  • Why Today's Fillings Are Both Invisible and Stronger

    In the modern era, any visit to a dentist is not too much about trying to salvage what's left of a tooth due to a problem, but how to effectively repair and replace, like-for-like. Decades ago, the dentist would have fewer choices when it came to saving these teeth and if they were able to leave them in place, they would often have to replace the decay with a far from ideal material known as an amalgam.

  • What To Know Before They Go: Caring For Your Child's Mouth During Baby Tooth Loss

About Me
Dentures and Dentist

Hello, my name is Jack. I am now 79 years old. As you can imagine, my teeth have taken something of a battering over the years. I lost a couple of teeth in a bar fight, four more decayed and one had to be extracted when it became infected. After losing so many teeth, my dentist suggested that I have dentures fitted. I was worried about this but my dentist was really great. He helped explain the procedure and then did an excellent job. I love my new dentures and I wanted to start this blog to offer help to others.
