  • Toothpaste
    Category: Oral Hygiene

    Toothpaste: It's something most people use every day, but rarely give much thought to — except, perhaps, when choosing from among the dozens of brands that line the drugstore shelf. Is there any difference between them? What's toothpaste made of… and does it really do what it promises on the box?

  • Snoring & Sleep Apnea
    Category: Cosmetic & General Dentistry

    You know it instinctively: A good night's sleep is essential for good health. It makes you feel rested and ready to take on the world. Yet many people don't get the sleep they need.

  • Tooth Contouring & Reshaping
    Category: Cosmetic & General Dentistry

    Sometimes little defects in teeth can attract more than their fair share of attention.

If you find yourself staring at these subtle yet distracting features in

  • Types of Braces
    Category: Orthodontics

    For the vast majority of orthodontic patients, wearing fixed appliances (commonly called braces) will be a major part of treatment — and those braces, for the most part, will be the familiar silvery-metal type.

  • Wisdom Teeth
    Category: Oral Surgery

    In most people, the third set of molars, generally called “wisdom teeth,” start coming in around age 17-25. However, the arrival of these teeth is often far from trouble-free.

    If you have lost any of your teeth, you no doubt realize there are consequences to living without them: Your smile may not look the way you want it to; eating, speaking and intimacy may be more difficult; and your self-confidence may fade.

  • Orthodontic Emergencies
    Category: Emergency Care

    At first, having orthodontic treatment may take a little getting used to.

  • Space Maintainers
    Category: Pediatric Dentistry

    Your child's little baby teeth have some big responsibilities. Until the adolescent years, they will not only help your youngster bite and chew (i.e., get proper nutrition) and speak correctly but also help guide the permanent teeth underneath them into proper position.

    Category: Oral Surgery

    When you were a youngster, did you ever get a black eye, chip a tooth or bruise your cheek? If so, you may have experienced a case (let's hope, a mild one!) of facial trauma.
