Getting to Know Your Dentist.

If you think about it having a comfortable and strong relationship with your dentist and his/her associates is extremely important.  You would not trust your family’s dental health to just anyone would you?  The people that clean your teeth and assist the doctors should be hard working professionals with a strong dental background.

Doctor David Blackman, Dr. Kothari, and Dr. Eric Osmolinski have never been prouder of any group of assistants than they are with this group.  Somewhere along the way you will meet Heather, and Betty.  You also will have the opportunity to have hygienists Liz and Ashley work on you and your kid’s teeth.  And don’t forget Laura, Missy, and Kathy who round out the team.

Yes indeed, anyone with a license can open up a dental practice, but choosing whom to surround yourself with is what it’s all about.  Those of us lucky enough to live in the Chicago suburbs of Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, Wheaton, and the surrounding area just need to make an appointment at the 400 N. Gary Ave. office of Dr. David Blackman by calling (630) 260-1700.

A New Round of Dental Insurance.

The free money is here, the free money is here.  If you are fortunate enough to have dental insurance you probably know that every year the insurance “turns over”.  That means you have full new amount for 2017 just waiting to be used.  How about that?!  Can you think of another type of insurance that starts with a fresh batch of money every year?

What in the world are you waiting for?  It doesn’t matter if you just need a thorough cleaning and a check up or if all of those holiday treats have caused a toothache or two.  This is most definitely the time to call your dentist and make an appointment to start taking advantage of that insurance money you are entitled to.  It WILL go to waste if you don’t!

Dr. David Blackman, DDS has been serving the communities of Carol Stream, Wheaton, and Bloomingdale for more than three decades.  If you need a great full-service dentist today, featuring an incredible staff of associates, call his office for an appointment at their 400 North Gary Ave. location in Carol Stream at (630) 260-1700 and grin your way right through 2017!

Moderate those Holiday Treats.

Bah, humbug…I want another tasty treat.  No, not that fruit cake from Aunt Ruth.  There are so many sweet and tasty temptations during this Holiday Season.  It takes a little discipline, but if you can moderate your intake you will save yourself some grief in the New Year.  Think of your bathroom scale as well as that beautiful smile you have worked on all year.

Go ahead, indulge a little just remember to stay faithful to the basics.  Would it hurt you to brush a little more often or floss more than twice a day?  Go on, you can do it!  Now just in case you experience a toothache make sure that you take it seriously.  This is not just something that will go away on January 1st.  Get to your favorite Chicagoland dentist to have it taken care of.

Dr. David Blackman DDS serves the communities of Carol Stream, Wheaton, and Bloomingdale.  He and his amazing staff are there to help with routine dental visits to more serious emergencies.  If you need a great full-service dentist today or in 2017 call his office located at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream  (630) 260-1700 and smile, smile, smile!

Last Call for Dental Insurance.

I want to know who decided that.  Does your homeowners insurance expire at the end of the year?  How about your car insurance?  If YOU don’t expire does your life insurance do so at year’s end?  Of course they don’t!  None of that makes any sense.  Why does dental insurance NOT roll over into 2017?  It is one of life’s great mysteries.

You can’t fight it.  You must react to the reality of it all.  If you don’t use your remaining 2016 dental insurance money by December 31st it will not accrue into the New Year.  It is just that simple.  Why would you squander a perfectly good opportunity to get your teeth or your family’s mouths checked by the end of the year?

We know that you are busy during the holidays, but you are not in the habit of wasting money.  Make an appointment today with your Carol Stream area family dentist for a check-up.  If you live in the Wheaton, Bloomingdale, or Carol Stream area call (630) 260-1700 and save yourself a ton of dough just before they play Auld Lang Syne.

Holiday Dental Check-up.

This is an excellent time to beat the end of the year holiday rush to get that bi-annual dental check-up.  I know that there are several things on your list that you may feel take precedence over that.  Trust me, if you put it off now then you may procrastinate altogether.  This is an error in judgement that you don’t want to make.  Stay on schedule and preserve your smile!

By making an appointment in early November you will be fresh and clean throughout the holidays.  IF you need further dental care then you can get it done in 2016.  For many Chicagoans that could mean a great deal as far as dental insurance goes.  A healthy, beautiful smile knows no season, but let’s be honest you will probably be eating more good/bad stuff in the next two months.

Dr. David Blackman DDS serves the communities of Carol Stream, Wheaton, and Bloomingdale.  Best of all, he has been doing so effectively for over 30 years.  You’ll be comforted to know that he has never had a better group of assistants in his 3 decades!  Make an appointment for a fall/winter cleaning today at his office located at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream by calling (630) 260-1700.

A Dental Tip for All Athletes.

Whether you play offense or defense or both in your chosen sport(s) here is something that all athletes should do.  Defend your Smile!  A good sports mouth guard is an essential part of any sports uniform.  It matters not whether you play contact or non-contact sports.  If you have heard of the “boil-and-bite” mouth guard you know that may NOT be enough.

The American Dental Association reported that athletes without proper mouth guards are SIXTY times more likely to suffer harm to their teeth.  About half of all adolescents will suffer an injury to the mouth.  Of those, about one-third of them are sports related.  This is why you must strongly consider a custom-fitted sports mouth guard that is customized just for your athlete(s). 

Dr. David Blackman DDS fabricates custom-fit mouth guards for as little as $60.   For an additional $20 you can add the name and number to the guard!   His office serves the communities of Carol Stream, Wheaton, Bloomingdale and the surrounding area.  Make an appointment for a custom athletic mouth guard at his office located at 400 North Gary Ave. in Carol Stream by calling (630) 260-1700.
