Gold is not the best material for teeth. As a dentist, I can’t believe I’m saying this because I’ve heard the contrary my entire career. A mother was teaching a daughter how to bake a roast. They cut the end of the roast off, put it in the pan, and into the oven. The inquisitive…

There are a lot of things in dentistry that some like to do, and some do not like to do. Staining upper second molars is definitely one of those situations! I, personally, like to stain molars. I find that it is rewarding and if you do not go overboard, the patients appreciate the…
