We would not suggest that you run out and receive an oral piercing. This includes a tongue ring or any other type of piercing that comes into contact with your oral tissues. We know that you may do your best to take care of the area and even to practice caution. However, the presence of a hard material will lead to a much greater chance of a damaged tooth, irritated and ulcerated soft tissue, and more. Then, of course, there’s the risk of infection at the piercing site! Skip this to keep your oral health safe.
DIY smile care: It’s a no. Are you permitted to brush and floss? Of course! However, when we are talking about things like trying to whiten your own smile, to place your own homemade filling, or anything else, you’re putting your oral health in great danger. Whether there is something you want or something you need in terms of dental care, all it takes is picking up the phone, giving us a call, and coming in for a visit.
Hoping for a whiter smile? Tell us during your next dental checkup. Feeling like you cannot seem to get your smile clean, even with consistent care? Let us know! While charcoal toothpaste and similar dental care products seem like they’re working some sort of magic, the fact of the matter is that they’re really just removing some of your enamel. They may give you impressive results at first but over time, you’ll face serious damage. Instead, let us help, so you’re seeing beautiful results, keeping your teeth and gums protected, and all without any doubt!
Rather than trying to take more than your dental hygiene into your own hands when it comes to smile care, we remind you to come in for professional treatments! Give our team a call today for the care you need. Set up an appointment in Grand Prairie, TX by contacting your dentist at Pecan Tree Dental to schedule a visit at (972) 262-5111.
