About Me
After a few years of constant dental problems, I decided to start focusing on taking better care of my teeth. Before I made any changes, I made an appointment to discuss my habits with my dentist. He talked with me about my daily dental routine, and made a few suggestions for ways that I could improve. The results were amazing.

I want you to experience the same types of successes in the dental chair, which is why you should read my dentistry blog.
