After 2 months of postponed non-emergent care at our practice, many of us have accepted the new routines that have emerged as North Carolina shelters in place due to COVID19. We missed each and every one of our patients, and thought about you and your families, your oral health, overall health and mental health. Learning how to home school kids, zoom meetings, and all things that have come with our new normal.
Sometimes patients ask us questions about the differences between Invisalign versus Braces. Everyone wants a confident smile, and now people, including adults, are increasingly interested in some of the alternatives to traditional metal braces.
In many cases, it is possible to achieve the smile you dream of with Invisalign. Of course, this depends on your needs and the health of your teeth and gums. Your first step to learning whether you are a good candidate for braces or Invisalign is to schedule a thorough examination and consultation.
Parents sometimes ask us – what are the best healthy snacks for kids teeth? They usually are well aware that candies and sodas are associated with cavities, but they are not always sure what to offer their kids as alternatives.
The good news is that there are plenty of delicious snack and lunch options that are healthy for your children’s teeth as well as their growing bodies.
