The NTI™ device is an alternative approach to relief from migraine and tension headaches without the use of drugs. It is an FDA-approved oral appliance that prevents the onset of most headaches by allowing muscles under the scalp to relax.
Clinical tests have shown overwhelmingly positive results. Over three-quarters of patients who used the NTI device achieved a 77% reduction in head and neck pain. This appliance is easy to use, quick to bring results, and very affordable. If you suffer from severe headaches, let us help you have the relief you seek.
We use the latest technologies available in dentistry to make our services less time-consuming and add to a patient's comfort. The Isolite™ device is a combination of suction to remove saliva and debris and a brilliant light to illuminate the oral cavity. The suction provides dryness in the area to be worked on, which is very necessary for modern dental procedures. With the Isolite device, an uncomfortable rubber dam doesn't need to be placed in the mouth. The bright light eliminates any shadows in the oral cavity, which allows Dr. Miller and Dr. Squires to do the most accurate work. And overall, the procedure moves along more quickly, so patients spend less time in the dental chair. Southridge Dental 2811 12 Avenue Road Nampa, ID 83686 (208) 466-2458 Southridge-Dental.com

The solution: Bitter-tasting nail polishes, stress reduction and setting small, realistic goals can help. If certain situations are triggers, hold something to keep your fingers busy.

The habit: Brushing for two minutes twice a day is one of the best habits you can get into. Just make sure you’re not trying too hard. “Brushing with a hard toothbrush, or brushing too hard, can damage teeth and irritate gums,” says Dr. Matthew Messina. The solution: Use a soft toothbrush with the ADA Seal of Acceptance at the proper pressure. “Don’t think ‘scrub.’ Think ‘massage,’” he says. “Save the hard toothbrush for cleaning the grout in the bathroom tile.” To read the entire article please visit MouthHealthy.org
With the intra-oral camera, patients work together with Dr. Miller and Dr. Squires in making decisions for your best dental health. This miniature video camera provides a clear and enlarged picture of the interior of your mouth to let you see what teeth need attention. You will be able to discuss options with your doctor for the best course of action to take care of the problem.
