Who loves a good “before” and “after”? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Two appointments— one to remove old dental work/decay, improve preparations, take records and photos…and the second to remove temporaries and deliver (8) final crowns.

I adore this patient and how she loves and cares for her family… I’m happy for her to have confidence in her smile, and improved dental health!

Thanks to .a.cargile (amazing teammate) and also for delivering predictable, beautiful, timely service.

Is iced coffee bad for your teeth? Whether you like yours hot or iced, all coffee is acidic and can lead to tooth sensitivity and increase the risk of cavities if consumed in excess. It can also stain your teeth over time. Many commercially available iced coffees contain added sugars or sweetened syrups, which can promote tooth decay and gum disease if consumed frequently. But don’t worry - we won’t ask you to take away your iced coffee for good!

To minimize potential negative effects on your teeth while enjoying iced coffee:
- Limit consumption of sugary or sweetened varieties.
- Drink through a straw positioned toward the back of your mouth to reduce contact with teeth.
- Rinse your mouth with water after drinking coffee to help neutralize acidity and reduce staining.
- Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing daily.
- Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.

You may have heard the claim that charcoal toothpaste can be used to naturally whiten your teeth.

However, there's no proof that charcoal dental products are safe or effective, according to the American Dental Association. In fact, using overly abrasive materials like charcoal can have the opposite effect and actually make your teeth appear more yellow by wearing away enamel and exposing the layer yellow dentin underneath. Remember: always opt for a whitening toothpaste with the ADA Seal of Acceptance for safety, effectiveness, and tooth protection.

Don’t hesitate to ask our team any questions you have about choosing the right toothpaste at your next appointment!
