My family's dental health is important to me. Unfortunately for me, it is not as important to my little ones. Getting my kids to brush and floss on a daily basis is almost like taking on an obstacle course. I talked to my family's dentist about different methods I could try to encourage them to brush and floss on a regular basis. Some of the tricks worked, some did not. After some experimentation and talking to other parents, I was able to come up with a lot of great tips for helping kids care for their teeth. I started this blog to help other parents get creative when it comes to their kids and dental care.

It's Okay If You Don't Like Your Smile

Not everybody loves their smile, and that's okay. Cosmetic dentistry is available to help you get the smile you've always wanted. In fact, you can learn more about your smile potential with a dentist who understands your goals.
These are some of the ways you can address your smile if you are not necessarily thrilled with your pearly whites.
You Can Get Veneers
One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures is the installation of veneers. Veneers are thin shells that are placed over your existing teeth. Veneers are made from porcelain or other materials, and they can be used to change the color, shape, size, and even the length of your teeth.
You Can Get Implants
If you have missing teeth, you may be a candidate for dental implants. Dental implants are artificial teeth that are surgically implanted into your jawbone. Once the implants have healed, you will then have new artificial teeth placed on top of the implants.
You Can Whiten Your Teeth
If you are unhappy with the color of your teeth, you can get them professionally whitened. Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure that can be done in the dentist's office or at home.
You Can Get Bonding
If you have chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth, you may be a candidate for dental bonding. Dental bonding is a procedure in which an adhesive material is used to bond your teeth together. The bonding material can be made from porcelain, composite, or other materials.
You Can Get Invisalign
If you are unhappy with the alignment of your teeth, you may be a candidate for Invisalign. Invisalign is a clear aligner that is used to straighten your teeth. Invisalign is virtually invisible, and it can be worn for several years. Your teeth will slowly be moved into place.
You Can Get a Crown
If you have a tooth that is damaged or decayed, you may be a candidate for a dental crown. A dental crown is an artificial tooth that is placed over your existing tooth. The crown can be made from porcelain, composite, or other materials, but it will always look natural.
