Protect Your Smile from Decay with Remineralization Treatment in Edison, NJ
August 10, 2014
We all know that the keys to keeping our teeth clean and healthy are good home hygiene and regular visits to the dentist’s office. We’re also relatively familiar with the types of foods and drinks that pose a risk to our tooth enamel (think carbonated beverages and sugary snacks). However, did you know that your teeth are under a constant assault from acid-producing bacteria no matter what you eat? At Resnick & Rosenfeld, DDS in Edison, NJ, Dr. Steven J. Resnick and Dr. David S. Rosenfeld provide patients with the comprehensive preventive dental care they need to protect their teeth from extensive decay and damage. One of the ways we do this is with remineralization treatments.
Why Choose Remineralization Treatment?
Because our doctors practice conservative, minimally invasive dentistry, we believe that preventing dental cavities whenever possible is vastly preferable to drilling and filling when decay has taken hold. When dental cavities are detected and treated in their earliest stages, it is actually possible to avoid the need for the drill altogether. This is where remineralization comes in.
In the case of a cavity that has not yet caused extensive damage, the enamel of the tooth may be treated using topical applications of fluoride and calcium phosphate solutions. These compounds work to attract minerals to the surface of your enamel, hardening it and protecting it against acid wear. Our doctors will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the remineralization process, as well as provide you with information on additional preventive measures that may apply to your unique case.

Non-Surgical Periodontal Disease Therapy with Resnick & Rosenfeld, DDS
July 20, 2014
It is estimated that approximately 3 out of 4 adults in America suffer from some level of periodontal disease, more commonly referred to as gum disease. While early cases may not cause noticeable symptoms, this condition can be incredibly dangerous and even lead to tooth loss if not treated in a timely manner. At Resnick & Rosenfeld, DDS in Edison, NJ, our doctors help patients suffering from gum disease overcome their condition with minimally invasive, non-surgical periodontal therapy.
Why Choose Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy?
There are a variety of ways to treat gum disease in its various forms, each with the same end goal: eradicating the bacteria that cause the infection and helping gum tissue heal as quickly as possible. At Resnick & Rosenfeld, DDS, we utilize the proven power of microscopic monitoring during the diagnosis phase, giving us the ability to specifically target the bacterial problem within the affected gum tissue. This results in more conservative treatment and faster healing, as well as improved patient comfort.
When left untreated, periodontal disease may result in other health complications you might not associate with the status of your gums. These include heart disease, an increased risk of stroke, dementia, high blood pressure, and complications during pregnancy. With non-surgical periodontal disease therapy, we can help restore the health of your gums, thereby diminishing your risk of these and other problems significantly. You’ll enjoy a healthier, more attractive smile that feels as good as it looks.

Replace Missing Teeth for a Great Smile with Dental Implants in Edison, NJ
February 20, 2014
Having one or more missing teeth isn’t only physically uncomfortable and potentially embarrassing in social settings; allowing lost teeth to remain as such can lead to a number of detrimental conditions like periodontitis and the abnormal drifting of surrounding teeth. At Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld in Edison, NJ, we care about your happiness as much as we do with your overall oral health. We want to show you how dental implants can change your life by replacing missing teeth permanently.
Why Should I Choose Dental Implants?
The main reason that dental implants are generally a superior choice over other options is that they’re incredibly durable, versatile, long-lasting and don’t require any specialized care. Unlike many other restorative dental procedures – including crowns, dentures and bridges – dental implants are more like natural teeth in that they are actually attached to your jaw bone. A titanium post is inserted into the bone tissue, bone that will eventually come to fuse around the implant as it would a tooth’s root. The carefully crafted crown that is then placed on top of the post looks and feels like a natural tooth; it is even matched to to suit the color of the existing teeth surrounding it. No one will ever be able to tell that it’s not your own tooth!
Reclaim Your Beautiful Smile
If you’ve ever felt that having missing teeth is just something you have to learn to live with, we encourage you to contact our Edison, NJ to explore your options for tooth replacement with dental implants. Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld proudly serve patients from the areas of Scotch Plains, Colonia, Plainfield, Clark, Westfield and beyond.
Get Rid of Bad Breath Fast with Tips from the Team at Resnick & Rosenfeld
February 3, 2014
Though it happens to us all at one point or another, bad breath is always embarrassing when it hits. Whether it’s a problem you only deal with after eating certain foods or you’ve noticed that it’s a common occurrence, you want to know how to address it as soon as possible. At Resnick & Rosenfeld in Edison, NJ, our expert team of dentists and hygienists wants to give you the tools you need to banish bad breath once and for all.
Find the Cause, Find the Treatment
For some people, chronic bad breath can signify an underlying health concern that must be assessed by a medical professional. Certain patients with liver problems, for example, may experience an unpleasant odor and taste in their mouth when their liver is unable to sufficiently eliminate toxins in the body. If, however, you know that your bad breath is not caused by a medical issue, there are certain things you can do to keep it at bay. Try the following:
- Use a tongue scraper. Bacteria tends to accumulate on the tongue, especially in the back near your throat, even when you brush and floss regularly. A tongue scraper can effectively remove the bacterial plaque that hides between your taste buds to quell bad breath.
- Swish with antibacterial mouthwash every time you brush. This not only helps to kill bacteria that are currently present in your mouth, but may help to defend your teeth and soft tissues from future buildup.
- Chew sugar-free gums and breath mints. While these only mask the problem of bad breath temporarily, they can help keep you out of embarrassing social situations until you’ve had a chance to address the root problem.
- Avoid problem foods. Foods like onion, garlic and dairy products are notorious for causing an undesirable odor in the moist environment of the mouth.
If chronic bad breath has caused you social embarrassment one too many times and you’re ready to make a positive change in your life, contact us at our Edison, NJ to see how Drs. Resnick and Rosenfeld can help you. We also proudly serve the areas of Scotch Plains, Colonia, Plainfield, Clark, Westfield and beyond.
Straighten Your Smile with Invisalign Clear Braces!

Many people have reservations regarding their smile for many reasons, especially if your teeth are misaligned or your bite is off. Though you may think there is not a solution aside from traditional braces, you are wrong. Our amazing team at Resnick & Rosenfeld is proud to offer Invisalign Clear Braces to our patients!
Invisalign is better than traditional braces because they are virtually invisible on your teeth! There are no wires or brackets involved, leaving your more comfortable and confident in your smile. Using innovative technology, Invisalign gently straightens your teeth and aligns your bite between 6-24 months. Invisalign involves a series of aligners, each one representing a different stage in your straightening process, so you never wear the same aligner twice. Invisalign aligners are made to fit your mouth and your mouth only, and gently straighten your teeth, eliminating a lot of the pain associated with braces. You simply wear one retainer for two weeks, and then move to the next stage!
There are a lot of plusses associated with Invisalign, one of them being better oral health. At any point where you need to eat, drink, brush, or floss, you simply remove the retainer, and then reapply it when you are done. You also will be able to avoid the mouth full of metal you may have been worried about. With Invisalign, you look as natural as ever, doing your job while the braces do theirs. If you have any questions about Invisalign and how it can improve your smile, make an appointment at our office, and we’ll be glad to help!

Fear of The Dentist? We Can Help!
December 30, 2013
Whether it is heights, spiders, or the dark, many people live with many different fears. One of the most common fears is the fear of the dentist. For some, the fear is very mild, only making them feel anxious. For others, however, the fear can be crippling, preventing them from having much needed dental work done. At Resnick & Rosenfeld, our experienced team offers nitrous oxide to fear your dental fears!
Many people have dental woes because of past experiences visiting their dentist. We take your concerns into account, striving to give you the best experience possible. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is administered through a face mask. We are able to control the amount of nitrous you get, making sure you are as safe as possible. The gas makes you feel relaxed and alleviates you of pain during your dental procedure. Nitrous oxide is a conscious anesthesia, so you are able to respond to the doctor while he is performing the work.
There are many benefits to nitrous oxide, one of them being you are able to carry on after the procedure. The effects of the nitrous dissipate after the mask is removed, so you do not need to find a ride after your work is done. Another is that your body will be able to heal quicker. When the body is anxious and in defense mode, it makes it more difficult to perform normal bodily functions, one of which is healing itself. When you are relaxed, your body is able to heal itself quicker and more efficiently. If you have any questions about how our team can help you with your dental woes, make an appointment!

Nitrous Oxide Can Help Edison Patients Relax At Last and Receive the Dental Care They Need to Smile Brighter

Dental fear is a very common and very real problem among Americans – in fact, a vast majority of the population has reported in various studies that they experience some level of anxiety or stress when faced with an impending visit to their local dentist. Here at Resnick and Rosenfeld, DDS, our team understands and empathizes with how crippling this fear can be; however, it’s important for patients in Edison and beyond to maintain regular check-ups with our office so that they can receive the crucial oral health care they need to keep their smile happy and healthy. After all, if left untreated for too longer, dental problems can get out of hand and end up requiring even more time and money to fix than before. So what can you do to overcome your dental anxiety? Thankfully, Dr. Resnick and Dr. Rosenfeld offer a solution: nitrous oxide. With this effective sedation dentistry method, we can help take the edge off of your negative feelings, allowing you to feel comfortable and content as we do all the heavy lifting.
How does nitrous oxide work?
It’s simple – once you’ve settled into your comfy seat, we’ll administer nitrous oxide through a mask that fits over your nose, and very quickly, you’ll begin to experience feelings of comfort, warmth, and even maybe euphoria.
