Toothpaste just isn’t toothpaste anymore.  In today’s market, toothpastes containing many different types of ingredients, which can help reduce sensitivity, gingivitis, tartar build-up and some even claim to help whiten teeth.  But the consumer has to be wary of the toothpaste they are using.  Some can be too abrasive to the teeth or start causing sensitivity.  At Prehn Dental, we like to offer some simple guidelines to follow when selecting toothpaste.   1.                  Always look for toothpaste that contains fluoride (fluoride helps to reduce cavities and sensitivity). 2.                  Use toothpaste that has a pleasing flavor to you.  (If it doesn’t taste good, you won’t use it). 3.           &nbs

As we all know, insurance can be a bit overwhelming.  Explanation of benefits (EOB’s) can also be difficult to understand.  At Prehn Dental, we take pride in the fact that we are meticulous when it comes to submitting claims on behalf of our patients.  We will go the extra mile to insure that your claim is processed correctly.  If claims are denied, in most cases we will appeal the decision with a letter from Dr. Prehn along with needed photos, x-rays or clinical notes so that the Review Board has a total understanding of why the dental work was necessary.  We have had patients compliment us on going “above and beyond” to help them obtain the coverage for claims we have submitted—after all, our patients pay their monthly premiums and deserve to have their claims processed correctly to insure as much coverage as possible.  Obviously, dental insurance may not pay 100% of your claim but any coverage is better than none!   For ou
