Is thinking about Halloween with all the emphasis on sugar filled sweets and its effect on your children's teeth enough to give you the chills?
Whether you are 80 or 8, your dental health is important. Millions of people fail to visit a dentist each year, even though regular dental examinations and good oral hygiene can prevent most dental disease.
If you have a broken tooth, see your dentist as soon as possible. Your dentist will be able to see if a cavity caused the break, and if the tooth's nerve is damaged. A damaged nerve usually will require root canal treatment.
Only permanent teeth are implanted if they're knocked out. Baby teeth will be replaced with a permanent tooth soon.

My friend had also had her teeth whitened recently and it looked amazing. I wanted to feel more confident with my smile.
