What are patients saying about Door Creek Dental lately?

“I wanted to drop a quick note to let you that my visit for a crown and filling today went extremely well. Both Dr. Anderson and Kayla were courteous and respectful during the procedures. As you well know I hate the dentist and avoid it like the plague. I guess it could be weird to have someone you know work on your teeth but I was very impressed with Kayla’s professionalism and attention to detail during my visit. I am friends with a few of you in the office and I appreciate that all of you are very professional and friendly during any of the procedures for myself or the kids. We’ve known each other for many years and you are aware I would not provide a compliment if it was not worthy. So, please congratulate your staff and keep up the good work!”

“I never knew going to the Dentist could be so non-traumatic. In spite of my past horrors at dentist offices of my youth, I am comfortable at this office and I have never been made to feel bad or ashamed of the poor condition of my teeth. They accept me for who I am – I like that.”

“I had the most thorough exam and cleaning I have ever had and I felt the staff were very knowledgeable.”

“I love your office and have high praise (tell friends). I trust your dental services and feel well taken care of, and am so pleased that you’ve chosen to be supportive of Dean Health. Great place to come!!”

“I never have issues when coming to this dentist. Never have any appointments been so prompt and friendly. Mary is always friendly and efficient and Dr. K. is great. I’ve always been an “anti-denti” but I do not dread coming to this dentist office. Keep up the great work!”

“I love Door Creek Dental. Everyone is super friendly, especially the receptionists. You guys do such a great job of accommodating our schedules and you even fit in myself and 2 young sons at the same time so we could all get our teeth cleaned at once!! SUPER helpful for our busy family!”

“What should I do if my child has a toothache?”


Toothaches occur when the nerve root of a tooth is irritated and can be caused by an infection, gum disease, decay (cavities), or injury. If your child complains of a toothache, rinse his or her mouth with warm water and inspect the teeth to be sure there is nothing caught between them. If pain continues, use a cold compress to ease the pain. Do not apply heat or any kind of aspirin or topical pain reliever directly to the affected area, as this can cause damage to the gums. Children’s pain relievers may be taken orally.

If the toothache persists, it is important to give us a call to determine the cause of the pain and provide relief. Immediate contact should be pursued if your child experiences:

• Pain that is not be relieved by over-the-counter drugs
• Severe pain after a tooth is pulled which may be dry socket syndrome
• Pain associated with swelling of the gums or face, or discharge around a tooth, especially if accompanied by a fever
• Broken or knocked-out teeth from an accident or injury

We hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions below or by giving us a call!
