In the Hoosier state, a smile is everything. When you greet your neighbors, go to the grocery store, attend a PTA meeting, or do a presentation at work, a good smile and a friendly wave are your best introductions. But what happens when your smile isn’t looking or feeling its best? Oftentimes, people who experience oral health issues, such as tooth loss or gum disease, can’t smile due to pain or discomfort. They may also choose not to smile due to issues with self-consciousness. Without a pearly white smile, a Hoosier just isn’t the same! The good thing is that maintaining and improving your oral health is simple; a good daily routine and frequent visits to your dentist can make a dull smile bright. So embrace that Hoosier spirit and schedule your next dentist appointment today!

More than half of Indiana’s farmland, in a typical year, is planted in corn, making Indiana one of the biggest producers of corn in the world! Unfortunately, corn isn’t great for your oral health. Besides getting stuck in your teeth, eating corn on the cob is known to dislodge fillings, damage braces, and chip teeth! Popcorn, too, can get lodged between your teeth, leading to cavities and gum disease. Sweet corn can even wear away your enamel, leading to tooth discoloration. Despite all that, there’s no way we’ll stop eating corn! It’s just too darn tasty. So, taking care of our teeth and gums is vitally important! Whether or not you’re eating corn, always remember to brush and floss twice a day, balance your fluoride intake, and visit your dentist at least twice a year. For more information on maintaining and improving your oral health, contact your dentist.

    Today was my first time as a patient at Optima Family Dental in Chicago. I’ve gone with my child and wife when they had some work done, but I hadn’t been there for myself until today. Even before I was a patient, they’ve always been so friendly and gave me a big smile every time they saw me. Dr. Yoseph-Anhar and his staff are efficient and will tell you whatever’s happening in your mouth. They made sure they answered all my questions before doing anything. I had a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to go back for my 6-month follow-up appointment!

    I hate the dentist so much that I didn’t go for two years even though I was paying for insurance. The noises are like nails on a chalkboard, but I had the nicest hygienist ever! She cared when I told her I was anxious, and she asked me if I had any tooth sensitivity. When I told her yes and showed her where she kept putting a numbing agent on my bottom teeth to ensure I felt no pain. (My friend said her dentist charged extra for that!) She and I chatted like friends, and she was actually interested in me as a person, not just another patient. She was so great, and I hope I get her every time now! Then my dentist, Dr. Raghian, came in to look at me. He was really nice and told me about a few problem areas and things to watch for. I picked Winnetka Dental Care in Winnetka, IL-based on all the good reviews on Doctors Network, and I’m so glad I did!

Teeth whitening is the procedure of whitening teeth by removing stains and discoloration. There are multiple ways to whiten your teeth, including at-home whitening treatments and professional procedures. At-home whitening treatment includes toothpaste, mouthwashes, and bleaching strips or gels that you apply to the teeth. These dental products use bleaching agents to break down the discolorations on your tooth. Professional whitening procedures include laser teeth whitening, bleaching, and veneers. You can even consider getting whitening treatment to help you restore your confidence and improve your overall smile. Here are some benefits of teeth whitening: 1) It makes your teeth look more attractive and brighter. 2) It helps improve your self-confidence. 3) It can make you look younger. 4) It can enhance your oral health by reducing plaque and stain build-up and tooth decay.

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.
