It's Spring! Time for change and new beginnings.

Our new office building in Woodruff is almost complete (see the video of our progress). We are expected to move in during June.

Last month we attended the Minnesota Dental Convention. Lots of new products! Lot of classes! We attended: Managing Oral Health in Elderly Patients (Dr. Liesen), Bleaching/Whitening (Dr. Pinzl), Team Work & Patient Schedules (Julie, Lori, & Patti), Oral Cancer Screening: A Hands-on Course (Dr. Liesen & Kathie). We're excited to bring this info back to the office!

Happy Spring! Keep smiling!

Fluoride: A Shield for your Teeth

For over half a century, the benefits of fluoride have been accepted without question. Unfortunately, most people assume that the fluoride they get from their toothpaste and tap water is enough. This is not always the case. Fluorides are, of course, beneficial for children, but many adults also suffer from problems for which fluoride may also be the answer.

--Cavity control
--Early gum disease control
--Gum maintenance
--Orthodontic maintenance --Post surgical rinse
--Root surface cavities
--Side effects from medicine
--Crown & bridge maintenance

Q. Am I more prone to certain dental conditions as I age?

A. As you age, certain medications and changes in salivary flow may lead to gingivitis as well as cavities. You will need to use products at home to strengthen teeth (fluoride, MI paste) and help with salivary flow (Biotene, Xylitol). See your dental professional at Drs. Liesen & Pinzl. It's the best way to achieve good oral health.
