A great article about changes in dentistry, from Dr. Natalie Amann

The world around us is always changing and evolving, whether it’s the latest gadget you ordered online or the high-tech dental treatment from Dr. Amann's office! Recently, we read an article in the New York Times about dental implants, and how they are becoming increasingly favored over bridges to replace lost teeth. One thing to remember about dental implants is that they need to be cared for just like your regular teeth; daily brushing and flossing are a must!

Dr. Amann's Inauguration as President of the Pennsylvania Academy of General Dentistry!

Last weekend, Dr. Natalie Amann, dentist in King of Prussia, PA, was inaugurated as the president of the Pennsylvania Academy of General Dentistry (PAGD). The statewide organization is the largest in Pennsylvania to focus solely on general dentist, with over 1600 members. The purpose of the PAGD is to advance the field of general dentistry in Pennsylvania through education of general dentists and their patients.

Dr. Amann was inaugurated at the PAGD's annual meeting, held from May 13th-16th at the Inn at Ponoco Manor, PA. Dr. Amann is committed to providing the highest quality dental care to all our patients in KOP, and continuing education organizations such as PAGD are critical to this commitment. Congratulations Dr. Amann!

Smile, and you might just live longer!

Folks with big smiles may actually live than those who don’t, according to a March 2010 study at Michigan’s Wayne State University. Dr. Amann has known for quite some time that positive emotion has been linked to both physical and mental health, but researchers at the university did something quite interesting: they looked at photos of 230 ball-players who began their careers in baseball prior to 1950 and studied their smile intensity (ranging from big smile, no smile or partial smile). The players' smile ratings were compared with data from deaths that occurred from 2006 through 2009. The researchers then took into account other factors that impact life longevity, including body mass index, career length and even college attendance.

The results? Researchers found that players who weren't smiling in the photos lived to the average age of 72.9 years. Players with partial smiles lived to be 75. Those with big smiles, however, lived on average to be 79.9 years old.

The take-away from the new study? Smile now, smile often and you might just live longer! Have you been perfecting your smile by visiting Dr. Amann on a regular basis? If not, give us a call!
