Trouble getting your kids to brush? No More!

How many of us struggle getting our kids to brush for a full two minutes? As a parent of a large family, it was constantly a wrestle.  That is, until I I began my kids on the Disney Magic Timer Toothbrush App.  The Disney Magic Toothbrush Timer App is a free download for Apple and Android Devices.  It makes tooth-brushing fun for the kids while directing their brushing efforts in the correct quadrant of their mouths.  They can even scan in their Oral B toothbrush to see a light-saber fight or a scene from a favorite Disney movie, depending on the toothbrush they have.   It keeps track of their brushing frequency and gives them awards and stickers along the way.  
My kids love this app!  I have no trouble getting them to brush 2 minutes.  Instead, they want to brush 3 or 4 times to see their siblings character and movie scene and be a part of their tooth-brush experience.  It's hard to get them to stop brushing!  Our final solution was to create one character with the name "Good-Brusher" and have them all brush at the same time using that profile.  We don't always use the app but if the kids ever need some fun extra motivation, the Disney Magic Timer Toothbrush App is sure to do the trick.

    Awesome app. I am having a hard time encouraging my child to brush her teeth and thinking that she have sensitive teeth. I am looking for sedation dentistry in Chandler AZ for a check-up. My friends are recommending https://timberfallspediatricdentistry.com/. Do you know any from Chandler so that I have other options? Thanks in advance.

I love baby teeth

It is always exciting for me to see a baby's first tooth.  There is just something so cute and special about their little smile when those first teeth come in.  And before too long they are all grown up and those little teeth are gone! Awww :( The best time to have baby's first professional dental check-up is typically 6 months after the first tooth comes in.  Since the first tooth comes in around 6-10 months in age, this puts the kids at a little over a year old when they have their first visit.  Their visit is a happy time when we look and see how things are progressing. We evaluate the developing jaw, gums and teeth and look for any potential problems.  These visits are invaluable when there is something discovered that could be benefited by early intervention. Cleanings are typically done beginning at the age of 3. We have seen many conditions in children where early discovery was paramount, i.e. tongue-ties, baby-bottle tooth decay, early childhood cavities, mouths bein

Getting a whiter smile

Are you looking for a whiter smile?  Schedule in for a complimentary appointment with us.  We will take the time to assess your smile and review all of the whitening options with you.  We will examine your mouth and give you a personalized whitening solution. Let's face it: everyone of us sees a lot of marketing steered towards us in the whitening department.  Many toothpastes, rinses and strips come with a claim to whiten our teeth.  Yet not all of the products with the marketing hype yield the results claimed. For instance, did you know whitening toothpastes work to remove stains on the surface of the teeth, and that is their claim to whitening?  They do not actually bleach the tooth or change its actual color.  They are merely removing stains and build-up. Other over the counter products that claim to whiten teeth by many shades may not be as effective for your mouth.  For instance, if you were to whiten a tooth with a silver filling, the tooth may actually darken.  This is b
