1965 was a big year for the world — and, on a somewhat smaller scale (we suppose), it was a big year for Norwood. That was the year Central Dental Associates first opened its doors to our community. We’ve been providing excellent general and family dentistry ever since — and we were so proud to celebrate our 50th anniversary in our newly renovated office.

Brushing and flossing your teeth properly is one of the best ways to help keep your oral health in check. If you think about all of the bacteria and food particles that float around your mouth during the course of a day, it’s no wonder why brushing and flossing is so important.

Do you wear dentures, or do you know someone close to you who wears dentures? If so, then you know they can cause some embarrassing moments. Like when you’re about to take a bite of food and all of the sudden your top dentures drop. Or when you’re talking and your speech is interspersed with the clicking sound of loose dentures.

Cosmetic dentistry is one of the most popular areas of dentistry. Changing the appearance of your smile can pay dividends.

The oral-systemic connection is undeniable. What happens in your mouth doesn’t just stay in your mouth—and that’s not even considering the foods and beverages that nourish the rest of your body. The bacteria that lives in your mouth can spread to other organs, causing disease. More often than not, these bacteria gain entrance to the blood stream via your gums, which is why gum health is so important. 
Is there anything more precious than your little ones’ smiles? Well yes—knowing that those smiles are healthy, too. At 
Is everyone in your family up-to-date with their dental checkups? If it’s been more than six months since their last dental exam, they may be unnecessarily endangering their good health.
