Every industry has its own language and terms. These words and phrases can be confusing to anyone who is not part of the daily operations of a specific sector, and the dentistry business is no exception.

Most issues are short in nature but it is always a good idea to let your dentist know if you are experiencing post-op sensitivity. This way you can have all your questions and concerns addressed. If the bite feels off after a few days, I always tell the patient to call and come in ASAP. Usually, a slight adjustment is all that is needed and if left untreated can cause more serious problems.

Stick to your normal oral hygiene schedule. Brush two times a day for two minutes and floss daily

As professionals, it’s essential for us to keep updated on the latest dentistry trends and find fresh sources of creative inspiration while staying connected to other professionals. 

Maintaining good oral health from a young age is vital for many reasons. How the primary teeth and gums are treated can affect the development of the jaw, the formation of adult teeth, and even how children chew, talk, and smile. With a healthy set of teeth and gums, children generally feel more confident and participative in social situations. Moreover, when positive oral practices are established early on, they turn into permanent habits.

In the field of dentistry, there is an ever-increasing demand for a perfect set of pearly whites. Often a lack of care, an unhealthy diet, or an accident causes damage to a person’s teeth which requires continual procedures to bring back a smile that they cherish and are confident about.
