Daily Oral Care for a Lifetime of Healthy Teeth

In Big Sky Country, oral health is just as important as a good pair of boots. Painful or missing teeth can make it nearly impossible to chomp down on a bison burger, or enjoy one of the state’s famous huckleberry pies. What’s more, poor oral health can lead to health problems ranging from gum disease to heart failure! Think about it this way—not maintaining your oral health now is like not filling up your tank before driving on the I-90. Ignoring your teeth will lead to series issues down the line. So, contact your dentist today to learn how you can maintain your teeth daily to keep them strong and healthy for life.

Clearing the Way for a Bright Smile

Just like how you plow the road after a big snow storm to remove ice and debris, brushing your teeth twice a day is vital for removing plaque. For a bright, healthy smile, you need to clear the bad stuff out of the way. Brushing and flossing daily is the best thing you can do for maintaining your smile for life, and it just takes a few minutes! For more impact, use mouthwash, eat a balanced diet, avoid smoking, and, of course, schedule a visit with your dentist at least twice per year.

view full bio
Dr. Blake Sherwood has always felt that giving back to his community was of the utmost importance. While attending Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Sherwood earned a scholarship from the U.S. Air Force that gave him the opportunity to receive advanced dental training and give back to his country. After graduating with honors, Dr. Sherwood went to Maxwell Air Force Base to complete officer training, then completed a one-year dental residency program at Barksdale AFB. During this time he was trained in orthodontics, laser surgery techniques, oral sleep appliance therapy, CBCT implementation, same-day crown delivery, bone graft placement and management, implant placement and restoration, periodontal surgery, clear-tray aligner orthodontics, Invisalign, and moderate sedation techniques.

Dr. Sherwood also spent time at Whiteman AFB where he worked with an Air Force dental team that taught him the importance of patient safety and comfort. He carries those lessons with him to this day, using them as the foundation for his own practice. Today, Dr. Sherwood enjoys treating patients in the Plains area and getting involved with his community.

If you take good care of your teeth, you may be wondering why your dentist says you need this appointment every 6 months. There are several dental problems that you may miss at an early stage. They may not cause any pain, and may not demonstrate any visible signs. However, a dental prophylaxis appointment (teeth cleaning visit) can help your dentist diagnose these dental problems at an early stage. The term dental cleaning (prophylaxis) encompasses several techniques that are used by most dental personnel to professionally remove plaque, stain, and calculus (tartar) from patients’ teeth. Oftentimes, the toothbrush coronal polish (i.e. toothbrush and toothpaste) is a procedure that is used to remove plaque from teeth surfaces and demonstrate brushing techniques to caregivers for young kids and for patients with special needs who cannot tolerate using a rubber cup. The rubber cup coronal polish is a treatment in which a dental polishing paste is rubbed onto tooth surfaces with a rotary bristle brush or rotary rubber cup to remove plaque and stains from your teeth. Dental scaling is a procedure where hand or ultrasonic instruments are used to remove calculus or tartar and stains. Full mouth debridement may be needed as a preliminary treatment for those patients whose medical, psychological, physical, or periodontal conditions result in calculus accumulation beyond the scope of routine prophylaxis (regular teeth cleanings). These procedures expedite the clinical examination and introduce dental services to the patient. Also, the accompanying preventive appointment demonstrates proper oral hygiene techniques to the patient and/or caregivers. Flossing is an essential part of the prophylaxis that removes interproximal and subgingival (under the gum) plaque, aiding in educating the patient and enhancing the oral examination.
