Tongue Brushing, Really?
You know brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing are staples of good oral hygiene, but is brushing your tongue really necessary? In short, yes. Why is my tongue important?

Dental Plaque: What You Need To Know
Plaque, like many oral health concerns, begins as a silent menace. You may recognize this colorless, sticky film as the fuzzy coating you feel when you first wake up.

Your child’s dentist just informed you that your child needs a crown. You are probably wondering if kids even need crowns on their baby teeth?
