Your kids look up to you and depend on you in every way. When it comes to their oral health habits, this is especially important to remember. In all honesty, brushing and flossing aren’t exciting activities for children. There are hundreds (maybe even thousands) of other activities they’d rather be doing. But brushing and flossing […]

We don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that dental anxiety can destroy lives. Consider the following case. When a patient is too afraid to visit the dentist, he misses out on regular dental checkups. Dental problems go unspotted and are allowed to take hold. As this individual begins to realize he has cavities, periodontal disease, […]

Our world is a constantly changing one, and healthcare capabilities are no different. Dentistry was long ago simply a way to keep our teeth from (literally) killing us. A decaying tooth would cause pain, then be pulled to prevent the infection from spreading. As the years passed, dentistry became more sophisticated and patient-friendly. We’re now […]

Creating a beautiful smile isn’t a matter of cosmetic dentistry.
