Fall Sports And Dental Injuries
September in Fort Worth, Texas means one thing: football season is in full swing. Whether it’s high school, college, or even pee-wee, there are games every week.

Smile Symptoms You Should Not Ignore
Each day seems like there is a new issue in our lives that we have to assess whether or not is important. If your car’s gas tank is running low on gas, you pull into the next gas station to fill it up. If you have a pimple, you may just let it run its course.

If your car is making a noise that you cannot identify, you should probably take it into a mechanic before the problem becomes expensive, right? The same logic applies to your oral health. There are certain issues and symptoms that should be brought to your dentist’s attention as soon as possible.

The 2 Types Of Tooth Discoloration
Looking in the mirror and seeing dull, yellow teeth can be disheartening. It can shake your confidence and make you feel insecure about showing off your smile. Many people believe that tooth stains only occur on the outside of the teeth, but the fact is, there are two different types of tooth discoloration. Stains can occur on the outside of the teeth caused by external reasons. Discoloration can also be caused by issues inside of the tooth. These different types of discoloration are not treated in the same manner, which means getting a bright white smile depends on your smile’s specific needs. If you live in or near Fort Worth, Texas, your dental team at 7 Day Dental can help you determine what type of discoloration is affecting your smile to address it accordingly. (more…)
