Oklahoma City

Friday, May 25th, 2012

We at Dental Depot are so happy that our success has taken us to such wonderful places as Tulsa, Dallas, Highland Village, Phoenix, and soon Norman. But, I would like to take a moment to praise the community that made us what we are today. In my opinion, Oklahoma City is one of the greatest cities in the nation. With everything from a very successful professional basketball team (Go Thunder!) to some of the nicest people you will ever meet, OKC has it all!

Quite often when “folks from out of town” think of Oklahoma City they come up with images of cattle drives, cowboys, and farms as far as the eye can see. Well, they’re right, to a point. Oklahoma City’s history is rich with hard working men and women who roll up their sleeves to provide livestock and agriculture to those around them and beyond. In fact, Stockyards City, opened in the heart of OKC in 1910 as a public livestock market, remains today to be the largest stocker and feeder cattle market in the world.

Although OKC still has roots deep in agriculture and livestock, it has so much more to offer. Bricktown in downtown OKC, for example, seems to encompass many of the wonderful things about the city. There is amazing food, live music, street performers, horse drawn carriages, night clubs, even a campus for the American College of Music. Also, the Arts Council of Oklahoma City puts on a fantastic Festival of the Arts every year that features visual arts, culinary arts, and performing arts.

OKC is no slouch in the business field either. As a matter of fact, a very prominent national energy leader has just finished building a brand new skyscraper to add to the already majestic downtown skyline. Also, there is another national energy powerhouse with a campus to rival most others. Both do great things for the city. Not to mention a small dental practice that came up in OKC over 30 years ago that is now in 3 states and growing every year! Thank you so much Oklahoma City for being the great place that you are. You are a home to many, and the door is always open.

If any of you out there have never been, it is worth the trip; if you have, then you know exactly what I mean.

We know you have a choice when choosing a dentist or orthodontist in Oklahoma City, Midwest City, Moore, Yukon, Norman, Tulsa, Dallas, Edmond, Highland Village, and Phoenix and we thank you for making Dental Depot your partner in good oral health!

Dental Sealants

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

The most common chronic childhood disease in the United States today is tooth decay. The good news is that it is preventable. Combined with a good oral hygiene regimen, sealants have been shown to reduce tooth decay by more than 70%.
“51% of children between the ages of 6 to 11 years old have caries (cavities) in one or more of their primary teeth.” –National Health and Nutrition Examination

Sealants Can Shield Teeth from Decay

It is sometimes hard to remove food and plaque from the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, even with frequent brushing. Dental sealants are safe plastic-like materials that are painted onto the chewing surfaces of the molars or premolars. Sealants act as a protective barrier to help “seal out” germs and food that cause tooth decay.

Since tooth decay is most likely to occur shortly after teeth come into the mouth, children make great candidates for dental sealants. Because the teeth most at risk are permanent molars, we strongly recommend sealants be placed on these teeth as soon as they come in.

Sealants are Easy to Apply, Safe, and Painless

Sealants are durable and can last years before a replacement is needed. They not only help prevent tooth decay, they also help avoid restorative dental procedures in the future. Dental sealants have been used safely for more than 30 years.
Talk to your friendly Dental Depot dentist as part of your child’s overall oral care. Only you and your dentist can determine what is right for your child.
