Educating your patients on the benefits of a healthy mouth and healthy body can give them a better quality of life and, in some cases, save their lives.

Does everyone in your office truly understand why certain clinical decisions are made? For example, why would we do a crown instead of a two or three surface restoration? Scaling and root planing instead of a prophy? Do an endo in-house instead of referring? It’s something we might not think about too much, but every single person on our team (yes, front office people too) will benefit by having the office “clinically calibrated.” Best of all, it will end tons of confusion with

Some people never get wisdom teeth, but those who do usually get them between 17 and 25. No matter when they erupt, your doctor may recommend wisdom teeth removal for various reasons, including impaction, misalignment, tight spacing, and decay. If your dentist has suggested removing your wisdom teeth, there is no need to panic. While wisdom tooth extraction is considered surgery, it is performed safely every day in offices across Blackburn.
