Friday, October 8th, 2010
Q.
I have always taken good care of my teeth, (brushing 2-3x daily, flossing 1-2x daily, and using mouthwash 2-3x daily). I noticed last week there are a few of my teeth that are chipping off, and a few of my back teeth, in front of my wisdom teeth are discolored.

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010
Q.
