disease can contribute to conditions like:
Heart disease
Diabetes
Premature birth

in one day?”
Yes you can, unless:
The crown is on a front tooth
You have an exceptionally strong bite
You want a gold crown
You need more than 2 crowns in one area
32. “Flossing bores me.
Why do I have to do it?”
Remember the old adage
“An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure”?
That goes double for flossing.
33. Flossing prevents decay and disease
Periodontal disease is incurable but preventable
It can only be prevented by regular
flossing and hygiene visits
Decay between the teeth can be
prevented by regular flossing
34. What will my insurance pay for?
Good question!
Dental insurance is more similar
to auto insurance than it is to your
medical coverage.
35. Insurance
You are covered for what your employer has
purchased the policy for and this can vary
even within the same company.
36. We are happy to help you
Please make an appointment to see
one of our treatment coordinators
and bring your booklet so we can
help you understand your coverage.
37. “My plan might not pay, so why
should I come every 3 months?”
Everyone’s hygiene needs are different but
neglecting your gums if you have periodontal
disease could cost you your teeth
38. “What is Xylitol?”
“Tooth-friendly" natural sweetener
Prevents cavities by inhibiting the
bacteria that cause tooth decay
For where to find Xylitol products
ask your hygienist today
39. “Why do I have to wear a
night guard?”
If you grind and clench your teeth,
they suffer damage from bruxism.
Wearing a night guard can save you
thousands in costly reconstruction.
40. Missing a tooth?
Dentures fitting poorly?
Implants can replace
• One tooth
• Several teeth
• A whole arch of teeth

They are the most solid tooth
replacement option available.

Dr. Seebach offers mild to moderate
conscious sedation if you are
nervous about your visit.
Ask anyone on the team
for more information.
45. “My plan only pays for silver fillings,
why can’t I just get these?”
Amalgam fillings:
Require removal of healthy tooth
structure to retain them in the tooth
Look unseemly…
46. Mercury Fillings
• Have toxic mercury in
their composition
• Mask decay and obscure
potential problems,
especially on x-rays
47. Why do I need a crown?
When more that 50% of your tooth
is damaged, a filling can be
inadequate in the long-term
48. Crowns
Cover the entire biting surface
Help prevent further breakage
Crucial for teeth with root canals
49. Good dental care starts early
Our hygienists have a few tips
for caring for your child’s teeth
Brush as soon as the first tooth
appears
use soft, child sized brush
(available from us)
50. Early Dental Care
Use just a smear of toothpaste
Discourage “grazing” on foods and
drinks during the day
Put your child to bed with WATER only
NEVER milk or juice
51. The Dental Exam
It’s more that just a “check-up”
Your dentist will look at many
things during your exam.
52. Your dentist reviews:
Your medical history
Conditions or medication that could impact your dental
health or how we care for you
The condition of your teeth: decay, failing restorations,
unusual wear
53. Other things we look for:
Your gums – to look for periodontal
disease which could lead to tooth loss
Your soft tissue to rule out cancer
or irregular growths
54. “Why do I need x-rays?”
Dental x-rays allow
your dentist to see
a multitude of things
that can’t be seen
with direct vision.
55. A few examples are:
Decay between your teeth or below your fillings
Bone loss from gum disease
Infections, cysts and tumors in your jaw bone
Developmental abnormalities
57. Social Media
We invite you to like us
on Facebook
Rate us on Google
Follow us on Twitter
58. Need Wifi?
If you are unable to connect to
Shaw To Go, you are welcome
to use our BBS Wifi
59. We are often asked
“Only my bottom teeth are crooked,
why do I have to have Invisalign®
on the top and bottom?”
60. This is why:
For every movement we make to a tooth,
we have to make room in your bite.
Even if your Invisalign® treatment is
for aesthetics, we cannot compromise
your dental health to achieve this.
