When our teeth become exposed to this acid for a period of time it begins to dissolve and destroy the outer layer or enamel of the tooth surface.

Many times the complaint is not from the offender but from a long suffering spouse or family member. There are many causes of bad breath (which we call “halitosis”) – some serious and some not.

The dental restoration that is many times overlooked is the dental onlay.

Fourth, to post a weblog with relevant articles and content for our patients and the dental industry. News, 2009-12-27T04:52:42+00:00
