Beware Of The Quick Fix In Dentistry
Dr. Abbie McKnight and Dr. Lynne Schutte
It seems like we are seeing more and more advertisements claiming a "housewife's remedy" or "an old family secret" can make your teet overwhelmingly white in a matter of minutes - and you won't have to darken the door of a dental office. No one believes more strongly in the importance of a beautiful smile to your overall self confidence and appearance, but we wouldn't want anyone to get the impression that when your teeth are shiny white, your attention to dental health should end.
What worries us about this is the impression these ads may give that white teeth mean good health. We help clients achieve beautiful smiles every day through tooth whitening technology and porcelain restoration. But our core mission is to help you achieve dental health. That's a theme you'll read again and again in this newsletter, and this month we spotlight the effects of dental disease on other parts of the body.
As always, our main goal in this newsletter is helping you achieve optimal dental health as part of your overall well being, and we hope you'll share it with family and friends who might benefit from this advice.
