“Flossing bores me.Why do I have to do it?”
Remember the old adage
“An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure”?
That goes double for flossing.

Periodontal disease is incurable but preventable
It can only be prevented by regular flossing and hygiene visits
Decay between the teeth can be prevented by regular flossing
What will my insurance pay for?
Good question!
Dental insurance is more similar
to auto insurance than it is to your
medical coverage.
Insurance
You are covered for what your employer has
purchased the policy for and this can vary
even within the same company.
We are happy to help you
Please make an appointment to see
one of our treatment coordinators
and bring your booklet so we can
help you understand your coverage.
“My plan might not pay, so why should I come every 3 months?”
Everyone’s hygiene needs are different but
neglecting your gums if you have periodontal
disease could cost you your teeth

Prevents cavities by inhibiting the bacteria that cause tooth decay

If you grind and clench your teeth,
they suffer damage from bruxism.

these?”Amalgam fillings:
Require removal of healthy tooth structure to retain them in the tooth
Look unseemly…
Mercury Fillings• Have toxic mercury in
their composition
• Mask decay and obscure potential problems, especially on x-rays
Why do I need a crown?
When more that 50% of your tooth
is damaged, a filling can be
inadequate in the long-term
Crowns
Cover the entire biting surface
Help prevent further breakage
Crucial for teeth with root canals
Good dental care starts earlyOur hygienists have a few tips
for caring for your child’s teeth Brush as soon as the first tooth
appears
use soft, child sized brush (available from us)
Early Dental CareUse just a smear of toothpaste
Discourage “grazing” on foods and drinks during the day
Put your child to bed with WATER only NEVER milk or juice
The Dental Exam
It’s more that just a “check-up”
Your dentist will look at many things during your exam.
Your dentist reviews:
Your medical history
Conditions or medication that could impact your dental health or how we care for you
The condition of your teeth: decay, failing restorations, unusual wear
Other things we look for:
Your gums – to look for periodontaldisease which could lead to tooth loss
Your soft tissue to rule out cancer or irregular growths
“Why do I need x-rays?”Dental x-rays allow your dentist to see
a multitude of things that can’t be seen with direct vision.
A few examples are:Decay between your teeth or below your fillings
Bone loss from gum disease
Infections, cysts and tumors in your jaw bone
Developmental abnormalities
Low Exposure
Our digital x-rays are very safe

We are often asked
“Only my bottom teeth are crooked,
why do I have to have Invisalign®
on the top and bottom?”
This is why:For every movement we make to a tooth,
we have to make room in your bite.
Even if your Invisalign® treatment is
for aesthetics, we cannot compromise
your dental health to achieve this.
