Dr. Hillary A. Mendillo was born and raised in Branford, Connecticut.
She attended Branford public schools, graduating from Branford High School in 1998.
At BHS, she was on the varsity track and field hockey teams, serving as a field hockey captain her senior year.
In addition, she was a member of the National Honor Society, was the Vice President of the school-wide Student Council, and volunteered for the Connecticut Special Olympics.
Dr. Hillary received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Science and Geology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2002.
A custom fitted athletic mouthguard is much more effective than the traditional boil-and-bite guards that can be bought over the counter.
Athletic guards help prevent and/or minimize traumatic injuries to the mouth.
Athletes participating in any sport that poses the danger of trauma to the mouth or head should wear a mouthguard.
Generally we wait until after orthodontic treatment is complete to fit your teenager for a custom guard.
Replacing missing teeth poses several treatment alternatives.
One such option is making a bridge, also known as a fixed denture.
This involves fitting your teeth on either end of the missing tooth space for crowns, and "bridging" the gap with a pontic (replacement tooth) attached to the crowns.
This is a great treatment alternative when implants are not a viable option.
Dental decay is the #1 most common chronic childhood illness, more common than even asthma.
Dental decay is caused by a group of bacteria called streptococcus mutans.
These bacteria cause plaque, a yellowish film that builds up on the teeth.
These bacteria feed on the sugars in our diet and produce an acid that eats away at the outer layer of the teeth, resulting in a cavity, or hole, in the tooth.
While the traditional amalgam (silver-colored) restorations are still widely used in dental practice worldwide, we now use bonded composite resin (tooth-colored) material 99% of the time.
