With “Tongue ties,” the tissue (“frenulum”) that ties or anchors the tongue to the floor of the mouth is constrained. In turn, various “basic” functions are adversely affected because the tongue cannot move freely or naturally. As an experienced practitioner in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting craniofacial structures, Dr. Ramsin K. Davoud understands how tongue ties manifest differently. From our office in Turlock, California, Dr. Davoud first understands the nature of the tongue tie that may interfere with your child’s healthy development. Accurate diagnosis informs appropriate, effective treatment.  Types of tongue tie  The frenulum or tongue tie may be overly thicker, short, or tight, or … Continue reading “Advanced diagnostics and expertise supports prompt, effective care of tongue tie early in childhood”

By managing your oral health, you also reduce your risk of developing systemic conditions such as atherosclerosis. This is not an overstatement.

Davoud DDS intimately appreciates this oral-overall health connection. We emphasize consistent, proactive dental visits and care.

The Ramsin K. Davoud DDS office in Turlock, California, takes a “holistic” approach to malocclusion, or misalignment of the teeth and jaws. Dr. Davoud and our talented team account for all factors contributing to crowded, crooked, and otherwise unevenly-spaced teeth. We appreciate that myofunctional habits play an important role in developing and positioning teeth. Habits like tongue-thrusting and persistent or severe thumb-sucking transcend anatomical anomalies, such as “too small jaws” or “too large teeth.”  The Myobrace® system offers many benefits by resolving the underlying myofunctional problems that contribute to malocclusion. Furthermore, early treatment with Myobrace® can reduce the need for orthodontic treatment, like braces, later in life. Such conventional orthodontic treatments … Continue reading “A guide to Myobrace® treatment for children: Resolve underlying orthodontic problems now, avoid braces later”

We at Ramsin K. Davoud DDS in Turlock and northern California differ from other dental practices with our holistic and biological approach to dentistry. You will not find toxic metals, such as dental amalgam fillings, at our office. We are big proponents of zirconium oxide or Zirconia as a metal-free alternative to titanium for implant dentistry. The beauty of dental implants  Many dentists have marketed dental implants as “biocompatible” because these cylindrical posts are designed to osseointegrate or fuse to the surrounding bone when implanted in the jaw, becoming an artificial tooth root and providing a firm foundation for the new tooth. Since the jawbone continues to … Continue reading “Metal-free zirconia dental implants: The holistic dentist’s choice for tooth replacement … here’s why!”

Lasers were first introduced in 1960. Dentists began to use them soon after. Since then, laser dentistry has established itself as a comfortable and precise way to cut through and treat tissues without using “traditional” tools, such as scalpels and dental drills.
