Everyday we see people in our office that want to do something to improve their smile.  

Some folks are ready to start taking better care of their oral health by committing to regular cleanings and getting rid of all their decay or taking care of the gum disease in their mouths.

We have patients that have noticed that their teeth are a little yellow, or discolored and want to brighten up their smile with some tooth whitening.  Still others want to replace a missing tooth with a dental implant or secure a lose denture with some mini dental implants. 

We see people that are tired of the way their teeth look and want to know what can be done to invisibly straighten their teeth or fix teeth that are chipped or broken.  

 The point I am trying to make is, unlike most dental offices, we can do just about anything for our patients to improve their smiles right here in our office without having to send you to a specialist.  From regular dental cleanings to full mouth Smile makeovers we have taken care of patient smiles for over 30 years. 

So if there is something that you would like to change about your smile, give us a call or send us an email.  We offer complimentary Smile Consultations for new and existing patients or we can talk about it at your next cleaning. 

With today’s dentistry the possibilities are endless and many times a small change can have a dramatic impact on your appearance.

We decided to have a little fun with this staff photo and include a very special furry member of our team!  She also had on the appropriate color scheme of black, white, and blue!

Thanks to Ed Winters for taking all the pictures.  Talk to Ed, if you your looking for a great photographer in Columbus.

How does your dental hygienist know when you aren’t brushing a flossing properly? Magic?  Of course not.   Columbus Dentist offers magical teeth cleaning in Columbus Ohio.  I can see the headline now! It’s the gunk man!

She knows when you’ve been flossing… she knows when you don’t brush, she knows when you’ve been bad or good…. so just brush and floss for goodness sake… OH!  You better watch out…..

A dental Hygienst has a very up close and personal relationship with your teeth when she is doing your professional teeth cleaning.   She see things you can’t see and she cleans “gunk” off your teeth that regular brushing can’t.  I mean she literally has a tool where she can gently scrape the tartar and plaque(aka gunk) off your teeth in a big strip.  Bad brushing = a big strip of yech stuff! 

In addition, when she flosses your teeth, if there is bleeding…. she knows you haven’t been flossing.  No magic there. 

Many people stop flossing because they see blood when they rinse.  Don’t stop flossing.  Keep it up for a few days and it will go away, unless you have a more serious condition like gum disease.  See a dentist if you have questions about the bleeding.

Some patients think we are just joking when we ask if they have had trouble brushing  their back teeth.  Or that we ask every patient “How often do you floss?” or “How often do you brush?”  Watch our videos on how to brush and floss.

I hate to spoil the mystic but we are just trying to start the conversation because we know you haven’t been doing an adequate job because of the gunk!  Just like Santa… we know if you’ve been bad or good!

If you are looking for a dentist in Columbus Ohio, we invite you to make an appointment today.  We’ll take care of you and your smile and keep your mouth gunk free.
