“I am notoriously afraid of doctor’s, especially dentists. I hadn’t been to a dentist in years before I came upon Carp Dental. Wow! What a difference having a knowledgeable, compassionate, and gentle dentist makes. Dr. Carp and his staff were so efficient and calming that I couldn’t believe I was done with my visit that quickly and without any pain. They now have a patient for life!”

Do you think you only need a check up once a year? That may be a mistake. After your next visit, ask your dentist how often you should have a check-up. Simple, regular check-ups using fluoride and/or the sealing of small pits in the enamel of your teeth may severely limit your chances of tooth decay and other more serious and painful problems.

Do you love Gummy Bears, Swedish Fish and other sticky treats? We do too! But, eating sticky or dry foods that remain on your teeth increases the risk of cavity development. So, if you can’t eat healthy all the time, remember to brush your teeth after each meal. It will significantly decrease your risk of cavities!

We realize that flossing can be a pain but it is very important if you want to have a healthy smile and odorless breath! Try to use dental floss at least once a day to remove harmful plaque and left over food from between your teeth. In addition to flossing, regular brushing with a soft brush will prevent gum disease, which causes bad breath and can lead to loss of teeth.
