Happy Day. It just so happened during a recent afternoon in our office that three men were getting the final delivery of beautiful, pearlescent crowns and veneers on their front teeth. This is a happy day for our patients, because they walk out with a brand new smile. That often means a big change in how they look.


Photos told the story. "I started to notice that I was looking older in photos, that my teeth looked kind of crooked and brown," said a 48-year-old financial analyst, who never dreamed he would be interested in cosmetics. "I know my smile used to look pretty good, not like this. And I didn't like it, especially since there are a lot of younger guys in my office."

That's all changed now--after a session under a Britesmile bleaching light, four porcelain crowns and four porcelain veneers.

And our doctors readily admit that men really go for a smile that will help them appear healthy and strong, a must-look nowadays for men, both in and out of the workplace.

Bye-Bye Diet Soda
By now, every one has heard of the mind-blowing fact a can of Coca Cola contains the equivalent of 10 cubes of sugar! That's why so many of us righteously drink diet sodas or other non-sugar beverages to play it safe and keep our teeth free from decay. Well, it appears we are not as safe as we thought. Now we are being told to avoid all diet sodas and other sugar-free drinks. How can that be? Our doctors explain that recent studies show that sugar is not the only bad ingredient in soft drinks. An equally Big Culprit--in all drinks--is the acid used to enhance flavor. Sometimes called "phosphoric acid," this nasty additive does a job on our white teeth--eating away our precious outer-most layer called the enamel.

What Does It Mean?
That means we drink flavored water, Diet Coke, Diet Snapple, Fresca--you name it--at our dental peril. Our teeth are at risk of losing their pearlescent, white, glowing look. A thinner enamel begins to make teeth look yellowed, thinner, duller. Yuk. Who wants that?
Pass the water....
Be well...judi
