The J-Spot

     The pearly whites are the first thing people see in a friendly smile. Besides the body, the teeth are among our most valuable assets. Depending on insurance, your teeth may even be more important to you than your health. Simply getting a tooth pulled today can cost upwards of one-hundred dollars.
