Sat, 19 May 2012 1:08:24 AM PDT en-us Why should I have my child's baby teeth fixed when they are just going to fall out anyway? http://www.northeastdentist.com/faq/teeth-baby-space-child/78 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:08:24 AM PDT Your child's baby teeth hold a space for their permanent teeth which will grow in later. If the baby teeth are lost or damaged early this could result in the loss of space which could cause tooth crowding and/or displacement of the permanent ones.

Please feel free to call during our office hours, monday through thursday, to set up and appointment. Our average waiting time for a new appointment is usually less than one week Does the whitening solution I buy at the store give the same results as the solution I would buy from my dentist? http://www.northeastdentist.com/faq/solutions-used-office-dentist/71 Sat, 19 May 2012 1:08:24 AM PDT Heavens, no!& ;The whitening solutions purchased over the counter at the drug stores are diluted, weaker solutions used in the dental office. The difference is that there is no professional monitoring or maintenance with a product sold over the counter, thus the concentrations cannot by law be as strong for fear of harm to a consumer. The solutions used by the dentist are of stronger percentages and concentrations, and are routinely monitored by the dentist and office. While these in-office solutions are not harmful to the teeth or gum tissue, if monitored and used properly, they render a far more profound and longer lasting result.
