No insurance? No problem! Check out Glacier Dental's in-office savings plan!

Glacier Dental's In-office Savings Plan

Often times, patients without insurance find it harder to get to the dentist for regular check-ups because budget is a concern. With Glacier Dental's in office savings plan, budget no longer needs to be a concern. Here's how it works!

There are three different parts to the savings plan: Individual, Family or Periodontal Maintenance. The individual plan is a total of $350 which is a savings of $216! This plan includes two continued care appointments, two periodic exams, one limited exam, four bitewing x-rays, and three periapical x-rays. In a nutshell, this includes two full cleanings and exams and one emergency exam. The cost is unbeatable!

The second option is the family plan. The cost is $1300, a savings of $1340. It is for a family for four family members (dependents up to age 21). The plan is essentially the same as the individual plan, but each family member will receive two continued care appointments, two periodic exams, one limited exam, four bitewing x-rays, and three periapical x-rays.

And the third option, periodontal maintenance, is a fee of $650 which is a $439 savings. This plan includes four perio-maintenance appointments, two periodic exams, one limited exam, four bitewings, three periapical x-rays, and two fluoride treatments. It is an excellent deal for anyone who has had LANAP or scaling and root planing done, and is on a tight budget.

As an added bonus, with each of these plans include an additional 10% off treatment, sealants and fluoride if paid in full! Also, with the individual plan and the family plan, fluoride is free of charge for patients under the age of 14.

These plans cannot be combined with insurance, but with the rates that they are at, there is no need! If you have any questions or would like to sign up for these plans, please call 920.235.3251

Are cavities contagious?

Yes! Tooth decay is indeed contagious. Because there is bacteria in the tooth decay, it can be passed between people, similar to a bad cold.

Sugar is a big culprit for causing cavities, but they're also caused by certain types of bacteria. These bacterias release acids that break down the hard enamel on the outside of the teeth causing holes, better known as cavities. This bacteria can easily be passed by kissing, sharing food or even sharing silverware.

Another interesting fact, children are not just born with cavities. More often than not, cavities are passed to them from their parents or care givers. As long as the mom or dad have good oral health, their children should have good oral health too.

There are ways to avoid passing cavities from one to another, for example, if you drop a pacifier, do not put it in your mouth to clean it off and then place it in your child's mouth. Rather go to a restroom to clean it. A few more ways include avoiding sharing utensils, avoid kissing baby's lips, not sharing tooth brushes or even avoid pre-chewing food for youngsters if you do not have proper utensils to prepare it.

The best way to avoid cavities is by practicing good oral health. Brushing and flossing at least two times a day, and if you eat more acidic food adding an extra brushing afterward wouldn't hurt. Keep these tips in mind to help your children practice good oral health too!

Sensitive tooth after treatment?

Sometimes patients have sensitivity after having a filling or a crown done and we want you to know this is normal. Once the treatment is completed,the patient is asked if everything feels normal. Since patients are typically numb, it can be hard to tell if the bite feels normal or natural. To help combat this the Doctor always uses a bite marking piece of paper to be sure your bite is normal. However, sometimes it takes for the numbing to wear off before the patient notices it doesn't feel right and they're having sensitivity in that area. This means the patient needs to come back for an adjustment on that tooth to make sure the filling isn't too high, causing aching.

If several adjustments are made and the tooth is still causing sensitivity there may be something else going on with the tooth. Sometimes if a really large filling was placed, the tooth may actually need a crown. If a crown was placed, an x-ray may need to be taken to make sure the tooth is healthy. If the tooth is not healthy, it may need a root canal. Prior to recommending a root canal, Glacier Dental will try/recommend other options to help with the sensitivity.

If you are experiencing tooth sensitivity after an appointment, please do not hesitate to call our office at 920-235-3251 for a free adjustment appointment. We want to be sure you are as comfortable as possible!
