You are the paragon of dental virtue. Twice a day you find yourself in front of a mirror brushing and flossing. Friends might give you a hard time about it, but they also compliment you on your sparkling, white teeth. What they probably wouldn’t guess is that you haven’t been to the dentist in years. The excuses are as varied as they are numerous: I don’t have time, I need that money for something else, I take care of my teeth fine by myself. However, your gums have started to look a little red lately and are a bit sensitive to touch. How can your pristine dental habits explain this? Dr. Buck and Dr. Burton want you to know why regular visits to the dentist in Dublin is always a good idea. (more…)
