Have you ever been embarrassed by a misaligned smile or crooked teeth? If you’re thinking about braces, does a teenager with a mouth of metal brackets and wire come to mind?

As a natural cavity fighter, fluoride is important in maintaining oral health. Fluoride is even added to some countries’ public water supplies, including the United States, to help citizens maintain good oral health. What is fluoride? It is a naturally occurring mineral that is found in the environment. Teeth receive and lose minerals everyday through the enamel coating. Acid attacks the enamel when minerals are lost. Fluoride works to protect the enamel by making the surface of the teeth resistant to harm done by acidic foods and drinks.
We have a special treat for you today! I sat down with Dr. Shane Conner, an oral maxillofacial surgeon with Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Associates (OMSA), and I’d like to share the video of our meeting with you. We discuss how the implant treatment is easier than most people think and he answers lots of common questions about the procedure. Dr. Shane is one of 7 oral surgeons in a group that has 5 offices serving southeastern Wisconsin — their Slinger, WI office is the closest to our practice. Watch the video and you’ll learn why dental implants are a popular treatment.
Do you think you missed the boat on having straighter teeth or a better aligned smile now that you are an adult? When you think of braces do you only think of teenagers wearing a mouth full of metal? We want you to know that even as an adult, you can improve the alignment of your teeth and bite using orthodontics. What’s more, you also have options other than metal for braces, including ceramic and clear.

We are excited to announce that Dr. Nick Mueller will be joining our practice at the end of July. Dr. Nick brings with him a wealth of experience working in public health dentistry that will benefit our patients.
As your child’s teeth start to come in, you may notice overcrowded or crooked teeth or that they have an over or underbite. Don’t assume you can wait until they are in their early teens to see an orthodontist. By 7 years old, recommend your child be seen if they are showing signs of orthodontic issues. The chances of correcting overcrowding or a misaligned bite are greater (and treatment is less costly) when orthodontic treatments begin at a younger age.
