Hello friends. Welcome to my Blog "Teeth With The Dentist".
This is an accumulation of simple advice of a general nature based on nearly 5 decades of practice.
So read the posts as I develop them and hopefully they may help you look after your teeth.
Nothing here is a substitute for seeking professional advice where it's needed and you'll see I emphasize that where appropriate.
There's over 20 posts already.
From now on, as I post a new one, you'll see it here first.
And this is pure information. I'm no longer in active practice.
Enjoy my blogs and stories.
