So, what happens when an illness like hand, foot, and mouth disease or chickenpox causes sores or blisters in their mouth? Foods they normally would eat when sick may cause pain and just the thought of brushing their teeth is awful.

    Why Does Your Smile Change as You Age?

    Have you ever thought about how your smile might look different as you get older? Even if you maintain perfect dental hygiene and avoid bad habits like smoking, natural shifts and gradual changes can make a youthful smile appear vastly different as age sets in.

While it is not a problem if it happens occasionally, if it is the jaw’s normal alignment it is called an underbite. Unlike an overbite, which may safely be left alone if it i
