Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt unhappy with your smile? That’s exactly how one of our patients felt when he came to us for help. Years of wear, decay, and discomfort had taken a toll, and he was ready to make a change. After a consultation, we recommended extractions and immediate dentures as the most cost-effective and transformative solution.
At Kewaskum Family Dentistry, we know oral health is about more than just your teeth and gums. Research increasingly shows that keeping your mouth healthy plays an essential role in maintaining your body’s overall wellness. By prioritizing preventive care and healthy habits, you protect much more than your smile.
Did you know that your smile is one of your most valuable assets? With each tooth valued at roughly $5,000 when considering the cost of replacement, its total worth exceeds $140,000! That’s a pretty significant investment, and like anything valuable, it requires consistent care to keep it strong.
With the new year approaching, now is a great time to reflect on your oral health and make any necessary changes to ensure optimal health in 2025. Did you know there are several bad habits that can negatively affect the state of your teeth and gums?

At Kewaskum Family Dentistry, we recommend that our patients visit us every four to six months for a routine oral hygiene examination and cleaning. During these visits, we do more than just clean your teeth–we also check for signs of problems such as gum disease, oral cancer, and dental decay. One of the most common concerns patients have during their appointments is whether there are any signs of decay or cavities. Cavities are the most common dental issue seen in both children and adults. While many people are familiar with the term, we want to make sure you understand how cavities develop and why they can be harmful to your oral health.

This is beneficial for many reasons. Read on to learn more.

This includes scheduling your appointment at a time that works best for you, avoiding caffeine, and listening to relaxing music.
At Kewaskum Family Dentistry, we do all we can to help our patients save their natural teeth. Unfortunately, it is not always possible, and we may need to perform a tooth extraction. There are many reasons why a tooth extraction may be needed, including severe decay, trauma to the mouth, complications from wisdom teeth, severe gum disease, and removing teeth prior to orthodontic treatment.
