How does Dr. Kanbar keep up-to-date on all of the current techniques and materials?
By law, dentists in Massachusetts are required to take 20 hours of continuing dental education each year. Dr. Kanbar and Dr. Roman and their associates spend much more time than that each year in dental courses. Dr. Kanbar also subscribes to the latest industry journals to keep tabs on research and development in the dental industry. He is a member of American Dental Associations as well as local dental association. As a team, and as individuals, our office makes it our responsibility to be familiar with the latest techniques and materials available.

My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?
It is certainly not desirable to have bleeding gums following brushing. However, condition may require a variety of treatments. Bleeding gums can be caused by any of the following: improper, rough, ‘scrubbing’ instead of gentle, circular brushing motions; using a hard-bristled tooth brush instead of a soft one; plaque and/or tartar build-up below the gum line; or gum sensitivity due to gingivitis or periodontal disease. If this problem persists despite correct brushing and flossing methods or occurs every time you brush, contact our office to set up an evaluation appointment.
