What Your Dentist Loves to Hear

What your Dentist loves to hear

We love when you tell us that your teeth are feeling great. 
When we ask how your teeth are doing and you tell us that your teeth are great, we feel like our job here is done. Contrary to popular belief, we are not obsessed with money. We love it when our patients have a clean bill of dental health. We feel like we did our job and are happy to spend the extra time that's usually saved for treatment to talk to you about your life and learn more about our wonderful patients.

We love when your teeth are flawlessly clean. Again this gives a feeling like we were able to educate and take care of your mouth to the best of ability. We see the drastic difference in health when you first come into our office to now.

We love when you trust in us. I love when a patient tells me "doctor do whatever is best for me." I understand dental treatment is costly but in most cases in the long run doing what is necessary can save you the most amount of money in the future. When you tell us to do whatever is best for you, we don't immediately think about the most expensive option. We usually think about how we would treat our own family. If anything when you give us that type of response we respect you so much more and are more willing to find you the best solution.

We love when you swallow your own spit- When you are at the dentist we use mostly chemicals that are safe to ingest. If we use something that is not we will have suction ready to remove the harmful chemical and give you a rinse immediately or a rubber dam to prevent those chemicals from going into your mouth. If we are just doing a cleaning we are using filtered water that has to be a certain grade to pass health codes. Please swallow what is remaining like the way you swallow your own spit on a daily basis. You will not drown from your own spit, I promise you.

We love when you review us- we are a small business and any form of review and advertising is appreciated. We may hate it when you give us a bad review but if its genuine we will do our best to change the problem.

We most love when you tell your friends about us. The best referrals to our office comes from word of mouth. We love when you tell your friends about us.  Please tell them to tell us that they came from you and we would love to offer you something in appreciation!

Stayed tuned for What your Dentist HATES to hear!

I lost a tooth and I can still eat why do I need to replace them?

Image
Did you know 69 percent of adults from age 35 to 44 has all already lost at least one permanent tooth. by age 50 they have lost 12! What this tell us is that it is not a matter of how but a matter of when. But many of my question ask me this: "I have lost my tooth for several years and It doesn't bother me at all except for the space. Why do I need to replace it?" The truth is you don't have to because ultimately the purpose of teeth are esthetics and function. If it doesn't affect either then it is not a necessity to replace that tooth. That is what every patient wants to hear; however, the truth is that there are unknown costs associated with not replacing that tooth. The cost varies depending on the position of the tooth. Majority of patients are most likely to lose their molar the first big tooth in their mouth because that tooth has been in your mouth since you were six. The second most likely lost tooth is generally the front tooth and that is purely...

broken front tooth

Image
O no! My child broke his front tooth playing sports what do I do? This happens very frequently and is just unavoidable for most children that like to play sports. A simple uncontrolled fall or accidental elbow is all it takes to knock out a tooth. I will give you a couple situations and guidelines to follow if it happens to you. 1st situation- 12 year old Johnny was hit in the face with an elbow and the tooth starts bleeding and is loose and looks slightly out of place. Key point - tooth is still attached to its socket. What to do? Don't panic mom/dad just come right into the dentist and let us evaluate. If tooth is still attached to the socket there is a few very different possibilities for the tooth and we will help you evaluate the situation. Likely if the tooth was displaced there is a high chance the tooth will die and may need a root canal. What will we do? The same day as the emergency we will likely numb your child and try to reposition the tooth to where it sh...

Mouthwash- a miracle rinse or scam?

Image
My patients always like to ask me can mouth wash replace flossing? What mouthwash is the most effective for my oral health? There are hundreds of different brands of mouthwashes but all of them really just have a few active ingredients- According to the American Dental association these are what they allow in an American mouthwash. Active ingredients that may be used in therapeutic mouthwash include: Cetylpyridinium chloride; - crest prohealth Chlorhexidine;- peridex Essential oils; Listerine Fluoride; ACT  Peroxide. colgate peroxyl mouthwash- Whitening So here is my take on how mouthwashes work. Using mouthwash to to clean your mouth is like using a pouring putting out a candle with bucket full of water. You'll put out the candle but you'll also get everything else in the room wet. When you use antiseptics like chlorhexidine, cetylpridinum chloride and peroxide it kills almost all of the bacteria in your mouth.  That sounds like a great thing doesn't...
