Do you take my insurance plan?
We accept most forms of indemnity dental insurance that are provided by employers in our area. If your plan allows you unrestricted choice of any dentist to provide for your care-we probably will accept your plan. Plans that restrict your choices to a short list of providers are HMO, PPO, or closed panel plans. We currently do not work with these plans.
Our most commonly accepted plans include: Delta Dental (Premier), Medical Mutual, Guardian, BC/BS, Metlife, Cigna, and Aetna; although we accept many others.

Bad Breath (Halitosis) Bad breath can be a cause for embarrassment. Certain foods, such as garlic and onions, contribute to breath odor. Once the food is absorbed into the bloodstream, it is transferred to the lungs, where it is expelled. Brushing, flossing, and mouthwash only mask the odor temporarily. Dieters may develop unpleasant breath from infrequent eating. If you don't brush and floss daily, food that collects on the tongue and between teeth can rot, leaving an unpleasant odor. Bad breath can also be caused by dry mouth; saliva is necessary to help neutralize and cleanse the mouth. Tobacco products can also cause bad breath. Bad breath can also be the sign of a medical disorder, such as an infection in the lungs or sinuses, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, liver, or kidney ailment. Maintaining good oral health is essential to reducing bad breath. Schedule regular dental visits for a professional cleaning and checkup. If you think you have constant bad breath, keep a log of the foods you eat and make a list of medications you take. Let us know if you've had any surgery or illness since your last appointment. If you must constantly use a breath freshener or need extra help in controlling plaque, we may prescribe the use of an antimicrobial mouth rinse.
Cavity Killer - If you tend to get cavities, chew on this: Gum that is sweetened with xylitol can help prevent tooth decay. Study participants who chewed on gum with xylitol after meals had far fewer cavity-causing bacteria in their mouths five minutes afterward than people who chewed gum sweetened with sorbitol or people who didn't chew gum at all. Check the label on your favorite gum to see if it contains the cavity-fighting ingredient.
