A photo of the Team at the booth is now on Face Book.  Please check it out!  The weather was incredible on 10/21/12 and we educated at least 500 people about Oral Cancer.  This was a great Benefit and we look forward to doing it again next year!  Thank You Carol, Mike, and Michelle for making it a successful day!

Dr. Oyangen’s Dental Office is attending, “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” event hosted by the American Cancer Society.  It will be held in the Washington Park Parade Grounds in Albany, NY, on Sunday October 21, 2012 beginning at 10 AM.  The office team will be there to promote Oral Cancer Screenings using a VELscope Vx enhanced oral assessment system.

 All proceeds collected for this in-office assessment and any other contributions until the end of the year will be donated to the American Cancer Society to support the efforts of Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

 Dr. Oyangen is personally involved with this fight for a cure since his mother lost her battle with this disease.  Please come out to support this fund raiser and Make Strides to Fight Breast Cancer! 

Schedule your assessment today!  Many have followed suit, and our donation pot it getting larger!

A word from our hygeinist, Carol, on Whitening

Many people ask us if whitening toothpastes are actually effective at making teeth whiter.  Whitening toothpastes chemically or mechanically help to remove “extrinsic” stain on the surface.  There is no evidence that they can whiten teeth that have “intrinsic” stain; discoloration inside the tooth.  These whitening toothpastes do not change the pigment or remove color from the teeth like bleaching agents do.

 The “whitening” agents in toothpastes are abrasives used to rub off stains from the tooth surface commonly caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, or red wine.  These toothpastes also contain enzymes that break down the proteins in stains.  Such as the tannins present in red wine, fruit juices and food products.  If you desire a whiter smile; your dentist or hygienist can advise you on which whitening method would be best for you. 

Dr. Oyangen is on the brink of something new

He is developing a new business, Capital District Sleeps, on Sleep Apnea using a dental appliance!
It will be at "Need More Sleep.com" and "Capital District Sleeps.com"

- Coming Soon!

 We are changing the name of the business as well.    The office will now be "Advanced Aesthetics Dentistry!"
