devices, and, best of all, it is advertisement free.

best way to combat dental phobia is not with cheesy gimmicks,
but with knowledge.
Dental Phobia has “an abundance of information …that lets
anyone worried about an upcoming appointment fully understand
their options and deal with visits at ease.”

dental phobias and coping strategies, a detailed description of the

My Smile monitors the shade of your teeth over time and allows you
to share and compare your results with others.
Here’s how it works. After you download the app, you take a
picture of your beautiful smile with your iPhone’s camera.
Then you’ll use the app’s color matching palette to see how white
or how yellow your teeth are.
Save the result to your My Smile records and over time you can see
how the condition of your teeth change.
