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...If you are hating your dentist that is doing your Invisalign treatment, is it possible to switch if you are in the middle of treatment? I don’t know if it’s like a clinic where you can’t switch between practitioners. I’d almost be willing to stop the treatment than stay with this man. He’s rude and […]
Read More...I have a friend who used Luster Premium Home Whitening two days ago. She had fairly dramatic results. I was thinking of using it myself but my husband pointed out that my friend (I’m not naming her) has a habit of trying the latest fad and finding out later there was something dangerous or off […]

Read More...My daughter had six porcelain veneers placed. Over the summer, she fell and had a minor chip to one of her front teeth. Her dentist sanded it down a bit to even out the tooth, but then the adjacent tooth had to be sanded as well. A week later we noticed a slight color difference […]
Read More...I had a crown put on a front tooth because of a slight deformity. There was nothing wrong with the health of the tooth. A few weeks later, the tooth became very sensitive. My dental office said that was fairly normal after a crown so I didn’t think much about it. Because it was my […]
Read More...For my nephew’s graduation gift, I told him I would pay for him to get Invisalign. He was thrilled. His dentist is trying to talk him into switching to Lumineers because he said his smile could be whiter too. It is a lot more expensive. A LOT! I want to do what is best for […]
