Dr. Farley voted Top Cosmetic Dentist in Annapolis
In June 2008, Dr. Farley was voted Top Cosmetic Dentist in Annapolis by a vote of Maryland dental professionals, and will be included in the inaugural list of topDentists. Because topDentists is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which hundreds of dentists and specialists throughout Maryland cast thousands of "votes" on the abilities of other dentists and specialists, and because listings cannot be purchased (and no payment is required to be listed), inclusion in topDentists is considered a singular honor.
Dr. Farley will be featured in What's Up? Annapolis' October 2008 Top Dentist issue.

Research Links Oral and Systemic Health
According to the American Dental Association, new research links oral health to your overall health. Researchers have found that periodontitis (the advanced form of gum disease that can cause tooth loss) is associated with other health problems such as cardiovascular disease, stroke and bacterial pneumonia. Likewise, pregnant women who have periodontitis may be at increased risk for delivering pre-term and/or low birth weight babies.

Update from the American Heart Association
According to the American Dental Association, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended that patients with certain heart conditions take antibiotics shortly before dental treatment for decades. This was done with the belief that antibiotics would prevent infective endocarditis (IE), previously referred to as bacterial endocarditis. The AHA’s latest guidelines were published in its scientific journal, Circulation, in April 2007 and there is good news: the AHA recommends that most of these patients no longer need short-term antibiotics as a preventive measure before their dental treatment.
