Hi! I’m Gibbs, The Dental Comfort Dog

General Dentistry, Kewaskum Family Dentistry, Pediatric Dentistry

Hi there! Gibbs, here. If you haven’t met me yet, I’m the furry fellow who comes to the office sometimes to lend a helping paw. I absolutely love giving snuggles and getting love from all the patients who come to the office. Everyone makes it seem like they come for their oral health, but I know the real reason. It’s to see me! I even have patients who drive hours to see me. I’m kind of a big deal around here. Since I am so popular, I have started my own TikTok page, and I’m on my way to becoming a star!

The Benefits Of Choosing An Out-Of-Network Dentist

Kewaskum Family Dentistry, New Patients, Patient Education

Has our practice been recommended to you, but you have yet to schedule an appointment because we are out-of-network with your insurance company? Or do you not have insurance, and you have been hesitating to visit the dentist because you are afraid of the out-of-pocket expenses? Dental insurance is a wonderful option for people, but a lack of insurance or our practice being out-of-network does not mean that we cannot provide the services you need. In fact, many times our patients who have dental insurance are limited to accepting the care the insurance will pay for instead of the treatments they truly need.
