Davis Dental Diary
As a dentist, I find it important to keep my patients up-to-date on topics that I get the most questions about. In my blog, I discuss topics related to How To Evaluate a Dentist, Correct Brushing and Flossing, Veneers, Implants, Teeth Whitening, Fluoride, Reducing Cavities, Oral Health, Teeth Grinding, Dry Mouth, Crowns, Sensitive Teeth, Bridges, Plaque, and much more. Take a look around to see if I can answer your questions.
Why I Became a Dentist
If you want to go even deeper into the heart of my dental practice, read my little article “Why I Became a Dentist” on my Davis Dental Diary blog. Listen to “High Tech Dentistry: Interview with Dr. James Lynn Davis, DMD” audio podcast on BlogTalkRadio (about 26 minutes in length). I explain how I got into dentistry, what’s new in dental services, and how high tech devices give patients more comfort and better results.
