Using charcoal or anything other than ADA approved products to whiten teeth can permanently damage tooth structure. Don't fall for the ads on Instagram!

Happy Father's Day! Thank you to all of the wonderful dads out there!

Did you know? The bristle toothbrush, similar to the type used today, was not invented until 1498 in China. The bristles were actually the stiff, coarse hairs taken from the back of a hog's neck and attached to handles made of bone or bamboo.

Your gums should be a healthy shade of pink – not red. They should also make a “C”-shape around the neck of the tooth (where your tooth begins to get skinnier). Schedule an appointment today if they are red or have a different shape!

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the brave service men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
