3 Bad Oral Health Habits That Can Harm Your Child’s Teeth

February 15, 2023

At Today’s Dental Comfort, we want the best oral health for all of our patients, young and old. This is one of the reasons we stress routine oral hygiene appointments. However, most of the responsibility for your oral care falls on your shoulders. We know that our adult patients are able to care for their teeth on their own, but children need assistance in caring for their teeth at home. There are some habits that can negatively affect your children’s teeth and can impact the future of their oral health.

Are Your Teeth Too Sensitive?

February 1, 2023

Do you find yourself tensing from discomfort in your teeth after eating ice cream? You may also notice this reaction if you drink something hot, such as coffee, and then immediately eat something cold, such as cereal with milk. When this occurs, you are experiencing tooth sensitivity. It is not uncommon to experience sensitivity from time to time, especially following certain dental treatments; however, when sensitivity is recurring, you may have a problem with your oral health and need to visit our office. In the meantime, we want to share some tips to help lessen the effects of tooth sensitivity issues.

Are Bleeding Gums Cause For Concern?

January 15, 2023

Have you noticed signs of pink or red when you floss or brush your teeth? If so, that is an indication you are experiencing bleeding gums. Almost everyone experiences bleeding gums from time to time, especially if food becomes trapped between the teeth or you brush and floss a little too vigorously. It is important to contact us at Today’s Dental Comfort if you notice your gums bleed frequently, as that can indicate an issue with your gums and overall oral health.

What Causes Damage To Your Tooth Enamel?

October 15, 2022

Would you believe that your tooth enamel is the strongest substance in your body? It makes sense that tooth enamel, the outer covering of your teeth, is the strongest substance in your body because it is used constantly. We eat numerous times a day, and our teeth are designed to withstand the abuse of chewing and biting. However, tooth enamel is not indestructible and can become damaged when not cared for properly.

How Food Habits Affect Oral Health

September 15, 2022

There is the popular saying, “You are what you eat”. While it typically refers to the food you consume and how it affects your body, many people forget the effect your food choices and habits can have on your oral health. Your mouth is the gateway to your body, and everything you consume has to pass through your mouth. Each time you eat, there are food particles and bacteria that linger in your mouth, eventually turning to plaque. Your food choices and habits can greatly impact the level of bacteria in your mouth, leading to an increased risk of decay and other issues.

Are You Nervous?

September 1, 2022

Do you experience nerves before you visit our office? If so, you are not alone. Many patients experience some form of anxiety or fear before they visit the dentist. Our concern is when your feelings are keeping you from receiving the dental care you need to ensure you have proper oral health. Delaying routine dental appointments and recommended treatments can lead to additional decay, the need for more treatments, and dental emergencies. We want to share some helpful tips to help you relax before your appointment and while you are in our office. Read on to learn more.

National Tooth Fairy Day

August 15, 2022

If you are thinking there are no special days to celebrate this August, we are here to tell you that you are wrong. While there are no major holidays this month, there is one special day that your children may be interested in learning more about — National Tooth Fairy Day! This special day is actually recognized twice a year, on August 22nd and February 28th. It is a day that celebrates young children losing their baby teeth and the special fairy who collects the teeth and leaves behind something special. Celebrating twice a year is significant because it’s a reminder that it is important for children to maintain routine oral hygiene examinations and cleanings with a dentist every six months.

Why Routine Care Is So Important

August 1, 2022

For many years, you have learned about the importance of maintaining a routine oral hygiene regimen. Many of our patients have been learning about proper brushing habits since their elementary school days. Even with all this oral hygiene education, we still see a number of patients who are not caring for their teeth properly. A lack of proper oral care can lead to regular dental decay as well as the development of conditions such as gum disease. Continue reading to learn more.

Our team will evaluate your situation and make a recommendation based on your needs, lifestyle and budget. One of our top recommendations is always dental implants due to the many benefits they offer to patients.

Aftercare Is Important!

July 1, 2022

Do you have an upcoming treatment appointment or do you need to schedule a treatment that we recommended during your last visit? From the time of our youth, we have learned about the importance of following directions. The same applies to directions that we give following the completion of treatment. Whether you have a treatment appointment scheduled relatively soon or you are expecting to need a treatment in the near future, we want to share the importance of following our post-treatment care instructions. Continue reading to learn about the complications you may experience if you don’t follow our instructions.

Can Medications Affect Oral Health?

June 15, 2022

When we are prescribed medication, many times, we are thinking about the relief it will bring or how it may improve or lengthen our lives. Most people do not immediately think about the effect it can have on their oral health. We want to raise awareness about the fact that many medications, prescribed and over-the-counter, can have lasting effects on your teeth and mouth that can seriously impact the future of your oral health. Here are some of the common side effects as well as some tips to help your oral health:

Great experience for sure!! Highly recommended.

Bailey Agusti

I had my first visit today and I was so pleased! I am a very picky person when it comes to health care and these folks more than met my expectations. The staff is friendly yet professional. You are made to feel comfortable, not rushed, and most importantly are part of the treatment plan decision making team. You are offered all of the best treatment options and can pick the ones that work for you. No pressure or judgment. I so appreciate that!

Roy Connell

Kerstin Crane

Very professional and trustworthy

Joseph Brown

First time there. Feel like I found my all-in-one dentist! Super friendly and down to earth from the office staff to techs and docs.

UPDATE 10/13/25
With the money out of pocket we all have to pay for an implant, let alone multiple, one expects a certain level of attention and communication. This review has nothing to do with the expertise and personality of my dentist there because he has been fantastic. I know this is not his mistake at all.

But I will be adding to and withholding my final review and will give a final edit at that time. The lab they use for crowns has cost me two vacation days. Was supposed to come in Oct 6th. That was canceled because implant crowns were not ready. Received another cancellation/reschudule 2 hours before my appointment at 2PM today, October 13th. Also canceled/rescheduled for another week. I will find out the lab they use tomorrow. Implants are not cheap anywhere you go but something got messed up and one deserves a higher level of coordination throughout the entire team at Today's Dental Comfort in Burton, MI.

John Lipp

I would highly recommend Today's Dental Comfort. Excellent service and care with an outstanding staff.

TOP NOTCH DENTAL CARE! I have found a new dentist and I couldn’t be happier! Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. The dental technician was very thorough, gentle and asked me if I was comfortable many times. I had not been to the dentist is a long time due to a previous terrible experience and I am just so happy to have found this practice.
They offer a wonderful dental insurance program that is $30 a month. Please go see them soon if you’ve been hesitant on going to the dentist. Highly recommended !
