In order to help our patients achieve a healthy a mouth,
as free of decay, crowding and gum problems as possible,
each patient will be advised to come in for a separate
appointment for specific instructions on how to avoid tooth
decay and associated problems. The instruction is thorough,
intensive and will serve to teach, motivate and inspire the
patient on the methods and value of good preventive care.
Areas covered include toothbrushing, plaque disclosing
methods, use of dental floss and a snack and diet review.
Patients in orthodontic bands will be shown how to use an
electric toothbrush.
A discussion of fluoride tablets, fluoride mouthwashes and
toothpastes will also be included. Follow-up appointments
to review results and reinforce the techniques taught will
be set up as needed. If preventive practices are properly
taught and included in the daily lives of our patients,
they will go forward to a future of good dental health.

dental needs. Dr. Anderson's office is
sensitive to the needs of parents that love their
children more than anything else in the world. We
provide care in a child-friently atmosphere with a
colorful office decor for children. We have "tooth
TV" where children can better see their dental health
with intraoral cameras that look inside the mouth and
project enlarged pictures of their teeth on TV. Our
waiting room has DVD disc programs to
provide children with dental health education and
entertainment while waiting.
