Dental infections can come in many forms. The most common is the dental
cavity. Cavities are, simply put, a bacterial infection of the tooth.
Unfortunately there is no antibiotic on the market today that can cure this
type of infection. The optimal treatment for this type of infection is
early recognition and restoration (filling). Sometimes these cavities or
infections can go unnoticed until they get deep enough to begin causing pain
or sensitivity in the tooth. If left untreated at this stage the infection
can proceed into the nerve of the tooth at which point the tooth may need a
root canal. The infection can proceed beyond the tooth at this point to
infect the surrounding bone and tissues which can result in more intense
pain and swelling. If the infection is allowed to spread beyond this point
it can cause sever health risks like sepsis (a very serious infection of the
blood).
All this comes from just one little tooth! At Weiss Waldee and Associates
we like to focus on prevention. Correcting problems before they become
problems is absolutely the best treatment for our patients and our treatment
recommendations are founded on this philosophy. If you think you may have a
cavity make an appointment today for an evaluation, your teeth will thank
you!

At Dr Weiss Waldee and Associates we handle new patient visits a little
differently than the average office. Our philosophy is simple; excellence,
education, and service. As a new patient in our practice your first visit
with us is usually around an hour. In addition to giving you a thorough
hard and soft tissue examination, this extended time gives us the
opportunity to fully discuss your concerns and needs as a patient as well as
educating you about your dental problems and the recommended solutions. We
at Weiss Waldee and Associates firmly believe that spending the extra time
making you feel welcome with lay the foundation for a great relationship in
the future. We are looking forward to working with you!

One of the main benefits of working with a group like Weiss Waldee
and Associates is the chance to solve your dental problems with a number of
professionals and specialists all in the same building. At Weiss Waldee and
Associates we approach patient care as a team. Each individual contributes
his or her knowledge and expertise for the benefit of the whole.
Another big advantage of working with a group is extended hours of
operation. At Weiss Waldee and Associates we work 6 days a week, including
Saturday. This gives us a unique opportunity to handle dental emergencies
whenever they occur. If you have a dental emergency or just a really tight
weekly schedule be sure to take full advantage of our weekend hours and contact the sedattion dentists.

Do you have an upper or lower denture? Are you happy with the fit
and feel of that denture? Often people with upper and especially lower
dentures deal with the very common problem of lack of retention on a daily
basis. A loose fitting denture is more than an inconvenience or an
occasional embarrassment in social situations. Loose fitting dentures can
lead to poor nutrition by causing you to avoid certain hard to chew foods
like green vegetables. Fortunately Dr Weiss Waldee and Associates has the
solution. Implant therapy is an excellent way to give your dentures new
life. With dental implants the denture retention and stability is greatly
enhanced. This not only can increase your comfort and nutrition it can
change the way you feel about yourself. If you’ve been suffering with loose
fitting dentures its time to make a change for the better with dental
implants.

Do you suffer from frequent headaches, jaw pain, migraines, or
muscle aches around the neck and jaw? This could be a sign of Myofascial
Pain Dysfunction or Tempromandibular Dysfunction. Myofascial Pain is a
disorder of the muscles of the face, jaw, and neck that can result in
headaches, muscle aches, and can exacerbate migraine headaches.
Tempromandibular Dysfunction or TMD is a disorder specific to the jaw joints
and can result in chronic clicking or popping in the jaws or even pain and
limited opening with the jaws. Dr Henry, a recent addition to our team, has
received specialized training in how to deal with these and other chronic
pain disorders of the face neck and jaw. If feel you may be dealing with
these or other types of head and neck pain make an appointment today!

At Dr Weiss Waldee and Associates, our specialized anesthesia
training has led us to serve a unique patient base. Special needs patients
or patients with mental disabilities often have trouble at the dentist and
many need some form of sedation. Often their complex medical history makes
it rather difficult to treat these patients. At our office we have over 20
years experience of success in treating these unique individuals and work
closely with the Medicaid Waiver program. Our office has gained a
reputation in Florida attracting special needs individuals from across the
state.
