May. 2nd 2023

Question: I have a current PPO dental insurance though my employer. I would like to know if I buy one of your PPO dental insurance plan options could I use it as a Supplemental plan to the one I already have.

Answer: The short answer is yes however, you should make sure that your current dental insurance will aloud you do coordinate benefits. As we would have no idea about that. Also I would strongly advise that you make sure your dental office will coordinate benefits. Not all dental offices are willing to accept two insurance plans.

Kids Dental – Kids Oral Health Care

Sep. 7th 2022

What can you do to maintain your child oral health

When it comes to good oral health care for your child/children make sure to choose healthy snacks and get adequate fluoride. Kids need a lot of water for hydration as well as to make their teeth stronger.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics they recommends that kids should not drink more than 4 oz. of juice per day, and the average juice box is 6 oz. Choosing water and snacks that do not contain simple carbohydrates will help. Good options include fresh fruits and vegetables, deli meat and cheeses. Also, you want to foster a good relationship between your kids and their dentist.

My husband currently has a dental bridge, however it is old and needs to be replaced.  However If we can afford to get him dental implants we rather have implants compared to a new dental bridge. We know they can be costly and they are not covered under our current dental plan. Are there any dental plans that provides some coverage’s towards the cost of dental implants?

Feb. 19th 2018

Dental discount plans are a great way to reduce your dental care cost. For people that have dental insurance for work but are stuck waiting for open enrollment to add their baby to their plan, buying a dental discount plan can be very helpful.

Most dental discount plans start within the next business day of buying it. They do not have long term waiting periods therefore if you need to take your baby to see a pediatric dentist you can do so and save money. Another plus is with most dental discount plans you can buy it just for baby and not have to be force into buy a family plan if you do not need one.

Baby Dental, Avoiding Baby Dental Decay Tip Five.

Feb. 17th 2018

Juice can be healthy for growing kids but it can also damage baby teeth. The sugars found naturally in whole fruit and vegetables do not normally cause tooth decay.

Yet, when the juice is extracted from the fruit, or vegetable, the natural sugar is released. Once these sugars are released, they can damage teeth, especially if fruit juice is drunk frequently. Fruit juice still provides healthy benefits, just limit juice to one cup with meals.

Pediatric Dentist for Special Needs Child

Feb. 15th 2018

Pediatric dentists, are they prepared to care for special needs children?

Question: I have a special need child that is 18 months old. His teeth have been coming in and I know I need to take him to the dentist.   I am told that sometime special needs children have larger dental issues.  That I really need to stay on top of his dental needs so that he maintain healthy teeth.  I am just not sure who I really go to.

Do I see a family dentist or should I take him to a Pediatric dentist.  Up to what age will a Pediatric dentist normal see a child for?  I would like any helpful information please.  I am wanting to find the best dentist for my son.

Reply: Children in general should see a Pediatric dentist at least until around age five or six. Just like you would normally take your child to a Pediatrician for their health care needs you would want to do the same for their dental care needs.  a Pediatric dentist is better equiped to provide dental care services to children.  Their office are normally very kid friendly. Kids with specially needs will also be better off at a Pediatric dental office.
