Shelley Has Been with Bomstad Dental Since 1990!
Longevity is one of the reasons why Bomstad Dental is such a special place, and Shelley certainly makes the office special. Talk about longevity, she has been at Bomstad Dental since 1990! She started her career assisting Dr. Hatcher and currently assists Dr. Karban. When she's not assisting, you can see Shelley's smiling face at the front desk. Shelley plays an integral role keeping the office running smoothly. Not only is Shelley a true dental professional, but she is our resident travel professional as well! She has traveled extensively throughout Mexico, as well as Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Shelley's favorite location is Jamaica because of the water color and clarity, but her favorite memory came in Ixtapa. In Ixtapa, her husband may have ended up with bidet water in his face-I guess you shouldn't push buttons if you don't know what they do?! Oh, Lawrence! Shelley is currently enjoying Mazatlán with her family. Although we have been spoiled by the weather this … [Read more...]
Crochet Thread Easter Eggs
Crochet Thread Easter Eggs are an adorable craft you can do with your kids this time of year. We made these as a family over 10 years ago! It's hard to believe something so simple could last so long. Here are the supplies you will need: Balloons Crochet Thread 3 cups of granulated sugar 1 cup of water Lace/Ribbon/Decorations Blow up your balloon to the size you desire, wrap the crochet thread around the balloon in all different directions. You will need 1 spool of thread for each balloon. Don't worry about tying down the ends, the sugary mix will hold them in place. This can be difficult to start for little hands, so some assistance may be required. Once you have finished wrapping your balloon, boil the water and sugar. You will want to place your egg on a little bowl/ramekin/cut paper towel roll with a cookie sheet underneath to catch the drippings. When the mixture cools a bit, spoon it onto the thread. Your little ones will love using their … [Read more...]
February is National Children’s Dental Health Month
Reports show students miss 51 million hours of school due to oral health problems every year. This is why February is National Children's Dental Health month. We are encouraging parents to teach their children to brush their teeth for 2 minutes, twice a day. We suggest brushing your teeth with your child to help reinforce the importance of tooth brushing, after all they imitate everything you do! It is also important to teach them how to properly floss their teeth. Flossing is often overlooked, but is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth. Regular dental check ups are also important. Your child should have their teeth cleaned by a professional hygienist twice a year. Diet is an integral part of dental health care too. Sugary sweets should be kept to a minimum. An item often overlooked by parents are fruit snacks and other sticky substances, like gummy vitamins. Not only do fruit snacks have little nutritional value, but they stick to your child's teeth … [Read more...]

This also wears down the protective layer of your teeth, making the nerves more accessible. You are a tooth grinder. Grinding your teeth wears down your enamel, eventually exposing your hollow tubes that lead to your nerves. Dr. Bomstad and Dr. Karban can help you with grinding by making you a custom bite guard. You use tooth-whitening toothpaste. Tooth-whitening toothpaste contains chemicals that can make your teeth more sensitive. You use a lot of mouthwash.
