A Child's First Visit to the Dentist

by: Elizabeth Dunkleberger DDS

It can be shocking to many parents, if not perplexing: many dentists now recommend you schedule your child's first visit before he or she turns one.

Botox and Dermal Fillers

By: Dr. Elizabeth Dunkleberger

 

     When you think of cosmetic dentistry, you may not think of botox and dermal fillers. But the truth is, the appearance of your mouth and smile has a lot do with how attractive you look and feel. Today, cosmetic dentists have the skill and know-how to use botox and dermal fillers to enhance your lips, smooth lip lines, and eliminate wrinkles around the mouth to create a more beautiful and youthful appearance. I also use Botox for TMJ discomfort. By injecting Botox into the Masseter muscle it can significantly reduce TMJ pain. It's also FDA approved to reduce migraine headaches.
