A: The brand of the toothbrush is not as critical as the type of bristle and the size of the head. A soft toothbrush with a small head is recommended because medium and hard brushes tend to cause irritation and contribute to recession of the gums, and a small head allows you to get around each tooth more completely and is less likely to injure your gums.
Invisalign's invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners will give you the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted. And best of all, no one can tell you're wearing them. Invisalign is great for adults and teenagers. What is Invisalign? Teeth that are badly stained, shaped or crooked may be improved by a veneer placed on the surface of the affected teeth.
Does mercury in the silver fillings in your mouth pose any long-term health risks? Does fluoride, in spite of everything we've been told since childhood, actually cause more harm than good? What does the latest research reveal about tobacco use on your overall oral health? Oral piercings (usually in the tongue or around the lips) have quickly become a popular trend in today's society.
Sealants are liquid coatings that harden on the chewing surfaces of teeth and are showing a great deal of effectiveness in preventing cavities-even on teeth where decay has begun. The pits and grooves of your teeth are prime areas for opportunistic decay.
When X-rays pass through your mouth during a dental exam, more X-rays are absorbed by the denser parts (such as teeth and bone) than by soft tissues (such as cheeks and gums) before striking the film.This creates an image on the radiograph. What is flossing? Flossing is a method for removing bacteria and other debris that cannot be reached by a toothbrush.

So, I don’t relish going to the dentist ever. But, needing a dentist here in Star Valley I chose Star Valley Dental and am very pleased.
They recently made the experience of a root canal completely bearable. Very good at discussing the options and procedure. I appreciated so much the flexibility with appointments, attention to pain management, and professional customer-oriented service. And they remember every detail from the last visit! I would highly recommend Dr. Hokanson and staff. Thank you for a good experience.

Dr. Hokanson and his staff are wonderful to work with. When working with one of my children who was very nervous, they were very compassionate, gentle, and did their best to reassure her and make her comfortable. They worked quickly and resolved her problem so fast that she didn’t believe they had already finished.
Ashley, the receptionist, is super helpful and friendly and always tries to accommodate with scheduling.
Also, Gretchen is the absolute best hygienist and my all time favorite to make those pearly whites sparkle! She is very gentle and an all around delight to be around. All of my

The treatment was fine, the billing is a pain. Apparently because I had received treatment in 2004 as a kid when I got treatment they shifted my old charges to a new account, then adjusted it without making a note of it on my bill and then I had to decipher this bill and give them a call. Apparently my parents stopped using them because of billing issues apparently that is not gone. I was told this is a persistent issue, and that there is nothing they could do. Make a note? Tell the customer? Hell, even the old charges on the bill could have been added so at least the numbers add up. I am surprised
