Learn How Easy Preventing Tooth Decay Can Be!

We want to help you get the most out of your dental care. Let us help you help your family smile healthy! The following are some basic tips on how to improve your oral health. Call us to set up a visit to complete the picture of lifelong smile health!

Most children (and even many adults!) can have difficulty doing a good job of brushing their teeth. Even diligent brushing may not reach the deep grooves in the back teeth. Our solution? We offer dental sealants for children as a barrier against tooth decay.

How do dental sealants work?

• First we clean and sterilize the tooth or teeth (usually a set of molars is done at the same time).

• Then we apply a thin plastic coating that is white or clear, so it’s almost invisible.

• With the application of a curing light, the sealant is bonded into place.

• From beginning to end, the procedure takes just a few minutes.

• With no shots, drills, or changes to the structure of the tooth, it’s totally painless!


Applying dental sealants is one of the best preventive things both children and adolescents can do to preserve their natural teeth!

Healthy smiles for your entire family! Call us to schedule your child's next visit.

Gum Health Is Vital

Gum Disease Can Mean Lost Teeth

It’s the LEADING cause of tooth loss in adults!

Yes, periodontal disease, aka gum disease, more than decay, is the primary cause of lost teeth. Since it can be completely painless in early and moderate stages, many people don’t know they have it until they begin losing teeth.

Symptoms include bleeding gums when you brush or floss and loose or shifting teeth. If you’ve been told you need gum surgery, you will be glad to know that Dr. Johnny Hopp can help you control control gum disease with a variety of non-surgical methods.

Gum Disease Goes Beyond Missing Teeth

The statistics are staggering. The American Dental Association estimates that 8 out of 10 Americans have periodontal (gum) disease. At that rate, afflictions such as AIDS or tuberculosis would be considered epidemic. Most dentists do, in fact, consider gum disease at an epidemic level.

But the biggest consequence was believed to be lost teeth. Hardly pleasant, but not life threatening. Or is it? Recent medical research has linked gum disease, stroke, and heart disease. Since heart disease can be fatal, gum disease is obviously a serious matter.

The American Academy of Periodontology reports: “studies found periodontal infection may contribute to the development of heart disease, increase the risk of premature, underweight births, and pose a serious threat to people whose health is already compromised due to diabetes and respiratory diseases.”

Periodontal disease is characterized by bacterial infection of the gums. These bacteria can travel into the bloodstream – straight to the heart.

Thankfully, Gum Disease Can Be Successfully Treated!

Gum surgery is the best treatment for advanced periodontal disease, and is usually covered by common dental insurance plans. When periodontal disease is in earlier stages, there are very effective NON-surgical procedures.

When those procedures are coupled with improved dental hygiene, can virtually halt the spread of the disease. This, too, is usually covered under most dental insurance plans.

Why Missing Teeth Are Very Problematic

Gum disease and/or decay are the leading cause of lost teeth, though most people would expect accidents or other trauma to be at the top of the list. But even though losing a tooth isn’t life-threatening, even a single missing tooth can cause the other teeth to shift and move around, with unpleasant consequences.

Tooth loss can affect chewing and your ability to absorb nutrients from your food. Other bad things can happen: your face will change shape, often looking “sunken.”

This can make you look much older than you really are. Your speech can be affected. Because it’s harder to chew with missing teeth, you may find yourself favoring softer foods and more carbohydrates, which can cause you to gain weight.

The best way to treat a missing tooth (or missing teeth) is with dental implants. An implant can replace one tooth or many. They can be made to look so natural that even a dentist has to look hard to tell the difference.

The BEAUTY of DENTAL BONDING

–– ART And SCIENCE of DENTISTRY

Bonding is one of the most affordable & versatile cosmetic dental treatments available. During a dental bonding procedure, Dr. Klym uses a special porcelain resin to reshape & repair teeth. This resin or bonding material adheres to the existing tooth enamel.

Bonding is used to restore decayed cracked, or chipped teeth, improve the appearance of stained teeth, change teeth shape, or close spaces between gapped teeth. Consider dental bonding to improve the overall appearance of your smile.
