Dr. Barbara A. Tarnoski, D.M.D.
Dentist | General Practice
Dr. Barbara Tarnoski is a Dentist practicing in Drexel Hill, PA. Dr. Tarnoski specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases and conditions associated with the mouth and overall dental health. Dentists are trained to carry out such treatment as professional cleaning, restorative, prosthodontic, and endodontic procedures, and performing examinations, among many others.
Dr. Tarnoski practices at Philadelphia Dental Laser and Cosmetic Dentistry, LLC. This office offers LANAP and LAPIP Laser Services. These services use the Periolase MVP-7 Laser(TM). This laser, was built specifically to treat gum disease of natural teeth (LANAP) and gum disease of implants (LAPIP). The unique wavelength targets the bacteria that causes gum disease but uses a minimally invasive, BUT highly effective treatment. With LANAP and LAPIP there is no cutting/no sewing. There is less pain. This laser stimulates YOUR OWN BODY's STEM CELLS. Your body rebuilds its own supporting tooth structures to the best of its ability. THIS IS "YOUR SECOND CHANCE" to start with a mouth free of all gum disease bacteria. All gum disease bacteria is gone in one treatment!
Good mouth care is now your future. Mouth bacteria, gum disease bacteria, are not just staying in your mouth. The research shows, bacteria in your mouth gets into your bloodstream and is traveling to your brain, liver, pancreas, kidneys, joints, bladder, (etc.). Gum Disease and ALZHEIMER'S--There is a relationship. Inflamed arteries and veins, uncontrolled High Blood Pressure, High blood sugar, Pancreatic Cancer, all have a relationship. A high percentage of these patients have or had gum disease.
Our office helps patients develop a mouth care plan. No flossing, careless brushing but you visit your dentist twice a year? Patients have their teeth in their mouth--24/7: putting food in your mouth continuously, not cleaning your mouth to remove food particles? Food particles are rotting in your mouth and along with the bacteria and this is moving all over you body and we know this can't be good. The damage from cigarettes alone has injured our bodies. You don't smoke? But what about the bacteria and the toxins roaming all over your body, this can't good. The best you can do is clean your mouth, teeth and remove the bacteria. Your significant other can also have gum disease. Close contact
transmits gum disease. Parents lack of good mouth care can affect their children.
Mouth care is major part of our office. We also work with those patients who have been in head and neck pain longer than 18 months. We work with TMJ patients but also work with patients who are still in pain.

Gum DISEASE bacteria wear away this precious tissue. When gum disease bacteria gets out of control the toxins from your body fighting this bacteria wear away this bound down tissue. When bacteria, rotting food, dead bacteria and fighting cells and their toxic waste remain below your gumline your PRECIOUS ATTACHED GINGIVA wears away, Plaque that we leave on our teeth 24 to 48 hours crystallizes and the hardened calcium (TARTAR ,PLAQUE) can be removed with dental INSTRUMENTS. By not flossing our teeth at least once a day correctly we will eventually loose our teeth. Before that happens,we may have a bad taste in our mouths, bleeding gums, sensitive teeth, mouth odor. Your choice is to have your gum disease treated and get on a daily flossing and brushing routine, you can control gum disease. There is no CURE. Or you can have your teeth removed.
Before your teeth are removed, your entire body (organs and vascular system) will be constantly and slowly attacked.

If you see your dentist regularly, you may have been told that you need your wisdom teeth removed. My husband, Dr. Reiser does braces in our office. While under brace treatment, patients and their parents are told that the brace treatment patient will need their wisdom teeth removed. If your parents have dental insurance, and you are covered under your parents insurance plan, it is wise to have your wisdom teeth removed. Most wisdom teeth will start causing problems around 17 years of age. Your wisdom teeth want to come into your mouth and there is no room. If you have had brace treatment and your teeth look great, wisdom teeth placing forces on all your teeth,upper and lower, can move your teeth into positions that make your teeth hard to clean. Some one told you about PERICORINITIS. Chronic pain every couple of weeks CAN'T be healthy. See your dentist and make arrangements to have your wisdom teeth extracted and get your mouth healthy by doing good home care.
