St Patrick's Day and Teeth

St Patrick's Day is commonly associated with a few drinks and general merriment. However, excess can result in trauma to your teeth in several ways. For example, a company in the USA did a survey last year straight after St Patricks Day and found that the attendance to dental practices increased by up to 64%! In fact, all but one US state saw an increase which was directly attributed to trauma after excessive celebrations. Injuries included fractured front teeth, damage from 'face planting', teeth sensitivi… READ MORE

One application of the Epic 10 is low level laser therapy LLLT. The aim of this is to aid healing, pain relie… READ MORE
