Back-to-school time means more than buying new clothes and supplies for the Buffalo, New York and Depew-area families served by Forestream Dental’s General Dentistry and Pediatric Dentistry practice.
A fresh school year also means that students and school faculty members will sit for fresh pictures.
Dental phobias prevent many people from receiving the treatment they need and desire in order to maintain bright, healthy smiles.
Some people may fear pain while others may experience apprehension over the sensations of dental instruments. But thanks to advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology, most dental procedures are as comfortable as they are effective when performed by a knowledgeable and experienced dentist, such as New York cosmetic dentist Dr. Larry Evola.
Dr. Oz’s recent suggestion to apply a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice to your to teeth in an effort to whiten them is pretty darn scary. Lemon juice is a strong acid, with a pH of approximately 2. Almost the same as Coke and Pepsi. Would you brush your teeth with Coca-cola?
Baking soda is an abrasive material. Think sandpaper. So, the acid softens the tooth enamel and then according to Dr. Oz you’re suppose to take sandpaper and rub the enamel away. Repeated use of this this technique will do one thing, guaranteed 100%, as that it will remove the enamel from your teeth!
