7 Ways To Thank Your Dentist On National Dentist’s Day
National Dentist’s Day
National Dentist’s Day is observed each year on March 6 and was created as a day set to say “Thank You” and show appreciation to our dentist.
You might think, why do dentist’s get a day?
After all, you only see our dentist twice a year – and that’s if we really like them.??
Our dentist is not one of the first people we look forward to seeing until of course, we need a checkup & cleaning, we have a toothache, need to straighten or perhaps brighten our smile, or maybe get a cavity filled.
Then when our checkup is done, our teeth are cleaned, toothache is gone, our teeth are straight, our smile is whiter, all cavities are filled, we appreciate all of our dentist’s hard work.
All kidding aside, dentists really are our smile superheroes. They stand guard dutifully defending our smiles against invasion from the cavity creeps.
Here are a few ways to thank your dentist on National Dentist’s Day… Read the rest of this entry »

4 Reasons Why Clear Aligners Are Better Than Braces
Metal Braces Vs. Clear Aligners
Straight teeth are healthy teeth, no matter if we’re comparing traditional metal braces with Invisalign, or any other clear aligner system.
Whether you choose the more traditional method of straightening out your smile with metal braces or a more modern discreet approach – like Invisalign – there are a number of dental health benefits of doing so.
Although there are a number of providers now offering clear aligners – like ClearCorrect – and even at-home teeth straightening systems like Smile Direct Club, we’ll concentrate on Invisalign for the sake of this blog post because we feel it is the most popular clear aligner system.

Can You Still Get Gum Disease With Dental Implants?
Dental Implants Are The Healthiest Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental implants are the best – meaning healthiest – tooth replacement option.
This isn’t only because dental implants help restore the appearance of your smile, it’s primarily because they improve the natural function of your teeth and prevent bone loss.
That’s the big one, bone loss.
Bone loss occurs when there is space left by a missing tooth, this is when the loss of jawbone structure can occur. When you lose a tooth – or teeth – your jawbone will naturally recede.
But just because dental implants are widely considered the best option to replace one or more missing or decayed teeth, you still need to pay attention to your gums.
Let’s take a look at a few of the most important things you need to know about gum health before & after getting dental implants. Read the rest of this entry »

Believe it or not, DIY dentistry is becoming so popular that the American Dental Associated (ADA) is warning consumers about the dangers of do-it-yourself dentistry – or at-home dentistry.
And we’re not talking about some frontier dentistry on the latest episode of Life Below Zero, DIY dentistry is big business. Read the rest of this entry »

Dental Implants: The Permanent Solution
Are you missing one or more teeth?
Do you find yourself in a daily battle dealing with uncomfortable dentures or a removable bridge?
Denture wearers often report that the worst thing about having dentures is the need to remove them and soak them in a cleaning solution each & every night.
But that’s not the worst thing about dentures, aside from the comfort & convenience factors, or not being able to enjoy the quality of life you deserve – by eating the foods you love – the worst thing about dentures is bone loss. Read the rest of this entry »

3 Types of Fish To Eat for A Healthy Smile
Eating Fish Is Good For Your Teeth & Gums
Nothing can replace good ‘ol fashioned brushing & flossing for a healthy mouth, and nobody can take the place of your dentist for helping you fend off the cavity creeps.
But did you know that eating fish can promote optimal oral health?
In one study people with a higher dietary intake of the Omega 3 DHA were associated with a lower odds of periodontitis – gum disease.
