Invisalign - The Invisable Braces
Submitted by whistlerdental on Tue, 10/11/2011 - 16:16Have you ever wanted straighter teeth, but the thought of getting braces is something that you keep putting off? Consider Invisalign!
Straight teeth isn't just for cosmetic purposes. Having straighter teeth and a balanced bite will help you keep your teeth clean and healthy. As we age, our teeth tend to 'collapse' or grow inward creating crowding.
Flossing Tips
Submitted by whistlerdental on Thu, 09/08/2011 - 13:31Many of us go through the motions of flossing but are getting very little benefit from it. If you are quickly popping the floss in and out between your teeth, that is just not good enough. You need to angle your floss down under your gums and massage the floss up and down. It is all about disrupting the colonies of bacteria that are living and growing under your gums. Flossing helps maintain healthy gums, fresh breath and a healthy heart!

Submitted by whistlerdental on Wed, 07/13/2011 - 14:44Tired of your dental hygienist lecturing you about flossing at every visit? There are some very good reasons for that lecture. Flossing is not just about getting out remnants of your last meal from between your teeth. It is about disrupting the colonies of bacteria that are living, growing, and feeding underneath your gums. These bacteria create volatile sulfur compounds (the stinky stuff on your floss), and are poisoning your gums and your body.
