University Dental Group

University Dental Group Comprehensive and Preventive Patient Care in Des Moines. Welcome to our office! We take great satisfaction in helping you maintain optimal oral health.

Our practice is devoted to comprehensive and preventive patient care. Children’s dental health is very important to us. We recommend that a child’s first dental visit occur shortly after their first birthday and after the first tooth has erupted. This is an ideal time for our team to evaluate your child’s oral, dental, and nutritional health. Throughout our website, you will find an abundance of i

nformation about our practice, procedures we provide, and dentistry in general. Please explore and learn as much about dentistry and our services as you desire. We believe our patients should have as much information as possible in order to make important, informed decisions regarding their oral health. Our patients are our most important asset, and we strive to develop long-lasting, trusting relationships. Your referrals are welcome and appreciated.

Did you know your mouth and your mental health are more connected than you might think? 💭🦷

Stress and anxiety can lead to teeth grinding, jaw tension, and even skipping regular checkups. And when oral health slips it can affect our confidence, which circles right back to how we feel mentally.

Instead of rushing through your morning routine, use it as an opportunity to check in with yourself. As you brush, slow your breathing, relax your jaw, and take a moment to notice how you're feeling before you start your day.
