You may be surprised to learn it’s often safer, more efficient, and cost-effective to choose professional teeth whitening treatments vs. over-the-counter options.

The highly-concentrated whitening gels and solutions Dr. Cross uses are considerably stronger than any you will find in the store, which translates to whiter, brighter results in less time. Gum tissue irritation, which can result from repeated or improper use of over-the-counter whitening systems, is also reduced.

Xerostomia is defined as dry mouth, resulting from reduced or absent saliva flow. Xerostomia is not a disease, but it may be a symptom of various medical conditions, a side effect of a radiation to the head and neck, or a side effect of a wide variety of medications. It may also be associated with decreased salivary gland function. Talk to Dr. Cross about your symptoms the next time you're in!

Anyone who knows Dr. Cross knows he's an avid tennis fan. So we have to acknowledge Novak Djokovic beating Nick Kyrgioson on Sunday for his fourth consecutive Wimbledon men’s championship and seventh overall.

In the process, top-seeded Djokovic ran his unbeaten run at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament to 28 matches. He also now has 21 major trophies, just one behind Rafael Nadal’s 22 for the most in men’s tennis history.

Only Roger Federer has won more titles at Wimbledon than Djokovic.
