Root canals and fillings are often the most feared procedures in the entire realm of dentistry. For many many years, dentists doubled as metal smelters because damaged teeth and drilled teeth had to be filled with silver amalgam. While new composite restorations, or white fillings, have replaced silver in recent years, silver amalgam effectively filled the gap for most of history's dental cases. Today, doctors possess ultra modern technology for patients looking for a new, 21st century solution.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have 5 masseuses working on your body at the same time? Imagine the trash-compactor scene from Star Wars where the gang is stuck in a compression box.

Instead, a magnificent massage occurs simultaneously throughout your whole body, leaving you in a state of machinated tranquility.
Today we are going to look at a high-tech dental device called a VELScope. No, a VELScope is not part of a submarine, nor is it made of velvet.

There are many causes for overbite, crooked teeth, and crowded teeth. Patrick McKeown from The Buteyko Clinic believes that mouth-breathing is a direct cause of oral disfigurement. Reason being, the tongue puts an immense amount of pressure on the teeth when air is inhaled and exhaled from the oral cavity. This pressure is significant enough to move teeth, change your facial structure, and obstruct your airways. When mouth-breathing becomes a habit during the day, it also leads to mouth breathing at night: this is a known cause of snoring and sleep apnea.

Despite all of the anticipation and planning, we canâ??t let it be the only time we feel comfortable or confident in our appearance. In this episode, we talk about Halloween and the masks people wear both inside and out.
