Alright Fargo Moorhead West Fargo do you have any good dental questions for me?

Shark teeth! A very common question we get asked, “My child’s adult teeth are coming up behind their baby teeth. Should I be concerned?” Generally, we don’t get too concerned. Teeth erupt from the tongue side and tend to push up and out toward the lip with time. Sometimes a little more time needs to pass for the baby teeth to get wiggly and occasionally we have to help them come out. More than anything it’s unsightly for parents but nothing that requires a special office visit. Dentists assess all these types of things at regular cleaning appointments. *stock photo.

Have you ever noticed how much of a persons persona is projected through their teeth?

Something fun to think about! Teeth affect so much….. Self esteem, confidence, overall health/wellbeing, sociability, in Dana’s case, parody and humor.

These are fake teeth - when I wear them I become another person.

Orthodontics, worn teeth, when’s the right time?

Anytime! Meet two of my favorite patient cases, my parents. They grew up like so many without braces. They were over 70 when we straightened their teeth with clear aligners. My mom had wear so we fixed that as well, with crowns. Aren’t they adorable?!

Cold sores! … many get them. What can we do to prevent and treat? Often I write patients an antiviral script to have on hand. When you feel the tingle you take it to prevent blister formation. If you get it in time, it’s amazing! If you miss the window however, it can be a painful and long recovery. While we have other medicaments to aid during this time, this pharmacist has another interesting naturopathic remedy to suggest.

Whose kid gets cavities? 🙋🏻‍♀️ The truth is, anyones can. This is my sweet son a few years back. Why did he get decay? We see this a lot in tight primary teeth. Enamel in baby teeth is so thin to begin with and this situation can be caused by a multitude of factors. To name a few, poor enamel, limited space, poor hygiene, food catching, compliance. We fixed this at age 2. You can prevent this by sneaking a little floss in, helping your child brush and if needed rest easy knowing we are happy to help you. 🦷 The second picture is for fun! He adorably fell asleep in my chair one visit ♥️

What do you do if someone gets a tooth knocked out?!

Well, it’s only fitting we kick this page off on the right foot with mom reality! This happens at my house too and admittedly, it’s not just the kids!

Thanks for visiting! I'm a daughter, sister, wife, mom, cousin, friend, empath, eternal optimist, community cheerleader, dentist and run of the mill human. I spew positivity and love my job. There truly is no better profession. We get the joy of fixing teeth but the smiles, effect on self-esteem, and improved confidence is the real gift.

The goal of my page is to bridge the gap people sometimes feel between dental providers and themselves. My team and I are just like those we serve, humans with many hats. We go through the same silly, stressful, rewarding and tough, day-to-days. If you have a question, need clarity, or perhaps just a laugh, we hope to be your resource!

While we can't give individualized dental advice without physically seeing a patient, we can sure help with general questions and ambiguities that you may have. Send any topics of interest, comments, questions, or concerns our way!
