Need a Christmas gift for the person that has it all? It might seem lame to get someone an electric toothbrush but studies show they do a superior job to a manual brush.

Did you know many common mouth washes have an acid pH? This means they will help keep teeth soft and prone to decay, doing exactly the opposite of what they are supposed to do.

We design a flexible payment schedule that works for you and the work is completed when it is paid off. If you decide not to get the work done, you get a full refund.

Have you been prescribed antibiotics for a dental infection or another reason? Probiotics can help you manage the health of your GI tract which can be out of balance because of the antibiotics.

We all survived Halloween and now our thoughts will turn to Christmas (especially with the snow outside). That means only 8 more weeks to the end of the year. Time to use those benefits that won't roll over!

Here's another fun weekend suggestion. Best of all, it's local! We will be at the office tomorrow but the first 400 kids at the Creek get a free toothbrush and flossers from our office. Don't forget your food bank donation.https://www.facebook.com/events/1973909752908173/
