Dental x-rays assist dentists in seeing the entirety of your mouth- including what's below your gums, such as cavities, infections, or impacted teeth that cannot be seen to the naked eye.

X-ray technology has become very advanced and allows patients to safely take x-rays yearly. Ask your dentist about your x-rays at your next check-up!

🌎🌍🌏 Happy (early) Earth Day! 🌎🌍🌏

In celebration of Earth Day this week we thought we would share a few of our staff's favorite earth friendly products for your mouth!

1) Cocofloss - https://cocofloss.com/
2) Tom's of Maine Whole Care Mouthwash (with fluoride) https://www.tomsofmaine.com/products/oral-care/whole-care-mouthwash
3) Hello Toothpaste (it's Vegan) https://www.hello-products.com/shop/toothpaste/
4) A bamboo toothbrush (make sure it is soft bristled).

Make sure your eco-friendly tooth products have fluoride in them and avoid anything with charcoal. While charcoal is trendy right now it is VERY abrasive on your teeth and may ultimately make them more yellow. Try swapping out one of your standard products with our recommendations and let us know what you think!
