Why is Spring soooo busy?

Every year I think I am ready for the end of the school rush, but I never am. And, it seems that every year I plan more and more stuff to do EVERY SPRING!  My family and I just got back from a trip to New York City,(I am saying that out loud as I type just like the Pace Salsa commercial) and it was a blast!!!!! We have never been with our kiddos before and we were blessed enough to take my mother-in-law. We saw a bunch of stuff, but there is still more for us to go back and see. Here are some pictures:

This is Maddie and Gracie at a great little Italian restaurant we ate at before we saw "The Lion King".

Here we are after "The Lion King" with Simba's mom.

Here we are with Meme at the Hyatt Grand Central Station.

We took a carriage ride from Times Square to our hotel after we realized we were 10 blocks away! That is a long walk!

I hope everyone stays healthy and safe thru the end of school and that we all have a great summer. Azle Dental Care will be 10 years old on August 1st. I can't believe how time flies!

If you haven't seen the new office, come by.

Lots of talk about Veneers

Patients come in to the office every week and want to know about veneers. Several companies run ads in many different magazines that make us think that we can even pop false teeth over our own to give us the smile we have always wanted. The biggest selling point is : NO SHOTS!! But, if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Almost every patient can have the smile they want if they follow a few simple tips.

1. Of course, brush twice a day. It will remove plaque that helps bacteria cause cavities and inflammation in the gums and will let your natural teeth sparkle more.

2. Use floss or a floss aid to minimize stain in between the teeth and help the teeth stay in their spots.

3. If your teeth are healthy, try Crest white strips to help the front six teeth to brighten. These really do work to lift the color up 4 shades.

4. If you need your teeth filled,or if your teeth are not in the right alignment, talk to your dentist. There are so many new techniques in dentistry today that you ,with your dentist, can find out what is the perfect smile for you.
