Nothing spooky about this fact! Did you know dark chocolate, when eaten in moderation, is actually good for your teeth? Tannins not only give dark chocolate its slightly bitter taste, they also prevent cavities by inhibiting bacteria growth. The less processing the better, so snack on chocolate with no less than 70% cocoa. And obviously, brush well after eating treats!

Happy Halloween from all of us to you!!! Be safe and brush, brush, brush!

What color are your teeth? Of course, there is no right answer. Teeth come in endless shades and ranges. When we talk about tooth color in our office, we try to break it down into no fewer than 40 shades (light to dark) and ranges (color). For example, you could have a very light shade of tooth in the reddish brown range, or a dark shade of tooth in the gray range. Everyone’s teeth are unique and the possibilities are endless. You may be wondering, what makes a tooth the color it is now or will be in the future? We all know about coffee and tobacco as being major culprits of stained teeth, but what else goes into the making of a tooth color?

Show us some love! We'd love to hear about your recent experience at our office! http://bit.ly/1gR9Ocp
