Consumer Guide to Dentistry: New Website Provides Much-Needed Education on Dental Procedures and Oral Health.

LA JOLLA, Calif. -- As dental technology advances, many new options are available to people who want a great-looking, healthy smile. But which procedures do you need? How do you choose the right dentist to perform them? And which website provides the most helpful, up-to-date, and unbiased information on dentistry?

Consumer Guide to Dentistry (http://www.yourdentistryguide.com), launched today by Ceatus Media Group, contains comprehensive articles about the many facets of cosmetic dentistry, general dentistry and oral health. The site's core content is reviewed by a team of highly-respected practicing dental professionals and experts in their field and is accredited by Health on the Net Foundation, assuring visitors of high-quality, trustworthy information.

"As more and more people receive their primary health information from the Internet, it's very important that the information they receive is accurate and understandable. Consumer Guide to Dentistry aims to do that in a very responsible way and I'm delighted to be a part of it," noted Lawrence Addleson, DDS, Executive Editorial Advisor for the Guide. Dr. Addleson is also a fellow and past president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and practices in San Diego.

The demand for whiter and brighter smiles has driven significant growth of cosmetic dental procedures over the last decade. Consumer Guide to Dentistry provides information on appearance-enhancing procedures, such as dental implants, dental veneers, orthodontics and tooth whitening. For instance, in "Tooth Whitening: Bright White Smiles of Today" (http://www.yourdentistryguide.com/teeth-whitening/), consumers learn about the various options, advantages, risks and costs for whitening teeth.

Consumer Guide to Dentistry also provides information on general dental topics such as toothaches, fillings and sealants; oral health topics such as bad breath, oral cancer and TMJ; and high-interest topics such as sedation dentistry (http://www.yourdentistryguide.com/sedation/) and the use of lasers in dentistry. Special emphasis is also given to pediatric dentistry and dental care for seniors. Some of the site's most popular topics are expected to be:

* Cosmetic Dentistry: http://www.yourdentistryguide.com/cosmetic/

* Tooth Restoration: http://www.yourdentistryguide.com/tooth-restoration/

* Dental Implants: http://www.yourdentistryguide.com/implants/

* Dental Veneers: http://www.yourdentistryguide.com/veneers/

* Laser Dentistry: http://www.yourdentistryguide.com/laser/

The site will also provide a gallery of before-and-after photos, currently in development.

Consumer Guide to Dentistry is published by Ceatus Media Group LLC, an online provider of health information and physician directories.
