About Me

HI, my name is Susan Mattingly and this blog will tell you everything you need to know about oral health problems. You're probably familiar with tooth decay, as this is a very common dental issue. Both children and adults often get cavities in their teeth, which requires a filling. Another tooth issue, that is often very painful, is an infection inside the middle of the tooth and this requires a root canal for treatment. I think oral health is very important and I do everything I can to make sure that my teeth and gums are healthy. I found out about these and other tooth problems by doing extensive research and I've also talked to my dentist about my concerns. If you want to learn about tooth problems and how you can reduce your chance of getting them, please read my blog.
