Visit any pharmacy or the health and beauty section of a supermarket today,
and you are faced with a large, and many say confusing, array of
over-the-counter remedies and devices designed to help you tend to your hygiene
and health-care needs.
There are many high-quality products on the market today. There also are many
products of dubious value.
Whatever over-the-counter dental product you buy, it is strongly advised that
you ensure it has the American Dental Association's Seal of Acceptance.
Over-the-counter dental instruments are fraught with danger. These include
scaling devices and picks. Use of the products, even when following the
instructions, can put your teeth and the soft tissue of your mouth at risk of
tearing, bruising and other injury. You also may accidentally chip a tooth.
It is best to consult our office instead of trying to do a repair job yourself. |
