Perhaps we will even add your question to our list.
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.
