Once the warm weather of spring arrives, many people get motivated and start their annual spring-cleaning ritual. This activity usually is focused on cleaning out closets; however, this year, why don't you try something new and use this same approach to your oral healthcare. Toss your old toothbrush in favor of a new one and schedule an appointment with your dentist for a thorough exam and cleaning that includes an oral cancer screening. You can also use this appointment as an opportunity to discuss any cosmetic concerns or questions you have regarding your smile. One common trend cosmetic dentists report in the spring is the peaked interest in tooth whitening. A professional bleaching has numerous advantages over all at-home, Over-The-Counter (OTC) methods.
