Dr. Barry Dubin is excited to announce that he recently returned from Texas where he received training from the inventor of the revolutionary Fastbraces® Orthodontic System that allows teeth to be straightened safely in as little as 3 months. Dr. Dubin is the only dentist in the Philadelphia area to be trained in this technique.

We all want a great, healthy smile. Who doesn't? We know we need to brush our teeth, use mouthwash to kill bacteria, and most of us floss regularly. That should be enough to keep our mouths healthy, right? Wrong. Have you ever been brushing your teeth, or flossing and seen blood in your sink? Like most people, you probably wrote it off as a simple irritation or thought you were brushing or flossing too roughly. While these explanations could be true, they are often rarely the cause of bleeding gums. According to Dr. Barry Dubin and his team of dental professionals at Dentistry For Life, bleeding gums can be a sign of a gum infection, the onset of gum disease, or other serious medical conditions.

If youve done any searching for a business or service using Google lately, you know that the best place for a business to appear is on the first page. Most people usually click on one of the first results that they see. So how does that listing get on the first page without advertising (those are the sponsored listing at the very top of the page)? Well, theres a whole business out there that does nothing but help others appear on the first page of a Google search. Its called SEO or Search Engine Optimization, but even then, a business can jump way ahead of others in a few simple ways by getting a lot of reviews on Google Places, getting lots of people to like their Facebook page and having lots of links to other sites. These have to be legitimate reviews from customers of the business. We know you love Dr. Barry Dubin and Dentistry For Life. We have over 75 five star reviews from patients just in the last 3 months. Problem is, those reviews only come

Dr. Barry Dubin's Dentistry For Life held 3 parties in July. The first was for other businesses in their building - Medical Arts at 1601 Walnut in Philadelphia. You can see lots of pictures of the great time had by all and the fabulous food served up by Dr. Dubin's wife Dianne and their staff on our Facebook page. Everything was delicious and oh...those chocolate covered strawberries! The next party was a Southern Buffet Dinner for all of our wonderful patients who have referred other wonderful patients like themselves to our practice. We wanted to do something special for them because their referrals are the greatest compliment we can receive. Dr. Dubin appreciates this more than anything.

Dr. Barry Dubin's Dentistry For Life recently began giving patients the opportunity to complete a short survey about their visit and our practice once they get home. The survey, which takes just a minute to complete, is returned to us via email through a third party source so it is totally anonymous. Patients can be completely honest without worrying that Dr. Dubin will ever know who said what. For any service business, that's something of a risk to take. After all, we can't always know every interaction every patient has with all of our staff. And lets face it, some people just love to complain no matter what you do. We are thrilled to report that Dr. Dubin, Dentistry For Life, our hygienists, and staff have gotten glowing reviews. In fact, 71% have rated us 5 stars and their visit "EXCELLENT"! Another 19% gave us "VERY GOOD" and only 8% rated us as "AVERAGE". Not a single person rated their visit as anything less than average...NO COM

Dentistry For Life is looking to add a new team member. We know our patients deserve the very best so our goal is to give them that everyday. We must be doing a good job because we're getting more and more new patients flocking to our door. In fact, so many that we need to dedicate a front desk staff member, Michelle Hernandez, just to taking care of their needs and the many phone calls we receive. That means we need to add another enthusiastic people person to our fabulous staff to take care of our equally fabulous patients as they make their way through the practice. This new position will be dedicated to seeing that nothing slips through the cracks and that every patient has a WOW experience from start to finish. S/he will be in charge of all patient information, both electronic and paper charts, making sure that everything is always up-to-date and filed. S/he will welcome and seat each patient as they come in, making sure all is

Here at Dentistry For Life, we see the terrible effects of the "just pull it out" mentality. Our philosophy has always been to save teeth whenever possible because dentures are just plain awful. But its worse than even we thought. It turns out your uncomfortable and ill-fitting old dentures are deadly as well. Why? Most denture adhesives contain zinc which leaches into the body causing zinc poisoning. Zinc poisoning depletes your copper levels resulting in the development of neuropathy and other neurological injuries. The symptoms can include the following: Numbness, Tingling or "pins and needles" sensation Muscled Weakness Unexplained pain Loss of Balance Difficulty Walking Loss of Sensation and Paralysis WOW! In fact, a number of lawsuits against denture adhesive manufacturers like Procter and Gamble (Fixodent) and GlaxoSmithKline (Poligrip) are being actively pursued.
