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!

If you’ve ever suffered from a toothache, a sharp pain, or discomfort when eating a sugar cream pie or drinking a cold glass of water, you may be wondering how you can improve your daily oral hygiene routine. Getting strong, healthy teeth isn’t as hard as you may think. However, besides brushing and flossing two times a day, there are a few more things you can keep in mind. First, use the right toothbrush! Your brush should fit comfortably in your mouth and have soft bristles. Second, eat a balanced diet! Your teeth and gums need proteins, vitamins, and even different textured foods to stay healthy. Third, avoid smoking, drinking, chewing tobacco, and excess sugars. For more personalized information about maintaining your pearly whites, talk to your dentist today!

What is tooth extraction?

a
ache-remover-696

Tooth extraction or tooth removal is classified into two main types: simple extractions and surgical extractions. Understanding the difference between these types can help you prepare for your procedure. 1. Simple Extraction: This method of tooth extraction is performed on a tooth that is fully erupted in the mouth and can be removed with dental forceps with relative ease. After administering a topical anesthetic and then local anesthetic (Novocaine) to numb the area, the dentist or oral surgeon loosens the tooth by luxating it with an instrument called a straight elevator and then removes it with surgical forceps. Simple dental extraction is typically performed without the need to cut the gum, which is called raising a gingival flap in technical terminology, which is the process of making an incision in the gum and then separating the entire thickness of the gum away from the underlying bone, thereby exposing the actual jaw bone under it. This is done usually for teeth that are carious, damaged, or need to be extracted for orthodontic reasons. 2. Surgical Extraction: Surgical tooth extractions are more complex and are considered for teeth that are not easily accessible, such as impacted wisdom teeth (3rd molars) or teeth that have very little clinical crown left of them. Root tips also need to be surgically exposed sometimes. This method involves making the aforementioned incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and the underlying bone. The tooth may be cut into smaller pieces for easy removal. Sometime it is even required to truph the bone surrounding the roots (alveolar bone). Truphing the bone is the process of cutting the alveolar bone around the tooth to loosen the roots further, usually done on roots that are significantly curved or ankylosed (adhered to the bone). Surgical dental extraction is usually performed under local anesthesia, but sedation options are also available usually for wisdom teeth removal or high anxiety patients. Surgical tooth extraction may be needed for impacted teeth that are deeply embedded in the jawbone.

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.
