About Anesthesia in Dentistry | Joseph Diorio and Little Rock Family Dental Care
April 17, 2019
Video Transcription:
Hi, my name is Joseph Diorio. I do anesthesia here at Little Rock Family Dental Care. The name of my anesthesia group is Diorio Anesthesia. We provide anesthesia for dental and all types of oral surgical patients.
I do a quick history and physical. Examine the patient, find out what they’re allergic to. What medications they take, whether or not they’ve had anything to eat or drink, just standard anesthesia questions. I reassure them that they’re gonna have a comfortable experience and that everything is going to go fine. (more…)

Jeff Lawrence’s Testimonial
Hi, my name is Jeff Lawrence. And I am a regular customer at Little Rock Family Dental Care. Randy has been a friend of mine for probably 30 years.

And they literally put me out, did the implants and I was able to leave the office. Went back to work that same day. And anyway, I had no trouble whatsoever. The implants grew in perfectly. They put the teeth on and it was seamless. (more…)
How Cigarette Smoking Affects The Teeth, Gums, and Tongue
October 31, 2018
Cigarette smoking among adults in the U.S. hit an all-time low of 14% in 2017, down from 42.4% in 1965. Unfortunately, this still means that tens of millions of Americans are placing themselves at risk for developing lung cancer, heart disease, and dozens of other diseases and illnesses that are caused by smoking.
Cigarette smoke not only impacts your heart and lungs, but it also adversely affects smokers’ oral health, damaging the teeth, gums, and tongue.
In addition to cigarettes, vaping using electronic cigarette devices (usually called e-cigarettes) has risen in popularity among younger generations, and although it’s generally considered “safer,” smoke is still introduced into the body and with it a number of other chemicals and inhalants.
Learn about the short and long-term effects of smoking and how it impacts your oral health. (more…)
