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!

    Who is Dr. Wade Kifer DDS?
    view full bio

    Dr. Wade Kifer, DDS, was born in Missouri and spent his early years there before moving to Fort Smith, Arkansas, at the age of 13. It was during his time in Arkansas that he first developed an interest in dentistry, drawn by his passion for both science and helping others. Dentistry became a natural fit for him, blending his love for both fields.

    After graduating from Southside High School in 1995, Dr. Kifer went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Arkansas in 1999. He was then accepted into the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry, where he earned his dental degree in 2003. To further refine his skills, he completed a one-year residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD), focusing on delivering high-quality general dental care.

    While in Tennessee, Dr. Kifer met his wife, Claire, who was studying physical therapy. The two married in 2004 in her hometown of Dyersburg, Tennessee, before relocating to northwest Arkansas. He gained valuable experience working in both an orthodontic practice and a general dental office before joining Dr. Broyles’ practice in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in the summer of 2006.

    Dr. Kifer has a deep passion for continuing education and is committed to staying at the forefront of dentistry. He consistently exceeds state requirements by completing over one hundred hours of continuing education annually, five times the minimum required. He has been studying at the Kois Center of Excellence in Seattle since 2008 and is an active member of both the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Arkansas State Dental Association (ASDA). In addition, he serves as the President of the Academy of Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy (AIDT) and volunteers his time at the Fayetteville Free Health Center.

    Outside of his professional life, Dr. Kifer enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Claire, and their three children—Kate, Kinley, and Nicholas—who are the greatest joys in their lives. The family is active in their church and enjoys attending Razorback sports events, including football, basketball, and baseball games. Dr. Kifer also enjoys hiking and canoeing as part of his outdoor hobbies.

What is teeth whitening?

gingiva-achiever-825

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.
