The Advantages of In-Office Teeth Whitening
Do you look in the mirror and see darker stained teeth when you smile? Well you’re not alone.

The Consequences of Tooth Loss
When children’s deciduous teeth fall off, it does not usually cause a huge concern. Baby teeth will always give ways for the growth of the permanent ones. However, when adults lose their permanent teeth, it becomes an entirely different story.
Losing a permanent tooth can be natural, especially as you become older. Tooth loss can also be due to a number of factors such as: genetics, general health pproblems, dental and oral health issues, excessive too wear, or even trauma caused by unfortunate accidents.
Having missing teeth causes significant changes in the appearance of your smile. Instead of being nice and elegant, other might see your smile as funny or even unpleasant. Moreover, tooth loss does not only affect the aesthetic quality of your smile. It can also create certain disturbances in other aspects of your life in general. Truth is, if not given proper attention, tooth loss can be so much worse than it looks.
Other Consequences Of Tooth Loss
When a tooth has been knocked out from its rightful place, the remaining teeth shift towards the direction of the space where the tooth used to be. This shift leads to changes in the bone that provides support for your facial structures. As a result, your face would appear much older than your actual age.

The daylight hours are getting longer and the weather is warming up. Spring is finally here, summer is on the way, and for many of us that means spring cleaning time! During spring-cleaning, we clean our houses, desks, offices, and even our cars, but we neglect to think about our teeth. Which is a shame, because the start of spring is the natural time to get your smile and oral health in tiptop condition for the summer that lies ahead.
