Top 5 FAQ
Q: What is the best way to take care of my teeth?
A: You should brush your teeth twice a day for a minimum of 2 minutes each time you brush. You should also floss daily. Remember that the toothbrush does the cleaning so brush all sides of each tooth. Also, don't forget to brush your tongue or your breath will not smell too sweet!

Q: Why do I need a cleaning every 6 months?
A: There are certain bacteria that become hard on your teeth and you cannot brush them off. They need to be scraped off or polished off with special instruments that the dental office has. If you let them stay on your teeth, then your teeth will become weaker. The ADA recommends that a person should have a cleaning at least every 6 months to maintain optimal oral health.

Q: What type of problems does Cosmetic Dentistry solve?
A: Some people have crooked front teeth or stains on their teeth that won't come off. Veneers are a way to hide these stains and to reshape your front teeth. The dentist removes a small amount of tooth and cements on a veneer (about the thickness of a fake fingernail but much stronger).

Q: Why do I need this procedure?
A: Dr. Lorscheider feels it is very important to explain in the simplist of terms why a procedure is needed. He uses digital x-rays and even has an intra-oral camera to show the cracks or chips in your tooth on the television!

Q: Is it going to hurt?
A: Dr. Lorscheider is very gentle and very aware that going to the dental office can be scary. He makes it as pain-free as possible and has many ways of keeping your mind off what is going on in your mouth. There are movies ot watch or music tolisten to. We even have the laughing gas fo ryou just to make you feel more relaxed. Dentistry is much more pain-free than it was even a decade ago. Our desire is to make your time at the dental office go by as quickly as possible with as little pain as possible.
