About Me

When you visit your dentist, it can be frustrating to hear about dental problems that you didn't know that you had. Unfortunately, knowing how to prevent problems can be hard too. The complicated lingo used by some dentists can be difficult to understand, which is why I created this website. I wanted to create a place where everyone can learn more about basic dental care, without using a medical dictionary. I hope that you can learn a few tricks and tips for how to care for your teeth, so that you can avoid painful problems and unplanned expenses. By picking up a few inexpensive supplies and teaching yourself about dental care, your teeth can shine.

The flap can then be repositioned to create the best environment to hold the implant and help it heal.
