Comparing toothpaste… what’s real, what’s bogus

There are really 2 criteria to consider when choosing a toothpaste, is it effective clinically and what is the aesthetic appeal. Clincal effectiveness basically means…. does it have fluoride.  Most dental types agree that if it has fluoride then it a toothpaste you should be using.  How often you brush and your attention to detail while brushing matters much more than what you squeeze on your brush…. Sorry big toothpaste manufacturing types. So of the different types of toothpaste claims, what’s real and what is bogus? Tartar Control: this is for real.  Has an ingredient that keeps tartar from forming on … Continue reading

What does “Preferred Provider” mean

Preferred Provider is a term used by the Insurance Industry to make it sound like these doctors/dentist are “better” than others.  Makes it seem that perhaps your Insurance company has graded the dentist in some way to prefer them over all the other dentists in the area. In reality, a “Preferred Provider” to a dental insurance company is a dentist that has agreed to take reduced fees in order to be on a list.  And remember that no dentist goes on a list to make less money.  It means they need more patients and they will reduce their fees to … Continue reading

Columbus Ohio Dentist With just over 30 years experience owning a private dental practice in Columbus Ohio area,  I have seen a lot of patients.  Although there are exceptions to every rule, here is my perspective on the types of dental patients.  Take the poll and see where you fall with others.

Only when it hurts – … Continue reading

Small Space Gardening for Edibles

It’s that time of year again!  It’s time to plant the vegetable garden.  Since we are in the midst of landscaping our house we have planted a raised bed mostly with herbs and lettuces but my wife planted some Sugar Snap Peas and radishes and the squirrels didn’t get all of the seeds so we have some plants growing.  We did a 1/2 plot in Wallace Gardens last year and found that it was too much work even if it was just down the street.  We smile when we drive by the Gardens now… smile because we don’t have to go … Continue reading
