Free at last.....from braces. Patient was happy that finally shes done with her (braces) treatment. The night before that big day, she was planning to eat her favorite food (POPCORN) right after she gets out of the dental office. Also, we told her dad to bring her for a good steak restaurant.
If you think you need braces, tell your mom & dad to call Jeff D. Velasquez, your long Beach Dentist for consultation. ~Braces at JeffVelasquezDDS.com~ by vbav

Hail to the Chief—and his teeth! You may remember their smiles and expressions from portraits and photographs, but do you know the stories behind them? Read on for some fascinating facts about our commanders in chief.  George Washington Never Wore Wooden Dentures
Tooth decay and tooth loss plagued George Washington throughout his adult life. The Journal of the American Revolution states the father of our country had his first tooth pulled at 24 and had only one left at inauguration. Mount Vernon, Washington’s estate, says his troublesome teeth made the president self-conscious and reluctant to speak in public. While it’s true Washington wore dentures, they were never wooden. He had many pairs made with many different materials, including: hippopotamus ivory, bone, gold wire, copper screws, lead and even human teeth. His wife, Martha, also had a partial denture. “Well aware of her husband’s travails, Martha regularly urged her children and grandchildren to tend to the care of their teeth,” Mount Vernon states. |
