Ever feel like your bite isn’t quite aligning the way it used to? 😬 Our bodies are constantly adapting, and your teeth are no exception!

In Part 1 of our latest series, we break down some of the most common (+ surprising!) causes behind the changes in your bite.

Think AI will ever replace dentists?

Not likely, but it is changing how dentistry is practiced by automating certain routine tasks. AI is especially strong at reading images, processing data, and handling repetitive work, but it cannot replace human care or judgment.

In our latest blog post, we break down the reality of veneers:
🔹 It’s a permanent change: Teeth usually need to be prepared and filed down slightly so the veneers don't look bulky

What happens when there is a crack in the tooth?
Bacteria may travel along the crack!

Bacteria need to release chemicals to breakdown the dentine structure before itself, before it can digest it. So, the deepest layer of decay does not have bacteria in it.

Read our blog about a situation we helped fix not long ago!

This is a” just in the nick of time”, situation. Decay feeds on the dentine of the tooth. The dentine consists of microtubules (micro tubes) the connect to the pulp (including the nerve). These tubes get larger as the approach the nerve meaning more space for the bacteria to invade the tooth.......
