Clear aligners are a good alternative for patients who want a straighter smile but do not want to wear traditional braces. Additionally, aligners are beneficial for patients with previous orthodontic treatment who want to make minor corrections to their smiles. There are several advantages to using clear aligners:
😁 Clear aligners are difficult for other people to see
😁 You don’t need to avoid sticky foods or gum because you take out clear aligners before eating
😁 It’s easy to brush and floss after meals since the aligners are removable
😁 Clear aligners are more comfortable and less likely to irritate the gums and cheeks than braces
We are OPEN for your dental care and emergency needs. Protecting the health and safety of our patients, families, and team members remains our number one priority.

What is a Periodontist?
A Periodontist is a dental professional who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, also referred to as gum disease. A Periodontist focuses on the areas of the mouth surrounding the teeth, including the gums, bones, and connective tissues.
Periodontists are top experts in their field and must complete a minimum of three years of dental school followed by a minimum of three years of specialized training in periodontics before treating patients.
A toothache is a pain in or around a tooth that may be caused by:
🦷Tooth decay
🦷Abscessed tooth
🦷Tooth fracture
🦷A damaged filling
🦷Repetitive motions, such as chewing gum or grinding teeth
🦷Infected gums
In addition to celebrating Valentine’s Day this month, February is also American Heart Month. That’s why we recommend having a heart for your smile! Research shows a strong connection between your oral and overall health. Some call this oral-systemic health. We call it The Mouth-Body Connection®--and it’s a critical link in identifying other health concerns early on.
Take the first step to a healthier smile and healthier heart! ❤
