In 1917, the Mistletoe Girl Scout Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, baked the first box of Girl Scout cookies. They sold them in their high school cafeteria as a community service project and they were a big hit, leading to the tradition of yearly Girl Scout cookie sales that we all enjoy today. But, while the Sooner State may be the Home of the Girl Scout cookie, eating too many can leave lasting damage to your teeth. Excess sugars can lead to plaque buildup, cavities, gum disease, and worse health issues if not taken care of. That’s not to say you shouldn’t enjoy a sweet treat now and then. Healthy teeth require a balance of delicious foods and daily oral care. So next time you purchase a box of Thin Mints, make sure you stock up on good toothpaste and floss too!

As an Oklahoman, traditions mean everything. From eating classic barbecue at the annual county fairs to rooting for the Oklahoma City Thunders, some things are hardwired into the brain. Just as important as those pastimes, though, is the health of your teeth and gums. Often overlooked in the quest for the perfect chicken-fried steak, your oral health is key to a lifetime of pearly white smiles and good overall health. Make it a daily tradition to brush and floss. Throw some antibacterial mouthwash in there too for the ultimate minty-fresh mouth. The best traditions last a lifetime—let’s make brushing and flossing one of them!

What is Invisalign treatment?

f
flipper-explorer-879

Invisalign is a proven method to straighten teeth and improve the smile. The Invisalign system uses a series of somewhat invisible or clear aligners that are relatively undetectable by others. Each aligner is custom-fabricated for your teeth and only your teeth, which means that no two patients have the same ones. As you replace each aligner, changes occur in your mouth to slowly correct how your teeth look — week by week — until they have straightened to the ideal position prescribed by your Invisalign-certified general dentist or orthodontist. Invisalign treatment is a series of nearly Invisible, removable aligners that you change every week or two weeks for the next set of aligners. There are many types of braces and orthodontic appliances that can treat crooked teeth and gums. But Invisalign is a popular and innovative solution that combines the best features of all other orthodontic appliances into one. Invisalign works by moving teeth gradually through a series of clear aligners designed to shift them just a little bit with each aligner. Over time, your teeth will move into their desired position and remain there with proper use of orthodontic retainers — all without anyone ever knowing! The average treatment time for Invisalign is about a year — about nine months less than traditional braces. This means you can reduce your treatment time by at about three-quarters of the time it takes for traditional orthodontic therapy. To summarize, Invisalign is an amazing option for anyone looking to straighten their teeth under the radar. It is quick, simple, and relatively affordable as general dentist can easily offer Invisalign. The best part is that it can be used in combination with other orthodontic treatment options such as traditional braces or other orthodontic appliances such as clear aligners with braces attachments on them. Invisalign also gives your orthodontist or dentist more flexibility for adjustments during the treatment process, and because of its removable nature it provides added convenience compared to traditional braces. They require periodic visits every two to six weeks until all brackets or buttons have been removed off of all teeth surfaces once the treatment completion occurs.

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.
