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 had four front teeth that were bothering me and was hoping to get them fixed with braces of some kind. They were overcrowded and crooked. My dentist said that he could do cosmetic dentistry to fix them so that I wouldn’t have to wear braces for three years. He was going to do a […]
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.

Read More...I had porcelain veneers placed and really like them. I want to take the best care of them I can. I’m have been told over the counter mouthwash can be bad for them, but I am a pretty regular mouthwash user. I’ve come up with a recipe for some homemade mouthwash and just wanted to […]
Read More...I am wondering if I am confused about something. I thought that getting porcelain veneers could remake your smile on its own, even making your teeth look straight. I had planned on getting ten porcelain veneers because I have a wide smile. One of my front teeth is a tiny bit crooked, but really not […]
Read More...I spent most of my life in poverty. As a result I never was able to go to a dentist and I certainly couldn’t get braces. Now that I’m 67 years old I finally have some money. The first thing I did was get my teeth checked. I was sure they would be a disaster, […]
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 […]
