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!

At Times Square Dental, we know that going to the dentist isn’t your favorite thing to do. That’s why we make every effort to create a positive experience for you in our Boise, ID dental office.

Here’s Dr. Hastings talking more about how being a skilled professional is only a part of helping patients achieve good oral health. It’s also about making you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible in a fun, free environment!

Summer is the perfect time to finally get to those projects around the house you’ve been putting off. Maybe there’s a piece of furniture you’d like to repurpose. Perhaps you’d like to transform a spare bedroom into a new weight room. Or maybe you’d like to paint your kitchen and replace the cabinets.

Our Boise dental staff wants you to consider another kind of summer project. It’s one that offers transformative benefits and is a phone call away. A smile makeover at Times Square Dental is a series of cosmetic and restorative procedures that can have a profoundly positive impact on your life!

Summer is the perfect opportunity to slow down a little bit. With the kids out of school, there isn’t such a mad rush every weeknight to do homework, make dinner, and race off to this practice or that ballgame.

With the longer days and a less hectic schedule, our team at Times Square Dental thought it was the perfect chance to talk to you about the value of spending just a few minutes each day to invest in your smile.

One of the biggest threats to our smiles in this country is gum disease. It can creep up on you over many years, sometimes without symptoms, and is the leading cause of tooth loss in America.

We love summer and all the outdoor activities that go along with it. But some of these summer activities create more opportunities to damage your smile if you’re not careful.

That’s why our team at Times Square Dental wants to share this infographic with you today. Check out some of the ways you can keep your smile beautiful and healthy this summer!
