FYI if you need want to know what a root canal is. We are currently in the middle of a wave of patients needing root canals for one reason or another.

A pediatric dentist I saw on the news would amaze her patients by looking at their teeth and then asking how much sour patch candy they ate. Teeth enamel has dissolved from the acid.

The media never fails to amaze me! A little fact-checking goes a long way...

There are many patients who clench and grind their teeth, either due to stress or the way the teeth meet. Nightguards are very common, and are made in the lab after we take impressions of the top and bottom arches.

Got my 1st phony yelp review. Nasty, vile, nonsense language; sadly, racism alive & well here. Yelp needs to flag these. Check it out and flag it !

FYI: TMJ disorder risk factor variables identified: jaw joint pain, clicking/popping, stiffness, jaw that locks, change in fit between upper/lower teeth, uncomfortable bite.

FYI: A new study cites that professional tooth scaling/cleaning reduces one's risk of heart attack by 24 %, and stroke by 13 % !!
