Do Teeth Whitening Toothpastes Really Work?

Whitening toothpastes contain mild abrasives to remove surface stains and make your teeth appear a little whiter. While not actually bleaching your teeth, whitening toothpastes have polishing agents and special chemicals that are more effective than regular toothpastes against stains. Whitening toothpastes are ideal for coffee or tea drinkers, smokers and people who want to remove mild surface stains.

At what age should my child first visit a dentist?

Our recommendations are that we start introducing children to dentist at age 1~2.  In some instances, it may be as simple as familiarizing a child with the dentist and starting things off with a “Happy” visit.  In other instances, the initial visit may consist of a routine cleaning.

What is TMJ?

The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is the ball and socket joint that connects the lower jaw to the upper jaw. Muscles that open and close the mouth stabilize the temporomandibular joint. Pain or tenderness in these muscles due to wear and tear is referred to as a TMJ disorder.

Is Nitrous Oxide Safe?

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a weak anesthetic that is very safe because it’s mild and non-addictive. After inhaling nitrous oxide, you remain fully conscious and aware. There are no side effects to speak of, but if you have any respiratory problems talk with your dentist before use.
