    Eagle’s Premier Dentist

    How many times have you heard the following lines:

    “We strive to provide the best quality…”
    “Here at ____, we do our very best to…”
    “You can count on receiving the very best care at…”
    “We believe in honesty and quality…”

    It seems like pretty much every business will say those words in some way or another. We’ve even used the same phrases. Our point is, how do you truly know who provides the best quality and the fairest price? The short answer is, probably a lot of establishments. But the long answer is that it takes a little research and dedication.

    People say that you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, but that’s basically what the internet encourages. We look a brief snapshot of a business, whether it be a restaurant, bank, hotel, etc., and we judge it. We all have different tactics. Many include glancing at the pictures or logos, looking at where they’re located, and maybe checking out a few reviews.

    We’d like to cut through all of that white noise at Eagle Dental Care. We do believe that we are Eagle’s premier dentistry location. But we’re not going to pitch you on our quality or our website, we want you to come check things out for yourself. Come meet Dr. Thomason and see if he’d be a good fit for you and your family.

    We can tell you all day long that we are the premier dentist office in the greater Boise area. We can tell you all day long that we offer the highest quality and have the best doctor and staff, and so on and so forth. But at the end of the day, none of that matters unless you actually feel that way.

  • What Causes A Toothache?

    What Causes A Toothache?

    Having a toothache is absolutely no fun. It can be made a little tougher as well if you don’t know what’s causing it. You might feel a dull pain, soreness, or ache and you tooth could be sensitive to temperature or certain foods, painful when chewing or biting, or it might even be accompanied by a sharp pain. None of which are enjoyable.

    Figuring Out The Cause Of The Toothache

    We have many different methods we use to determine the cause of a toothache. We’ll ask you several questions like: Is it sensitive to cold or heat? Does it hurt to eat? Has it woken you up in the middle of the night? These help us narrow down the possible causes of a toothache.

    We might also take x-rays to check for abscesses, cavities, or other hidden problems.

    Some other tests might include a percussion test where we’ll gently tap on areas of the tooth or surrounding teeth to help identify the precise location of the pain. A biting pressure test, which can be used to pinpoint what area of the tooth is causing the pain. The cold air test uses a stream of cold air blown directly on the tooth to figure out where the sensitivity is coming from.

    Once we figure out the cause of the toothache, we’ll take the appropriate steps to correct it and get you feeling better, whether that is through medication or an immediate procedure. If left untreated, toothaches will get more painful over time, so we strongly encourage immediate action.

  • Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

    Maybe you’ve read an article on the internet? Maybe you’ve talked to a friend who’s had a bad experience? Or perhaps you’re just skeptical by nature. Whatever the reason, the question remains the same: Is teeth whitening safe?

    Is teeth whitening safe? Yes. Yes it is.

    Here at Eagle Dental Care, we proudly offer KöR Whitening, a system that works by restoring your teeth’s youthful ability to absorb oxygen. But before we dive into the details as to why we like this method, let’s talk about how it works. And let’s answer the question: Is teeth whitening safe?

    How Teeth Whitening Works

    The oxygen from the whitening gel is absorbed into the tooth, dissolving and removing stain molecules. Most patients have no discomfort from whitening and have amazing, long lasting results. We have found KöR Whitening to be the gentlest and best whitening system available. So to first answer your question.

    Q: Is teething whitening safe?

    A: Yes. Yes it is.

    Kor Whitening’s gel is formulated to be highly effective, yet gentle to avoid causing teeth sensitivity. This unique formula is kept at cool temperatures at all times to maintain its precisely calibrated potency.

    The secret to this whitening system is to restore your teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen. This allows the oxygen from the whitening gel to be absorbed deeply into your tooth allowing it to break up and clear stains and dark spots.

    You will receive a mouth tray designed to fit you, and a plan to apply the gel that will allow for exceptional results. Possibly getting 16 shades whiter!

    For long lasting and exceptional results, teeth whitening requires a thorough cleaning so that the high-potency gels will make unobstructed contact with your enamel. The gels have been specially formulated to remove stains, without causing discomfort or increased sensitivity to your teeth. After decades of clinical treatment, teeth whitening has proven to be a safe and effective way to brighten your smile!

    So, I guess you could say that teeth whitening is safe. Especially when using
    KöR Whitening.
