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.

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 […]

Something both great and difficult about oral health is that nearly everything you do affects it. If your habits and diet are healthy, your oral health will be excellent.

Dentists everywhere constantly strive to make each patient’s treatment the most comfortable yet, while providing the same effective results. There are certain tools that have enabled us to do so in increasingly rewarding ways.

Modern cosmetic dental treatments take patient comfort into account in a way that older technologies just weren’t capable of doing. One particular realm in which huge advances have been made is that of orthodontics for adults. In the past, adults seeking straighter teeth had no option other than metal braces.
