Going to the Dentist doesn't have to feel like going to the dentist
Often when we think of preventing tooth problems our focus is only on the children. In 2008, with all Dentistry has  to offer: sealants, fluoride and nutritional advise; children AND their parents are still seeing an ever increase in the amount of dental decay.

Some simple tips:
  1. See your dentist regularly. Even you parents. (Little known fact...dental problems do not get better with time)
  2. Make sure you and your children are drinking lots of water. Fluoridated or not, water neutralizes the pH balance in the mouth. (Cavity bugs don't like neutral environments)
  3. Sugar free gum: The sweetener especially Xylatol, has been scientifically proven to KILL cavity bugs. Keep a drawer at home filled with sugar free gum. Your kids will love you for it.

You know what I hate about going to the DDS?

1) The freaky pictures all over of rotten teeth. All it does is creep me out and make me hate going, it doesn't make me want to floss any more than I already do.

2) They lecture. Even the best DDS I've ever been to (and he's REALLY great) will make you feel like a talked down to 2year old. "Now how many times a day do you brush? Are you really flossing good?" I hate the patronization that always seems to happen. I'm paying for a service, I don't want or need a lecture. Information is always great to have, but it's all in the delivery.

3) Don't tell me it's not going to hurt, then it does. HATE that!

If Pure Dentistry doesn't do any of these things... I'm booking the next apt they have!

I am sorry to hear that you have had a series of less than desirable experiences. At Pure Dentistry, Dr. Slate and his dental team customize each patient dental experience. It starts with the 1st phone call, office tour and personal one on one meeting with the doctor.

We find that most of the bad experiences can be avoided by having a good relationship with the doctor and dental team. In addition, for those who cannot stand any level of discomfort, we offer several levels of safe sedation. This can be related to as sitting in 1st class, business class or coach on an airline.

Finally, being talked down to is never acceptable in any professional situation. I find that most of the time people do more research on where their next kids birthday party is going to held than their dentist.

Have a great day!

Sounds GREAT! I've been looking for a good new DDS. I'll be calling soon! I have one I like, but he's out in Rocklin. I'm tired of the drive and have been looking for someone closer and gentle.
