Dr. Henley joins News4JAX to discuss whitening toothpastes, strips, and trays, including practical considerations for a brighter smile.

His advice has not changed much: whitening toothpaste mostly polishes off surface stain, and a real shade change takes a peroxide product. Our ultimate toothpaste guide covers the toothpaste side.

A dental X-ray. A life-changing finding.

A finding in the neck on a panoramic dental X-ray led to medical evaluation and treatment for a carotid artery blockage. Dr. Henley and his patient share what happened next.

The dental image raised a concern; subsequent medical evaluation established the blockage. This is one patient’s experience.

It is one reason every comprehensive dental exam here includes a look at more than the teeth, along with an oral cancer screening.
