How To Keep Your Teeth Healthy This Halloween

It is hard to believe that Halloween is right around the corner! If you celebrate this spooky holiday, you are likely already attending parties and getting ready for the big day. One aspect of this Halloween that always gives us a fright is the large amount of candy available. We want to share some helpful tips to avoid any dental problems or emergencies this Halloween:

What Is a Root Canal?

We Can Save Your Teeth

At Bozeman Gentle Dentistry, one of our main goals is to do everything we can to save your natural teeth. Our teeth are designed to last a lifetime, but sometimes that is not possible. Whether you experience recurring decay or an injury that damages the health of your tooth, we offer a treatment that can restore your tooth before an extraction is needed. One treatment that we may perform is a root canal.

First Visit to the Dentist

Preparing Your Child For Their First Visit To The Dentist

At Bozeman Gentle Dentistry, we are happy to provide dental care to everyone in your family, from the youngest member to the oldest. Do you have a young child in your life and you’re unsure when it is time to visit the dentist for their first appointment? We typically tell parents that children should visit the dentist when their teeth begin to emerge or around their first birthday. If the child in your life is older and has yet to see the dentist, there is no time like the present to schedule their first appointment. We know it can be a little intimidating for children to visit the dentist for the first time, so we want to share some helpful tips.

Read on to learn more about the importance of receiving routine oral hygiene examinations.

Dental Anxiety

Dr. Cassandra Murphy Can Help You Manage Your Dental Anxiety

At Bozeman Gentle Dentistry, we are passionate about patients getting the dental care they need in a comfortable and relaxing environment. Dr. Cassandra Murphy understands that many people have varying ranges of emotions about visiting the dentist and receiving treatment. Some people are slightly nervous, while others experience severe fear. We want each and every patient to know that their feelings matter and are valid. We are here to help you overcome your fears so you can get the dental treatment you need and deserve.

Your dental health is a key part of your overall health

What is Holistic Dentistry?

At Bozeman Gentle Dentistry, we practice holistic dentistry because we believe that your dental health is a key part of your overall health. We are unlike other dental practices in that we don’t feel that your mouth is separate from your body and treat it as such. Dr. Murphy believes that you cannot treat one part of the body, such as your mouth, without considering your overall health and the factors that are contributing to your issues. We understand that the mouth and the body are connected, and, in many ways, what is happening in your mouth relates to what is occurring in your body and vice versa. Although it may take a longer time to solve the issue, each patient will come away better informed, more empowered, and in total control of their health.
