What you need to know before you get that Grill!

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

The hip hop culture today has turned many things that were once thought of as ghetto, into mainstream and fashionable. The grill is one of the latest that has made the transition, and seems to be gaining in popularity. Many hip hop artists such as Paul Wall, Nelly, and Lil Jon sport grills, aka grillz. Paul Wall has even taken it a step further and sells grills from his website.

But once you buy your grill, how do you keep it clean? According to this video, with who else but Paul Wall himself, you can just brush your grill with a toothbrush and toothpaste like you would clean your regular teeth. Seems easy enough.

Before getting that blinged out grill of your dreams however, it is recommended to first visit a dentist and have a mold done of your teeth. This will ensure a snug fit, cause after all, you don’t want your new grill to fall out, before you even get to mean mug for the cameras!

Tooth Whitening, does it really work?

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Seeing all of the famous actresses with teeth whiter than humanly possible, makes you stop and wonder, what did they have to go through to get their teeth to look like that? It must have been an excruciating, torture filled, nail pulling experience…right? I mean a trip to the dentist, is a trip to the dentist, isn’t it? Well maybe for a very small percentage with extra sensitive teeth, but for most patient’s the answer is no.

If considering a tooth whitening procedure, be sure to let the cosmetic dentist know your concerns, and ask how many shades whiter you can expect your teeth to be, once the procedure is complete. This will give you realistic expectations, so even if you aren’t as attractive as Jessica Simpson or Halle Berry , you might be able to match them in one category: blindingly white teeth!
