At Longmont Complete Dentistry, many of our patients are dog lovers, so when we ran across this story this past July, we knew we had to share it on our blog. Apparently, hairless dogs are not only unique because of their one-of-a-kind “naked” look, but also because of how their teeth are formed. Nature is so weird and interesting all at the same time, right? Scientists at the Max Planck Institute and the Fredrich Schiller Universität Jena wanted to understand more about this particular dental phenomenon, so they studied over 100 skulls of pedigreed hairless dogs. What they found not only helps the world at large better understand dogs, but also how the teeth develop in mammals (like us!) as well.

When you lose a tooth, you also lose a bit of confidence as well. Chewing becomes more difficult and causes patients to eat softer, processed, unhealthy foods. The gaps in your smile suck in your facial structure, causing your cheeks to sag and age you unnecessarily.

Longmont Complete Dentistry can help you if you’ve lost one or multiple teeth by providing you customized dentures in Longmont, dental implants, or both!
