Changing lives one smile at a time 💫✨
The patient came to the office, stating that he’s never been able to smile or laugh with confidence. He’s lived with severe Dental Fluorosis - a condition whereby excessive fluoride ingested via drinking water during childhood causes changes in the appearance of tooth enamel.
Seeing him overcome with emotion after Dr. Taddessee showed him his new smile for the first time reminded him of why he does what he does. He left, looking like a whole new person. Dr. Taddessee made him promise to show off his new smile every chance he gets! 😁
Today we solemnly remember those who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

We often take our teeth for granted despite our smile being so important to our self-image and one of the first things people see. But the consequences of inadequate oral care don’t just mean you might get a cavity or have a need for teeth-whitening. It could mean problems below the surface, namely increased risks for heart disease, stroke or health complications caused by severe infections.
