Dr. Ray Partovy, supporting American Heart Month

Since February is Heart Month, Dr. Partovy wanted to let you know about the importance of oral health and its connection to your heart's health! Cardiovascular disease remains American's number one killer, according to the American Heart Association. Studies have shown a correlation between gum disease and heart disease, underscoring the importance of good oral health care.

Visiting the office of Dr. Ray Partovy on a regular basis can help prevent gum disease or at least catch it in its early stages. And because people with dental insurance are more likely to visit their dentist when they should, a healthy mouth begins with a visit to our office. In observance of Heart Month, Dr. Partovy says it’s also important to know your numbers: blood pressure (less than 120/80), cholesterol (less than 200) and BMI (less than 25). If you have any questions about heart health, or about your treatment with Dr. Partovy, please give us a call today.

Dr. Partovy wants to know: What do you love about our community?

The office of Ray Partovy, located in Marina Del Rey and Tarzana and serving surrounding communities, is situated around some pretty special neighborhoods here in L.A. County. Each is unique with its own personality, created by the people and places (and our valued patients) living within.

Today, Dr. Partovy and our team thought we'd ask: What are your favorite things about our community and southern California? Is there a local event you attend every year? Do you have a favorite eatery? Perhaps a favorite California getaway? Do you love the relatively nice weather we get year-round?

Please feel free to share some information about your favorite local hang-outs in Marine Del Rey and Tarzana, and everything you love best about “your neck of the woods.” And, who knows, Dr. Partovy and team just might post your response on our social networks!

Zoom!® your way to a brighter smile at Ray Partovy, DDS

We've blogged about the advantage of Zoom Whitening with Dr. Partovy, and today thought we'd talk a little more about Zoom, the great way to enhance the appearance of your smile. Zoom is a professional teeth whitening treatment that gets your teeth an average of eight shades whiter — in just one hour! With Dr. Partovy, the treatment is safe, simple and relaxing! Plus, Zoom is championed by dentists and patients as a pain-free process.

To prepare for Zoom! whitening, Dr. Partovy will examine your teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy. Your lips and gums will be covered with an isolation material to protect them during the treatment. Then, we apply the Zoom! whitening gel, which is activated by the Zoom! light source. The gel and light work together to gently break up the stains on your teeth. After three 15-minute applications within one hour, you rinse and the treatment is complete — leaving you with a brighter, whiter smile.

Give us a call to schedule an appointment for Zoom whitening! Enjoy your weekend!

What have you accomplished this year? Are you keeping up with your New Year’s Resolution? Any big mid-winter break plans? Anything exciting going on in your life?

If you have any photos or videos that you would like to share with us, please send them our way or call our office and ask how! Have a great weekend!
