Dental Blog

Are you getting the most out of your dental appointments? If you’re not sure, then today’s blog is for you!

If you thought healthy teeth and gums were achieved by brushing your teeth alone, we hope to deepen your understanding of what it takes to have a safe, healthy, beautiful smile!

Our team at Times Square Dental wants to make sure you’re taking advantage of our preventive services so your smile gets healthy and stays that way.

All dentists will tell you that pulling a tooth isn’t ideal, but sometimes, it’s the best thing to do for the sake of your smile and your oral health.

When you come to Times Square Dental for your oral surgery, you have nothing to fear at all. But we know most people would avoid oral surgery if they could.

That’s why we want to share some tips with you today about how to avoid oral surgery. If, however, it can’t be avoided, trust your procedure to Dr. Hastings and our highly-skilled team here in Boise, ID.

Of all the socially awkward moments you could experience, having someone tell you that your breath stinks is pretty high on the list of embarrassing incidents. It’s not always easy to tell when you have bad breath, which is weird considering it’s all happening literally under your nose!

Sometimes, you can use breath mints, gum, and mouthwash to keep your breath fresh, but other times, the solution isn’t so simple. It might require the help of a professional to get to the underlying cause of the stink!

As much as we’d love for our kids to make good decisions about their health on their own, we know that’s just not how parenting goes! It’d sure make it a lot easier, right?

But don’t worry. Times Square Dental is here to help! Our team in Boise, ID is committed to helping everyone in your household maintain good hygiene habits for their best oral health.

If your teeth could talk, what would they say?

Greetings, from all us at Times Square Dental! We hope you’re enjoying the summer and good oral health.

Today, our team of dental professionals here in Boise, ID want to talk to you about how your teeth speak to Dr. Hastings, Dr. Dial, and the rest of our trained staff. When you come in for a routine dental cleaning and exam, we can gather certain things about your life and your habits without you having to say a word.

That’s because so much of what we do on a daily basis can be reflected in the state of our teeth and gums. So let’s look at a few of the things your teeth might say to us about you, if your teeth could talk!

Cultures all over the world have been obsessed with porcelain for centuries. Known for its strength and delicacy, porcelain has been used to craft fine works of art, pottery, and china.

But in the last several years, porcelain has made its way into your mouth, and it’s just as stunning as ever.

Crafted from porcelain, dental veneers are one of modern dentistry’s hottest commodities for their durability and beauty. These powerful porcelain shells bond to your teeth to cover up minor imperfections on your teeth and in your smile.

Our team at Times Square Dental knows that going to the dentist probably isn’t your favorite thing to do. But for millions of Americans, maintaining regular dental appointments is more than just an unpleasant thing to do. It’s a terrifying thing to do.

That’s because of something called dental anxiety. It’s when you’re so fearful of going to the dentist that you avoid it as much as possible. If you’ve put off scheduling your routine dental cleaning and exam out of fear, then you’re probably one of those millions we just mentioned.

Sedation dentistry at Times Square Dental can have a profoundly positive impact on your life. Dr. Hastings and our caring team are here and ready to help you overcome dental anxiety, and gain courage and confidence for an improved quality of life.

While you’re celebrating the warm summer season, celebrate your beautiful, healthy smile, too!

Dr. Hastings and our team at Times Square Dental offer sedation dentistry options to help you overcome dental anxiety and get the care you need. Check out today’s infographic about just some of the ways sedation dentistry can help you get a smile worth celebrating!
