If you wake up with jaw pain or headaches, or notice that your teeth are worn, you might be grinding your teeth at night. This habit is called bruxism, and it can harm your teeth over time. A nightguard or other treatments can help protect your smile. If you're worried about teeth grinding, call us at (412) 967-0242 to schedule a consultation.

Recent findings show that some dental floss brands may contain harmful PFAS chemicals. If you're concerned about your floss, call our office at (412) 967-0242 to check if it meets our standards. We're always here to help guide you toward healthier choices!

You shouldn't brush your teeth directly after dinner. After eating, the acid from the food you've consumed has weakened your enamel. Brushing immediately afterwards may remove some of the enamel from the surface of your teeth. Instead, wait about an hour after dinner to brush. For more dental tips, contact us at (412) 967-0242.

You’ve probably heard this so many times, but it’s true – flossing is JUST AS IMPORTANT as brushing!

If you haven’t been flossing regularly, now is a great time to start. Your gums will thank you! Contact us at (412) 967-0242 for more dental care tips.

Adults have four kinds of permanent teeth, each tooth having a specific job. Every tooth plays a crucial role in our oral health, from incisors that help us bite into food to molars designed for grinding. Understanding how these different types of teeth work together can help us appreciate the complexity of our smiles and the importance of dental care. Have questions about our dental services? We'd be happy to help you out! Call us at (412) 967-0242.
