Corpus Christi Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Tilman Richards, Now Utilizes the Latest Technology in Professional Teeth Whitening for Texas Patients Looking for a Bright Smile

(PRWEB) October 04, 2012

Tilman Richards, DDS, now offers in-office teeth whitening as well as tray-based dental whitening options for people who want to whiten their teeth. As a cosmetic dentist, Dr. Richards knows how important it is for people to have white teeth, and wants to educate Texans on the different teeth whitening options and their benefits.

Many people utilize teeth whitening products that are available at a local drug store or pharmacy. While these products are very convenient and seem affordable, they do not provide reliable results. In fact, when one looks at the actual amount of whitening that these products provide, one can see that visiting a cosmetic dentist is truly the affordable teeth whitening solution. Some of the problems with over-the counter whitening systems include low-strength bleaching agents, mouthpiece trays that do not fit properly and gum irritation or sensitivity.

Dr. Richards offers in-office whitening as the quickest path to whiter teeth. Depending on the number of shades that teeth need to be lightened, it may take one or more dental visits. The teeth have a whitening agent applied to them and a special light is used to speed the process up. After each 30 to 60 minute session, one will usually immediately see the results. Another method is a tray-based whitener. The cosmetic dentist customizes plastic trays to fit the patient’s teeth using impressions. Dr. Richards then provides a bleaching solution to the patient who fills the trays with solution and wears them daily for a couple of hours or through the night. The length of treatment depends on how many levels of whitening are wanted.

People are more likely to smile if they are not embarrassed by the way their smiles look. White teeth are a confidence booster and can be achieved through a number of different procedures. People who are thinking about whitening their teeth should explore the different options to determine which is best for them.

Secrets You Need To Know About Dyslexia That Will Save Your Child’s Self-Esteem: An Interview With Susan Barton, founder of Bright Solutions For Dyslexia

The harsh reality when it comes to dyslexia is this – you can’t afford to wait for your child’s school to figure it out because that may never happen. Studies show one in five kids struggles with dyslexia, but federal education laws don’t require schools to screen or test for it. And a child who can’t keep up with peers, who’s embarrassed when another child sees his class work, or who feels stupid every day at school is at risk for lifelong emotional scarring.

The Luma Center Introduces Nemours Bright Start!, an Innovative Program For Children Who Show Early Signs of Dyslexia

(PRWEB) September 22, 2011

The Luma Center for Development and Learning (http://www.lumacenter.org) today announced that this fall it will begin offering Nemours BrightStart!, an innovative pre-reading program for young children who show early signs of dyslexia or may be at risk for reading challenges.

Nemours BrightStart, developed by Nemours Childrens Health System, is a specialized program for literacy success in at-risk children. Through systematic instruction and carefully designed, engaging, multisensory activities, 4- and 5-year-old children learn the foundational skills that will support them in learning to read. A study of at-risk children in Florida conducted by Nemours showed that children who participated in the program showed dramatic increases in reading readiness test scores compared to children who did not.

We are very excited to be able to offer a great research based program for our young children at risk for reading challenges, said Nancy Allard, MA, OTR/L, Director of The Luma Center. We work with many families who have one or more children with learning differences. For their children, this program will be such a great jump start to help build the foundation for success in learning to read.

The Luma Center will offer screenings for BrightStart! October 4 and 6 to identify children who could benefit from the program. Lumas BrightStart! program will consist of 20 weeks of twice-weekly small-group sessions taught by an experienced early childhood teacher. The BrightStart! curriculum integrates classic childrens literature and music with fun, multisensory lesson materials. While creating and tracing gluey, gooey Gs to learn to recognize letter forms, listening to read-alouds, or engaging in creative movement activities, children learn critical concepts of oral language, print awareness, letter knowledge, phonological awareness and emergent writing.

More information about the BrightStart! screening and enrollment process is available at http://www.lumacenter.org.

BrightStart! is just one of the innovative, specialized early learning programs offered to children and families by The Luma Center. All programs are taught by highly trained professionals with expertise in child development, including:
