Virgine’s mouth makeover

Online | 16th September 2010

Virgine was born in a small town in northern France called Lille. She grew up with the outlook of only going to the dentist when something was wrong with your teeth and therefore never had a clean or basic checkups.

Virgine has two kids, a five year old, Kenyon, born in New York, and a seven month old, Lili-Ella, born here in Sydney.

During her pregnancies, Virgine had big troubles with her teeth — root canal work and a tooth pulled out. She was in a lot of pain. She says her teeth have always given her trouble.
