I’d mentioned to a friend that I’d started bleaching my teeth with Clorox at home and she went bezerko. She is absolutely adamant that it is dangerous and I need to stop. I haven’t seen any problems from it. Is she overreacting or is there a problem? Avery Dear Avery, There are a couple of […]
Read More...I have a friend who used Luster Premium Home Whitening two days ago. She had fairly dramatic results.

Read More...I am worried about a situation with a tooth. Years ago, I had an accident that caused some trauma to the tooth. Since then, that tooth has turned darker than the others and the gum is a bit recessed. This bothered me and I spoke to my dentist about it. He suggested I use Crest […]

Read More...I have one dental crown and one porcelain veneer that I had done years ago. It’s time for them to both be replaced. I talked to my dentist about it. He’s not the original dentist. That dentist I saw when I lived in a different state. He told me because my teeth are not really […]
Read More...I am worried I may have done something that could damage my teeth. My dentist doesn’t do cosmetic work. He thinks it encourages vanity.
