What makes for a beautiful smile? Dr. Trushar Patel will tell you regular dental visits, brushing and flossing, not smoking, minimizing your intake of soda and coffee, among other factors, will maximize your chances of achieving great oral health. Our friends at TotalBeauty in 2009 released their list of the “14 Worst-Teeth Cities,” and our team at 19th Street Dental is sad to report Atlanta was chosen among the fourteen. Here’s an excerpt from the article: “Atlanta has a few factors working against it. One, as the home of the Coke Corporation, it's no surprise that they rank no. 4 in cola consumption. That plus its rank of no. 9 in most teeth lost and no. 47 in dentists per capita means less than perfect smiles. Its one saving grace? Almost 95 percent of residents receive fluoridated water, which can help strengthen teeth."
Have you been perfecting your smile by visiting 19th Street Dental on a regular basis? If not, it’s time to schedule an appointment!
