It's OK to Take the "My Two Front Teeth" Child Seriously

Christmas has gone, but the holiday still has long lasting effects on our teeth. No, we don't mean the sugary treats and cookies that drive many patients to a Hamlin Dental Group dentist in Van Nuys, North Hollywood, or Northridge. We are referring to the veneration of missing teeth perpetuation by the hit holiday single "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth."

This adorable little ditty about a child who can't pronounce s-sounds and waits for the day his or her smile will fill in might make aficionados of all things twee swoon. Nonetheless, not having front teeth can actually be a serious issue for more than speech reasons. Missing teeth can affect self-confidence, change the shape of your face, and increase wear and tear on the remaining teeth. It can also cause nutritional concerns; difficult food to eat is often the most nutritious (think of apples, vegetables, nuts, lean meats, many other fruits, etc.).

Here at Hamlin Dental Group, comprised of offices that provide a dentist in North Hollywood, Van Nuys, and Northridge, we can address serious concerns (like missing front teeth), provide routine cleanings, and much more. We prioritize a gentle and preventative approach to our general and cosmetic dental pursuits and want to make our services as comfortable and—much like "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth"—child-friendly as possible.

Give Hamlin Dental Group a call for a dentist in Northridge, Van Nuys, or North Hollywood if you're missing any of your teeth at 888-400-8011.
