How is TMJ diagnosed?
The newest acronym for what we call "TMJ" is TMJDS, or "Tempero Mandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome." This more correctly identifies the disorder as a feature of not just the jaw but the muscles and nerves adjoining it. It is said that over 85% of "TMJ" is muscular dysfunction and I have found that to be clinically correct. If the dysfunction occurs early in life then the joint can indeed be slowly damaged. Joint damage is diagnosed with 3D Tomography nowadays and Nuclear medicine. Muscle diagnosis can be confirmed and treated by needling or injectables such as lidocaine or Botox. READ MORE
Does a root canal require anesthesia?
All root canal procedures are performed to remove the various biological components of the inside of a tooth: venule, arteriole, nerve, connective tissue, etc - all the things you learned in high school biology. As such, a local anesthetic - ie. "novacaine" - is practically mandatory. We have powerful local anesthetics that can successfully relieve or prevent any pain you may possibly experience during the root canal procedure. If a dentist doesn't offer anesthesia for a root canal procedure, decline the treatment. READ MORE
What should I do if my dentures feel loose?
Dentures can feel loose for several primary reasons. Keep in mind that if the dentures originally fit well, then the fit against the gums has probably not changed and your body is at fault: A. Have you gained or lost body weight of more than 10%? Weight loss or gain will change the soft tissue fit of your denture. B. Are you taking any new medications? Certain medications will cause your mouth to dry out. A dry mouth tends to prevent your dentures from getting the proper suction it needs from salivary fluids. C. Your bite. Even a good-fitting denture will eventually wear down much like the soles of your favorite sneaker. If and when the bite of your denture teeth starts to wear, it changes how your jaws mash together and in changing your bite it often causes the teeth to become looser. D. Your Jawbones. The day you lost your teeth your jaw bones started to change. The jaws exist SOLELY to hold the teeth. When they are gone, your jaws just naturally shrink. And their shrinkage means that your teeth will loosen. You should see your dentist for options for improving your existing denture or replacing them. Remember, Insurance companies.... the barometer for the lifespan of your dentures... will pay to replace them every FIVE (5) years. So, get them checked out. READ MORE

Get to know Cosmetic & Restorative Dentist Dr. Franklin A. Dentremont, who serves patients in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Specializing in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, Dr. Dentremont is known for his excellence and attention to detail. He is currently serving patients’ dental needs at his private practice, Dentremont Dental Services in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Since its establishment in 2015, Dentremont Dental Services has been on a mission to remain true to the common core value of dentistry: the patient’s total dental health. Some of the services provided by the dental practice include crowns, bridges, dentures, braces, veneers, and more.
In 2017 Dr. Dentremont enrolled in a fellowship program with the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) and is certified to administer botulinum products (“Botox”), dermal fillers, and non-surgical thread lifts. His fellowship program takes him all over America to learn the latest techniques in facial esthetics.
In addition to his work in private practice, Dr. Dentremont is an entrepreneur and team builder with Jeunesse International. Founded in Orlando FL in 2009, Jeunesse International manufactures and distributes weight management, nutritional, energy and performance, and skin care products all designed to enhance our bodies to maintain a youthful condition inside and out.
Growing up in the state of Maine, Dr. Dentremont graduated high school as a salutatorian in East Millinocket and attended Boston University on a scholarship. He then went on to earn his DMD degree from the prestigious Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. He relates that he was in a dental class of about 150 students drawn from over 4000 applicants. After 20+ years practicing dentistry in Maine, he opted to move to the warmer climate of Alabama’s Gulf Coast where he has spent the past 16 years helping residents of these communities to improve and maintain their smile and dental health.
Dr. Dentremont has previously served both as a member and an executive of the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. Besides his certification in the AAFE, he holds certifications in Invisalign and Six Month Smiles orthodontics, rotary endodontics, and Implants – to name a few.
Dentistry is a science that places a great emphasis on the doctor’s ability to utilize his/her hands. Dr. Dentremont attributes his success to God for giving him the gift of healing hands and to his parents for teaching him positivity and compassion. His father -Frank Sr- was raised in a family of 11 children, served in Patton’s army in WW2 (including the Battle of the Bulge), graduated as an engineer on the GI Bill, and worked for over 30 years as an engineer in a paper mill in Northern Maine. His mother, Ramona, was the valedictorian of her high school class in Northern Maine and a college graduate of the University of Maine. She taught Spanish for some time before becoming a full-time mother.
Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance (though not necessarily the functionality) of teeth, gums, and/or bite. Restorative dentistry refers to the management and procedures that a dentist performs to keep a patient’s mouth healthy and functional. These procedures include putting in dental implants, dentures, fillings, and crowns. Throughout his career in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, Dr. Dentremont has also cared for underserved children throughout the state of Alabama, including Mobile, Montgomery, and Dothan.
In his spare time, he enjoys cycling, swimming, and scuba diving. He enjoys living and working in Coastal Alabama – especially Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. The area has enjoyed a huge influx of people from all over the USA in recent years and Dr. Dentremont is happy to accommodate them.
Dr. Dentremont’s slogan is “All You Need is Love… and a Good dentist”. The citizens of Coastal Alabama can certainly feel assured that their dental smile is in good hands.
