Enjoying Too Much Halloween Candy?
Halloween was pretty perfect this year, not only did it fall on a Saturday, but we had beautiful weather too! Like most holidays, we tend to indulge a bit too much. I know I have had my fair share of sweets over the past few days. Just how many sweets have our kids had? It's extra important to make sure our kids are doing a good job brushing their teeth, especially right after Halloween. Most children do not have the dexterity to brush their teeth until 6 or 7 years old. Even then, parents need to check their children's teeth when they are done brushing. The six year molar is statistically the most restored tooth. This is part of the reason we recommend sealants for your children when their permanent teeth erupt. If your child doesn't have sealants yet, call Bomstad Dental today or click HERE. 952-938-7746 … [Read more...]
Lasers Are Cool!
There are so many benefits to your dentist having a laser. Did you know dental lasers can perform a variety of procedures that would normally require a scalpel and sutures? Lasers cause less trauma, which allow the soft tissue in your mouth to heal faster. Dr. Bomstad and Dr. Karban use the laser for gingivectomies, frenectomies, gum aesthetic re-contouring, excisional biopsies, treating cold sores, and gaining access to cavities or teeth below the gum-line. Dr. Bomstad feels having a dental laser is an essential part of his practice. Bomstad Dental strives to provide their patients with the most up-to-date and painless procedures possible, having a dental laser is a huge part of achieving this goal.

The Dental Wand is Pure Magic!
If you have never heard of a dental wand, you are missing out! The days of painful injections are over. At Bomstad Dental we believe in making your dental experience as pleasant as possible, this is why we use a dental wand. A dental wand is a small computer that aids in the delivery of anesthetic. Most patients don't feel a thing when the anesthetic is being delivered. The dental wand is light weight, affording your dentist better control when administering injections. The dental wand also warms up the anesthetic, making for a more comfortable injection. Most importantly the dental wand slowly administers the anesthetic in a controlled manner making sure your tissue is numb. The dental wand has revolutionized the dental industry, truly making for "painless dentistry". If you have been putting off dental work due to the fear of it being too painful, don't put it off any longer. Call Bomstad Dental today, 952-938-7746, or click HERE to request an appointment. … [Read more...]

Does the Type of Filling Material Matter?
Did you know there are different types of filling material used for fixing cavities? Silver amalgam and composite resin are the two different products used, but does it matter which one you get placed in your mouth? The answer is yes! At Bomstad Dental we use composite resin because of it's superior bonding ability. Not only does composite resin match the color of your tooth, unlike the "old fashion" silver fillings, but you will not lose as much tooth surface with the composite resin filling. The "old fashion" silver amalgam filling requires more tooth structure to be removed when restoring the tooth. In dentistry it is always better to keep as much original tooth structure as possible. The way composite resin fillings bond to the tooth make the tooth stronger, lessening the likelihood of fracture or breakage in the future. At Bomstad Dental we strive to provide the best dental care possible. If you have a tooth that needs to be repaired, give Dr. Bomstad or Dr. Karban a … [Read more...]

School’s About to Start, Is a Dental Check Up on Your To-Do List?
It feels like a million things need to get done before your kids head back to school. School supply shopping, clothes shopping, sports physicals, immunizations, but is a dental exam and cleaning on your list too? Dental healthcare is, unfortunately, often overlooked. 60% of children will have tooth decay by the time they start elementary school. Lack of dental healthcare can lead to bigger problems. Children with tooth decay are more likely to develop ear and sinus infections. Plus, if left unchecked, those tiny carries can turn into a much bigger problem like; root canals, crowns, extractions.
