Cavities are caused by acid-producing bacteria that collect around the teeth and gums in a sticky, clear film called plaque. Without good daily oral hygiene and regular dental visits, teeth become more vulnerable to cavities.
Brushing twice a day and cleaning between teeth with floss can help remove plaque. Regular dental examinations and cleanings are also important in keeping teeth healthy.
Greystone Smile Design offers a wide array of teeth whitening options. From simple whitening trays, to the 1 Hour Power Bleaching, to the amazing Deep Bleaching, we have just about everything and anything to fit your needs, your lifestyle, and your wallet.
Teeth whitening is the most common and easiest cosmetic dental procedure, although over half of the public has never tried it. And a recent poll revealed why – the fear of sensitivity.
In the dental office, we never mention the “n” word…the one that rhymes with beedle. If it weren’t for the “beedles,” maybe we dentist would be more popular. Nobody likes “beedles,” but if we didn’t numb your tooth, we definitely wouldn’t remain friends.
But what if we could numb your tooth without you even knowing it? Or, better yet, what if we could do some procedures without the use of “beedles” altogether.

Ahhh…Valentine’s Day. The time of love, red roses, chocolate hearts, and….kissing! There’s arguably more kissing on Valentine’s Day than any other day of the year. The Valentine’s Day gift breakdown shows 65% greeting cards, 38% candy, 32% flowers, and 11% jewelry. At the end of the day, all the gift giving is for one notable reason – for the eloquent, midnight smooch.
As dentists, we seem to always focus on the negatives. Don’t eat candy or you’ll get a cavity; don’t brush too hard or your gums will recede; don’t eat ice or you could chip a tooth. We could talk about the risky business of kissing, like the sharing of harmful bacteria or the transmission of different illnesses. But not today. We’ll only explore the positives of the “make out” and discuss ways to “kiss a little longer.”
