Another year is upon us and many choose to make those ever popular New Years' resolutions. Losing weight and living healthier is typically the number one resolution amongst the population. Did you know your oral health affects your entire body? Periodontal disease (gum disease) has been linked to heart disease, strokes, diabetes, respiratory infections, preterm babies, and weakened immune systems. Why not take the step to better oral health? Make your dental wellness appointment today and get a head start on that resolution!

Our topic today is porcelain veneers.

Whether your smile is disfigured by decay, abrasion, breakage, or you simply just don't like it, veneers can help you once again smile with confidence. Because they are custom made, veneers are hard to distinguish from your natural teeth. They resist stains from coffee, tea, red wine and cigarette smoke because they are made of high-tech, extremely polishable materials. Any superficial stain can be removed during your routine dental wellness visits.

If for any reason you are unhappy with your smile, please call us today and set up a complimentary cosmetic evaluation!

For a limited time only, Modern Touch Dental is offering 25% off a Phillips Sonicare toothbrush. Please mention this online special when you call the office.

Sonicare's patented sonic technology drives unique bristle tip velocity

It's what sets us apart. Sonicare achieves its bristle velocity--the movement of the brush head in your mouth--through a combination of high frequency and high amplitude bristle motions. These motions create dynamic cleaning action that drives fluids deep into the tight spaces between your teeth and along the gum line, which results in a cleaner, healthier mouth.

Many of us become anxious with the idea of going to the dentist.Just hearing the word dentist can make us break out in a cold sweat. We understand this and thankfully there are now options to make your dental experience more comfortable and relaxing. At Modern Touch Dental we not only use a gentle hand, but we can also offer Nitrous Oxide or Oral Conscious Sedation to help you relax through your appointment.

Be sure to ask us about these options when you are scheduling your appointment.

I'm interested in hearing how you feel about your dental insurance company. I deal with them on a daily basis and OH! the stories I could tell. Such as: Anesthetic is not a covered benefit because it's considered elective. Really?

How about this one: We deducted benefits from one patient because another patient with the same insurance plan owes us money. Yep! Just dealt with that one.

Now it's your turn. I'd love to hear some of your stories.
