Why is my son's tongue white?
Hello, This is more than likely caused by Candida (oral thrust/yeast). Sometimes it may come and go on its own, but you can also check with your primary care physician or a dentist as they may often wish to prescribe a medication to assist in helping it go away quicker. Best regards, Dr. Judy Christianson READ MORE
Is it OK for kids to use an electric toothbrush?
Hello, Electric toothbrushes for kids are a great idea! Most importantly, they have timers to ensure they brush for the full 2 minutes. Thanks! READ MORE
Can anyone get dental implants?
Hello, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately implants cannot be done until full growth is complete. For boys this is early 20’s before an implant can be done. In the meantime a removable appliance can be made or during orthodontics a fake tooth can be added to the braces to make it look like an existing tooth is still there. Another option is typically a Maryland bridge which attaches to adjacent teeth by bonding to the backside of the teeth on either side. I hope this answers your question!
