in Dallas" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/pages/about.htm" target="_blank">choosing a dentist in Dallas</a>. We have already talked about how word of mouth is an important factor in how many people find a dentist. Here are some things you should look for in an Dallas dentist:</p>
<p>Location is always a factor when <a title="choosing a Dallas dentist" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/pages/about.htm" target="_blank">choosing a dentist in Dallas</a>. If you live in the Dallas Texas area, there are many options, and most Dallas locations are not too far out of the way. While location plays an important role in convenience, many people are willing to drive a little farther for a better experience with their Dallas dentist.</p>
<p>Relationship is a strong factor. Your Dallas dentist should be approachable, and should make you feel comfortable when you are in the dentist chair. After all, your Dallas dentist will be working very close with you to help you achieve a high level of oral hygiene; you most certainly will want to have a good, professional, comfortable relationship with your Dallas dentist and the dental office staff.</p>
<p>Specialty is another important factor in <a title="choosing a dentist in Dallas" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/pages/about.htm" target="_blank">choosing a dentist in Dallas</a>. Some dentists specialize in <a title="Cosmetic Dentist" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/cosmetic.html#service" target="_blank">cosmetic dentistry</a>. Others specialize in corrective dentistry such as <a title="Invisalign invisible braces" href="http://www.rusmiling.com/whatisinvisalign.html#service" target="_blank">braces</a>. Depending on your need, you may select a local Dallas dentist who can solve your immediate concern. Bare in mind, however, that it is good to have a general dentist who can maintain your dental history and work with you to through the years.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a dentist in Dallas, please come by and speak with me. I can address your interest in any of these critical areas, and will be happy to introduce you to Travis Walk Dental Care.</p>
<p>I look forward to meeting you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Dallas Dentistry" href="http://www.rusmiling.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/lp_citydentist.jpg" alt="Educating Dallas Dental Patients About Little-Known Risks" align="right" /></a> Hi, I&#8217;m dentist Dr.  Miranda DDS. Most every day, I can be found at my Dallas area <a title="Dallas dental office" href="http://www.rusmiling.com" target="_blank">dental office</a> treating dental patients with tooth and gum problems or helping patients prevent them. There are many common medical conditions that pose a risk to oral health.</p>
<p>1) Dallas diabetes patients with high blood glucose often have a higher risk of dental issues. If you have diabetes, let&#8217;s talk. My number is <strong><span class="dynamic-phone-number">214-206-9633</span></strong>.</p>
<p>2) A persistent dry mouth due to an inadequate amount of saliva can accelerate tooth decay, cause or contribute to gum disease, and trigger chronic bad breath. Many medications used by thousands of Dallas folks, including those for high-blood pressure and depression, cause dry mouth. This side effect is not only unpleasant, it is dangerous. Anti-depressants (especially SSRI&#8217;s) and anti-psychotic drugs can also trigger tooth-grinding (bruxism).</p>
<p>3) Acid reflux in children and adults is associated with a host of dental problems such as decay and periodontal disease.</p>
<p>I help many Ft. Worth dental patients prevent problems associated with medical conditions that sometimes seem unrelated to dental health. Regular professional dental care is essential for oral health, and an important part of your overall physical health.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Infection, tooth damage, prolonged bleeding and swelling, and gum recession are just a few of the dangers and risks of oral piercings.  See your Dallas dentist before deciding on oral piercings, or call for a consultation if you already have damage.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Dallas The Dangers of Oral Piercing" href="http://www.rusmiling.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/lp_lippiercing.jpg" alt="The Dangers of Oral Piercing" align="right" /></a> If you live in the Dallas area and are considering piercing your lip or tongue, read this:</p>
<p><strong>Infection</strong><br />
Your mouth is full of bacteria. Any opening in the tissue carries the risk of infection. The germs from your tongue and mouth can easily get into your bloodstream. Dallas dentists and doctors are continually treating serious infections caused by oral piercings. Oral infections can be a real problem, and should be a major consideration before getting an oral piercing.</p>
<p><strong>Tooth Damage</strong><br />
It should come as no surprise that having a piece of metal bang around in your mouth can easily chip tooth enamel. Though tooth enamel is amazingly strong, once it’s chipped or cracked, it can only be restored with artificial material. Fortunately, <a title="Dallas Travis Walk Dental Care" href="http://www.rusmiling.com" target="_blank">Travis Walk Dental Care</a> in Dallas offers many tooth restoration options such as crowns and fillings, but our advice is to avoid the problem if you can.</p>
<p><strong>Prolonged Bleeding and Swelling</strong><br />
The blood vessels in the tongue are often damaged when the tongue is pierced, causing prolonged bleeding and possible build-up of scar tissue. In some cases, the tongue swells up enough to block the airway.</p>
<p><strong>Gum Recession</strong><br />
A number of <a title="periodontal disease studies" href="http://www.joponline.org/doi/abs/10.1902/jop.2000.71.11.1767" target="_blank">periodontal disease studies</a> have shown that wearing oral jewelry is linked to periodontal disease which can result in tooth loss. Periodontal disease, or &#8216;gum disease&#8217;, can cause gum recession and exposes the root of your teeth, potentially causing hyper sensitivity and pain. Again, our advice is to avoid the problem right from the start.</p>
<p>These are just a few of the dangers. Drs.  Miranda and Lepard at <a title="Dallas Travis Walk Dental Care" href="http://www.rusmiling.com" target="_blank">Travis Walk Dental Care</a> can give you more information about the risks of oral piercings. If you already have damage, call <span class="dynamic-phone-number">214-206-9633</span> to schedule a consultation.</p>
