February 28th is National Tooth Fairy Day. Perhaps it has been decades since you carefully placed a tooth under your pillow and awoke the next day to see it had been replaced by money or another reward.

However, there is a good chance your memories of the Tooth Fairy still trigger pleasant childhood memories. Why not mark the Tooth Fairy’s special day by scheduling an appointment for a dentist to check the health of your teeth and gums?

 

Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

Even if you have maintained a very good oral health regimen since the days when the Tooth Fairy visited, you may still have missing teeth. Accidents are just one thing that may cause you to need a tooth replacement procedure. Drs. Greg S. Fertik and Glenn Shefter provide dental implants in Brevard, NC that look and feel like natural teeth.

Unlike dentures that can move as you talk and eat, dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone. They last for decades and can help you overcome the embarrassment and discomfort that is often associated with tooth loss.

 

Receive Information About Good Oral Care Techniques

When the Tooth Fairy visited your house to take away your baby tooth and replace it with a treat, you may have also received a note with some feedback that reminded you to keep brushing and flossing thoroughly. If you meet with a professional to learn more about dental implants in Brevard, NC, expect to get lots of similarly good advice to keep your teeth and gums looking beautiful and functioning properly for the rest of your life.

The Tooth Fairy may not visit you anymore, but it is never too late to take good care of your smile. Trust Drs. Fertik & Shefter to give thorough evaluations so you can find out more about treatments that could offer noticeable improvements, including tooth replacement techniques. Just call 828-513-2469 to reach our Brevard office.
