Use a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small strip of fluoride toothpaste. When you brush your teeth, move the brush in small, circular motions to reach food particles that may be under your gum line. Hold the toothbrush at an angle and brush slowly and carefully, covering all areas between teeth and the surface of each tooth.

This place has the worst dental practice I have ever seen. My granddaughter has had her braces for an extremely long time. I took her to her last appointment and after the appointment I asked the dentist what is her plan. The dentist tells me that she doesn’t know because this is only the third time she has seen her😩 Apparently, you see whatever dentist that is available during your appointment. This would not be a problem if they communicate with each other or read the patient’s chart. So, the interest part is when the receptionist tried to defend the dentist not knowing the plan for my

Whenever I get a cleaning I don’t think the dentist looks at my teeth in way he can actually observe if something is wrong. Without exaggerating, he will look at your teeth for literally 5 seconds and say “you’re good.” He’s also the one that checks my moms teeth and has overlooked caries. Also, last time I got a cleaning, the lady cut off a piece of my gums between my teeth of how rough she was doing it.

I would give negative stars if it was available. Avoid this facility at any cost. Terrible service. The doc it self screwed up my teeth unnecessarily. I went for cleaning and he asked if there was any issues and unfortunately I said one teeth was sensitive.
I had already some broken teeth from 20 years which was doing fine. He ended up filing and put a crown on it and then my trouble started. That was not even the teeth that was sensitive. The crowned teeth was so sensitive that I was not able to eat for weeks and ended up with root canal. Every time I contacted the doc he was recommending something

My experience with service was great. It's a clean office with very friendly staff. My issue is the billing! Before the procedure Vicki (front desk) tells me we recvd preauthorization from your insurance company, you will be responsible for a payment of $243. The amount was paid before the procedure. Three months after the procedure I get a bill for $405! When I called to question this bill. Vicki tells me that this procedure is a covered benefit only after a contractual waiting period has ended. Which was another 23 days!!!!. Ummmmm, During this preauthorization call did you or did you not discuss

This office is terrible when it comes to billing. I was told the person that handles billing inquiries works from home which is understandable. However, when I asked if there was any way I could speak to her in reference to my account I was told that she doesn't speak to patients directly. I asked if I could email her I was told no to that as well which is ridiculous especially when the office staff can't answer my questions. The office is clean and the hygienist are awesome but it's not worth the headache.

Good for the basics. Hygienist and dental assistants are very nice and caring however the office as a whole does not own up to mistakes when they make an error whether it’s scheduling, billing or diagnosis. Also, if you want serious dental work or braces done be sure to get a second opinion because they will give you “the works” when you don’t need it to get that dollar from your insurance company and hopefully your deductible/copay isn’t too much. Six patients are going elsewhere.

I love Smile Forever Dentistry!! The doctors are great and the supporting staff is excellent. I never have to wait. They are always on time with their scheduling. I starting experiencing shifting with my bottom teeth and decided to get braces; although this decision wouldn't be popular with most middle-aged adults. I am now 9 months into the process and I can see quite a difference already. Dr. Shin knows what he is doing for sure. I would definitely recommend Smile Forever for you basic dental needs and orthodontics.
