When the temperature gets below zero, all you really want to do is curl up by the fire. But cold weather is no reason to skimp on oral care. Flossing might seem like a chore, especially in a North Dakota winter, but the value it brings to your teeth and gums is worth a little shivering. Flossing, when paired with daily brushing, is proven to help reduce the risk of gum disease. Besides that, it can help improve your breath and whiten your teeth, resulting in a bright smile. Anyways, when you’re chatting with colleagues about the last hockey game, you don’t want to be the one with food stuck in their teeth, do you?

With nearly 90% of all land in North Dakota taken up by farms, it’s to be expected that NoDaks know a thing or two about maintaining a healthy crop. However, when it comes to maintaining a healthy smile, the average person’s expertise gets more shaky. Unlike a crop, if the one this year doesn’t do so well, you can always try again next year! With teeth, it’s a different story. As an adult, the teeth you have now are all you’ve got. So, take care of them with a daily oral care routine—brush, floss, and eat a healthy diet, too! Like a healthy crop, healthy teeth and gums require lots of care. When you put in the work, you’ll reap the rewards!

What is cosmetic dentistry?

c
crown-fan-353

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on enhancing the aesthetics and appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. While traditional dentistry mainly concentrates on health and functionality, cosmetic dentistry places a strong focus on improving the visual appeal of the smile. It encompasses a range of elective procedures and treatments aimed at achieving an attractive and confident smile. Typical treatments included in cosmetic dentistry are: Cosmetic Dental Fillings: Tooth-colored (white) fillings made from composite materials to fix cavities while maintaining a natural appearance. Teeth Whitening: The process of lightening stained or discolored teeth to achieve brighter and whiter smiles. Dental Bonding: The application of a tooth-colored resin to repair or improve the aesthetics of teeth affected by chips, cracks, or gaps. Dental Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells of porcelain placed over the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance, addressing issues like gaps, discolorations, or unevenness. Dental Crowns: Custom-made caps, typically made out of porcelain or ceramic, that cover damaged or discolored teeth, restoring their anatomy, size, and strength while improving their aesthetic appeal. Dental Implants: Surgically implanted titanium artificial tooth roots to support a single or multiple replacement teeth, providing a natural-looking and fully functional solution for missing teeth. Invisalign: A removable and discreet orthodontic treatment using a series of clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets and wires. Orthodontic Treatments: Procedures like braces or ceramic braces or clear aligners to straighten misaligned or crooked teeth, improving their appearance and functionality. Smile Makeovers: Comprehensive treatment processes combining different cosmetic procedures to achieve a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing new smile. Gum Contouring: Reshaping or re-contouring of the gum line to improve the appearance of the teeth, particularly when there is excessive gum exposure, short clinical crowns, or uneven gum levels. Cosmetic dentistry enables individuals to obtain their desired smile aesthetics, boosting their confidence and often improving their overall self-esteem.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
