Are your teeth giving you a headache?
Do you suffer from headaches? Have you been diagnosed with migraines? Many people live their daily lives with severe headaches or facial pain without any relief. Other symptoms common to headache sufferers are ear pain and congestion, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, and even neck tension or pain. Unfortunately, many people have been treated by numerous physicians throughout their lives without any improvement in their symptoms. The last person most people would turn to for a cure would be their dentist; however your bite could be the cause of your chronic headaches!
Depending on a dentist’s training and experience in this area, they should be able to determine if a patient has a poor bite through a thorough exam and precise measurements. People are often frustrated because previous forms of treatment have been unsuccessful. Fortunately, we are able to tell if a person is a candidate for this type of therapy before any action begins. This makes people very comfortable with pursuing this treatment when they are confident they will benefit from it.
Dental Tip of the Month
Are you experiencing any of these symptoms on a regular basis? Looking for answers?
Dr. Doolin and Dr. Haddad will be giving a presentation that includes discussing the latest techniques in headache and TMJ treatment at the Women’s Lifestyle’s Extravaganza October 22nd and 23rd at 1:00pm at Macomb CC Sports and Expo Center.
Their presentation:
“”Exploring the Hottest Topics in Dentistry: Cosmetics, TMJ/Headache treatment, and Sleep Apnea,” will be given both days of the event. The doctors will be available throughout the day answering questions and providing additional information for attendees.
Many headaches can be part of undiagnosed Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder or an abnormal bite. 90% of all headaches are considered “muscle tension headaches,” and can be directly related to a person’s unbalanced bite. Many people diagnosed with migraines can actually be suffering from these muscle tension headaches.
This syndrome is the source of chronic pain for many, and can result in severe wear, or fracturing, of your teeth and restorations, leading to tooth loss. This viscous cycle results in an even more unbalanced bite causing a person’s headaches and pain to worsen over time. Most people would never think that their dentist could help with headaches, but we are improving the lives of our patients every day.

Have you ever thought about changing your smile?
Are you self-conscious when smiling for pictures? Do you ever put your hand up in front of your mouth when you laugh to hide your teeth? Do you want to regain that healthy, youthful smile you used to have? Maybe it’s time for you to finally invest in yourself and transform your teeth into the beautiful smile you have always wanted.
Cosmetic dentistry is performed to fix a variety of problems. Maybe you are uncomfortable with the size, shape or spacing of your teeth and are interested in porcelain veneers or bonding. Maybe you have crowding or crooked teeth because you never had orthodontics or stopped wearing your retainers. You may also be an excellent candidate for porcelain veneers, sometimes referred to as “instant orthodontics.” Maybe years of wear and tear dulled your once-bright smile, and you would like to rejuvenate it with advanced whitening techniques. Or maybe you have older dental work that looks unnatural and keeps you from smiling as much as you would like.
Whatever factors may be inhibiting your smile, Dr. Doolin and Dr. Haddad can help. Both Dr. Doolin and Dr. Haddad have been committed to excellence through continuing education. They are two of the few dentists in the area who have completed post-graduate training at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. “We feel that because of the rapid pace of change in Dentistry, our patients deserve to have their doctors learning these new and improved techniques. Our goal is to keep improving ourselves to better serve our patients,” says Dr. Haddad. By undergoing this intense cosmetic training, Dr. Doolin and Dr. Haddad have achieved clinical abilities that few dentists in the country possess, allowing them to provide their patients with only the best restorations and care possible.
Here are some things for you to consider when choosing the right cosmetic dentist… because not all cosmetic dentists are the same!
1. Continuing Education and experience: Dentists NEED to stay trained and educated in the latest technology and materials. Achieving great cosmetic outcomes takes a combination of artistry, proper technique, and an eye for detail. There are materials available today that are far superior to those used in the past; however, these materials are extremely technique-sensitive. Accordingly, your dentist needs to be specifically and properly trained on their use.
2. Before and After Smile Gallery on their website: Every dentist has their own approach and style, however seeing examples of smile makeovers they have performed on other patients should be a huge deciding factor for you. The goal for all smile enhancements should be a healthy, beautiful, and most importantly, a natural smile. No one should know that you have dental work in your mouth. They should only know that you have an attractive smile that exudes confidence and beauty. Make sure that the examples of the cosmetic dentist you are considering demonstrate that.
3. Comfort, Service, and the overall experience: Very few people truly enjoy going to the dentist, and many may even be fearful when considering especially larger cosmetic procedures. Therefore, some dentists choose to offer services that aid in making the experience more comfortable. Some of these amenities may include: refreshments before or after your appointment, massage chairs, headphones, nitrous oxide gas, and oral sedation or other relaxation methods. If these are services that you would value as a dental patient, inquire at the office you are considering to learn if they are offered.
Dr. Doolin and Dr. Haddad have changed the lives of hundreds of patients in the area by giving them the smile of their dreams. This is your opportunity to have them do the same for you.

Healthy Gum Tissue
At Rochester Advanced Dentistry we strive to maintain and promote healthy gum tissue. In the past "silver fillings" were often placed in teeth, in addition to being unattractive these fillings have also shown to cause irritation to gum tissue often due to less then ideal margins and/ or metal allergies
We only use materials that are of the highest quality and that have been proven to promote ideal tissue response.
All of our materials are BPA free.
For more information on tooth colored fillings please contact
