Dental problems can be scary and there are several that seem to crop up this time of year. Following are a few Halloween dental maladies and their treatments:
Jack O’ Lantern Smile
Gapped teeth can leave you feeling hollow inside. There are several alternatives to close spaces including conventional braces and “invisible” clear aligners. We recommend ClearCorrect aligners to address minor rotations, spacing and misalignment. Let your light shine through with straight teeth.
Curse of the Mummy Breath
If your breath is like the funk of 40,000 years it may be time for a dental cleaning. The pyramid of good 
dental health is proper diet, good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. We recommend you see the dentist twice yearly to keep your smile fresh enough to kiss your mummy. Don’t get too wrapped up in other things and forget your checkups.
Vampire Fangs
Pointy teeth may be cool if you’re Edward Cullen but they don’t look good until Twilight. Cosmetic reshaping, crowns, or veneers may be in order to improve your smile and stop the 
neighbors from wearing turtlenecks around you. Just wait until you see your new look in the mirror—or maybe not!
At Dr. Michael Gillespie’s dental office we see ghosts and ghouls of all ages. Call us at 456-9007 to set up a visit to evaluate your dental needs.
