Few things can feel more challenging than when your child partakes in a sleepover. You won’t be there, of course, to monitor your child’s dental hygiene routine or sleep time. You know that brushing and flossing is of the utmost importance and you are quite consistent at your own home – but what to do when your child in under the supervision of other parents? Fortunately, we have a few tips for you that will help you deal with this part of keeping your child’s smile safe and healthy.
How Does Teeth-Whitening Work?
It’s the most popular cosmetic dental treatment today, but even if you’ve had the procedure, you might still wonder how, exactly, does teeth-whitening work? For that matter, shouldn’t cleaning your teeth every day stop them from staining?
Unfortunately, teeth can stain even when you meticulously brush and floss them twice a day, and the reasons vary. Fortunately, most teeth stains develop on the outer surfaces of your teeth, and can be effectively erased with a simple teeth-whitening procedure. (more…)
Will Dental Implants Cause Embarrassment?
Are you feeling emotionally distraught over your recent tooth loss? For many patients, the way a missing tooth or teeth affect one’s self-esteem can become quite significant. The good news is that most dental prosthetics provide a beautiful finish, thanks to advances in materials and technology. When it comes to considering dental implants to replace teeth, it’s important to note that implants will certainly not cause any embarrassment. They will look and function beautifully.

Got Spring On The Mind?
Are you a little bit obsessed with the fact that Spring has finally sprung?

As far as your dental care is concerned, we have a couple suggestions for making sure you can enjoy the warmer temperatures, while simultaneously enjoying a healthy, beautiful smile.

3 Answers To Your “When Should I?” Questions
Do you find yourself wanting to ask us questions but you think to yourself that they’re the type of inquiries that might elicit laughter or a roll of the eyes? Are your questions extremely basic and – and a result – you keep them to yourself? Whether you’re asking the simplest oral health question in the world or are interested in a complex topic, we will be happy to offer an answer each and every time. Let’s begin with some frequently asked, “When should I…?” questions to get started.
Quiz: Your Flossing Approach
How do you feel about your dental hygiene? In many cases, we discuss hygiene with patients only to realize they have a very firm grip on brushing – but their certainty about flossing is not so steady. Unfortunately, if you’re doing a great job with twice daily brushing but you’re slacking a bit with the dental floss, you’re simply not going to enjoy the level of oral health you would like to achieve. Find out if your approach to flossing is benefitting your grin – or if you need to make a couple improvements – with a brief quiz.
Bad Breath Quiz: What Should I Do?
Are you recently noticing that you’re suffering from bad breath but finding a solution has not been as easy as you had hoped? Perhaps you have long dealt with this problem – also known as halitosis – and have all but given up hope that you will ever have a freshly scented mouth again. Before you make any assumptions about dental hygiene or what’s going on in your mouth (and why) we encourage you to learn more by looking over a quiz. You may be a bit surprised by what you find.
Is It Stress? Or Sleep Apnea?
We are just approaching April, which means many things. In the world of dental care, one thing it brings to mind is the fact that April is Stress Awareness Month. Surprised that we would be thinking about stress, since it doesn’t seem to have much to do with your oral health? As a matter of fact, both stress and anxiety can have a significant effect on all aspects of your wellbeing, from your ability to feel happy, relaxed, to eat, to sleep, to protect your teeth, and more. For instance, perhaps you have been wondering if your stress is causing your daily fatigue or if you need sleep apnea treatment. Allow us to help you explore this question.
