DIY Dentistry Tips-Gresham Dentist, Main Street Dental Gresham

DIY dentistry is on the rise among our younger crowd and NBC put out a story and video detailing some of the perils. Especially do it yourself teeth whitening, braces, and temporary fillings for pain relief.

Your teeth are connected to your jaws, your jaws are connected to your jawbones, and there’s a complex network of muscles that move your mouth around. And you really need to know how your mouth works before moving things and altering things. You can do a lot of damage.

Please even be careful with the manufacturers online or in the malls that will send you clear braces without a dentist doing an exam. This dentistry has had some horror stories and continues to make headlines in a negative manner. Just be careful and let us know if you have any questions!
