November 3, 2017Dr. Del Kovacevic

Martin Schmidt, the manager of German soccer team Wolfsburg, recently admitted that he forces all his players to brush their teeth after practice. Why?

The Dental Plights of the Ancient 1 Percent

September 1, 2017Dr. Del Kovacevic

Hi all, I have a short post for you today. I personally find this topic fascinating. Let me start with some questions. If you had to guess between Julius Caesar and some random Roman proletariat, who had the better teeth? What about between Richard III and some poor sod living in a corner of London…

Did Bad Oral Health Kill Sea World’s Orcas?

August 16, 2017Dr. Del Kovacevic

Nootka 5 was thirty-two when she died. She had been captured off the coast of Iceland in 1981 and she would go on to birth eight children in captivity, of which only three would go on to live longer than four years. The cause of her death was unannounced, but over the years they had…

The Truth About Mountain Dew Mouth

July 31, 2017Dr. Del Kovacevic

“Sugar kills,” reads the headline, as the article then proceeds to lecture us on the harm of sugar and soda, using “Mountain Dew mouth” as the emphasis of the argument.

3 Ways to Extract a Tooth — I Recommend Only 1 of These

July 5, 2017Dr. Del Kovacevic

Sometimes a tooth needs to be extracted. It’s a common procedure and it can have multiple causes. A dentist may, for example, extract a tooth to make room for others to grow into — in the right context, it can help straighten your smile or it can make room for the eruption of a new…

Foods That Are Great for Your Dental Health and Your Appetite

May 30, 2017Dr. Del Kovacevic

You’ve heard it a thousand times: “prevention is the best form of medicine.” Well, as boring and mundane as it might sound, it’s absolutely true. I know because I see the consequences of a lack of care and foresight all the time — it can rear its ugly head as a big, fat dental bill….

The Ultimate Guide to Post-Apocalyptic Dental Care

May 11, 2017Dr. Del Kovacevic

A strong, arid wind blows stale sand across the wasteland you once knew as Greensburg. The heat is unbearable and the sweat clings to your dry, flaking skin like droplets of cool ice. Where Twin Lakes Park once sprawled now exists nothing but desert and the broken stumps of once proud trees. This is your…

Oral Cancer Awareness: You Must Catch it Early

April 13, 2017Dr. Del Kovacevic

According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, only slightly more than half of individuals newly diagnosed with oral cancer will be alive in 5 years.
