In America, we spend well over one billion dollars every year on over-the-counter (OTC) teeth whitening products. This is a tremendous amount. The section of the grocery store for teeth whitening has a baffling variety of toothpastes, gels, and strips. Do these products really work? At Pelican Landing Dental, we are proud that our new blog is a venue for dental and oral health education. Today we would like to discuss teeth whitening. If you have further questions, feel free to click here to contact us or call us at (239)449-6104. We hope you learn something and enjoy!

In our blog this week, we are going to talk about adult braces, Invisalign, and the benefits of having straighter teeth. Most people are aware of the fact that crooked teeth can be unsightly, but most people do not realize that crooked teeth can actually be unhealthy. According to the American Dental Association, malocclusion affects 74% of adults in the United States. Malocclusion is the misalignment of teeth and it can cause many adverse effects. Here at Pelican Landing Dental, we are committed to patient educations and all things dentistry. One way that we educate our patients is through our blog. If you are interested in straightening your teeth, please read more about our Invisalign services. If you have any further questions or if you would like to speak with one of our dental providers about the alignment of your teeth, please feel free to contact us at any time electronically or call (239)449-6104.
