Endurance sports call for people in top shape. They eat right, the train right, they rock spandex still even though it’s 2014.

In this way, oral health can affect one’s psychological well-being and vice versa; psychological problems are often focused on one’s well-being, which can include oral

The concept of ‘water flossing’ has been around for a couple of years. But only recently have studies proven that patients who use a water flosser have better results with plaque removal than those who use string floss. String floss has been around for 200 years. But as often as oral healthcare providers harangue patients
We’re all about aesthetic dentistry and at the very core of this dental art—the very principle that everything is founded upon—is creating a beautiful smile.

Chocolate is a truly beautiful thing, one of the greatest yet simplest pleasures of the human existence. If you don’t agree with this then I suggest, as a doctor, that you get your head examined.
