Once upon a time I paid for a YMCA membership for a whole year ..., and didn't go once! I am a smart person( I think) . However paying for a gym membership and not using it doesn't sound very smart. The same thing happens all the time in the dental world. So many people pay and/or have been paying for dental insurance and not used it once.
Most of us try to maximize our medical flex spend accounts. You should also try to maximize your dental insurance benefits. Yearly maximums range from $1000-$2000. If you have dental care that has been recommended, why would you not use it? The insurance companies are counting on your dental phobias... they don't want you to come in and get your teeth taken care of!
It is really easy to get into a good habit of coming in for your dental check ups and cleanings. Don't go another month wasting your dental benefits!Call our office today to let us guide you back to excellent dental health.

Does going to the dentist make you nervous?
When I was a child, our family dentist was not known for "gentle dental care" . To this day, I get nervous hearing the sound of that drill! So, if you get a little anxious just thinking about coming in to the dental office, please rest your fears. These days, we have all sorts of distractions to help you face your fears. We have headphones ready to pipe in music of your choice, television, pleasant decor , a friendly staff, and most importantly the most gentle dentist around!
Yes, I know I am a little biased, but I think Dr . Johnson is the best around. We have had many patients over the years say that he has helped them overcome their dental fears.

Unplugged at the Dentist
Have you ever been in an elevator when someone begins to talk to you? Only you realize they are not talking to you, they are talking on their cell phone.... Have you ever been to the grocery store and a person is talking on their cell phone while the clerk is trying to check them out? The list goes on and on how using cell phones has penetrated our lives.
We kindly ask you to turn your phones off or put on vibrate, and NOT answer while in our office. We depend on our patients to show up and ready for treatment on time. If you are outside finishing a call and walk in 10 minutes late for your appointment, this is disruptive to your appointment. Also, if you are in the dental chair and we are trying to provide the service that you are paying us to do, it is difficult if you keep checking texts, or answering calls.
The old phrase, "Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you" never goes out of style. Would you want Dr Johnson to have his cell phone in his pocket and keep answering while drilling on your teeth. I know I wouldn't . So, when you come in to our office go UNPLUGGED!

The Importance of Routine Dental Check Ups
As we all watch the news and try to guess what is coming next in our current economic times, I encourage you to take time to care for your self. Little lifestyle habits make a big difference in your overall health. Regular exercise, healthy eating habits, good daily dental care, and regular visits to see your dentist are examples of these simple habits.
Ideally, patients should find a dentist that they trust, then maintain a lifelong relationship with their dental care provider. Of course, I hope that you choose to allow me to provide that dental care. Routine dental care can help to prevent bigger problems.
Regular dental exams and cleanings can help to prevent periodontal disease. Of course, routine oral exams are also important to detect oral cancers in the earliest stages.
Small problems , such as fillings , are easier and less expensive to fix then big ones like crowns.
If your dental insurance changes, please remember to let us know when you come in. We now have the ability to accept payments online through our secure website at: http://www.ident.ws/template_include/po_login.jsp?site=5057&page=Pay+Online
