To Our Valued Patients at Surprise Smiles,

Welcome! We are open, looking forward to seeing returning patients, accepting new patients, and operating under normal business hours! The Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDS) is still not recommending any type of closures or modification in hours. We will continue to monitor information coming from both the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and AZDHS and keep you apprised of any changes or updates. We will stay on top of this information and bring it to you as soon as possible through our website, email, and social media.

As we continue to navigate through the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, our dentists and dental team want to assure you that we are continuing to do our best to make sure it a priority that we are following the latest health and safety guidelines from the CDC, specifically as they relate to the dental industry. We value keeping our patients and staff members safe and comfortable.

As part of our daily standard health and safety protocols, our office follows ‘Universal Precautions’ in order to protect our patients and our staff. These are precautions we have always taken, and are not new. By taking ‘universal precautions’ means we always assume that anyone could potentially be carrying a contagious and dangerous disease. We therefore follow strict guidelines to prevent the transmission of any potential disease, be it COVID-19 (Coronavirus), hepatitis, tuberculosis, HIV, or any other disease. This has been a standard of care we follow, per the CDC, in regard to blood borne pathogens.

These measures include:
•  strict hand washing protocols
•  use of (single use) disposable protective equipment and barriers
•  thorough disinfection of exposed or potentially exposed surfaces after every patient visit
•  disinfection and high-heat steam sterilization of instruments and routine monitoring of sterilization verification
•  continued education on infection control

•  disinfecting common surface areas every 30 minutes
•  providing hand sanitizer in common areas
•  screening everyone who enters our offices based on CDC recommendations
•  offering preprocedural mouth rinse

As state and national health and safety regulations change and evolve during these times, Surprise Smiles is dedicated to monitoring and evaluating our dental practice and office space for any potential risks as we serve our patients and community. We strive to maintain an approach to our dentistry services that is both safe and beneficial to everyone we serve.

We strive to provide a safe, healthy, comfortable, and relaxed environment for everyone that comes into our dental office. We follow the American Dental Association’s Update to Office Procedures During COVID-19 in regard to safe office procedures, workplace hazards, and making decisions for best office practices. We stay informed on recent information given to dentists in this regard, as well as keeping up to date with any changes recommended by the CDC.

Please let us know if you have any questions in regard to our health and safety protocols here at Surprise Smiles. We recognize that it can be challenging during these unprecedented times of COVID-19. We all want to get back to our normal lives, and we will be able to do so, in a safe, wise, and healthy manner. We will be happy to answer any questions that you may have in regard to our dental practice health and safety protocols, cleaning, and disinfecting procedures we follow.

Thank you for continuing to be a valued patient here at Bradshaw Family Dental. We look forward to continuing to serve you and your dental needs through the various services we provide for you, from preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, pediatric dentistry, sedation dentistry, dental implants and more!

Does the Brand Matter When Buying Oral Healthcare Products?
Posted on 11/10/2018 by Dr. Andrew Zeiger
Does the Brand Matter When Buying Oral Healthcare Products?When it comes to oral healthcare products, some brand names are more popular than others.

You've probably heard of Crest, Colgate, and a few others, and you may be wondering whether the brand actually even matters. The answer is – no! When looking for oral healthcare products, you should be more concerned about the ingredients and product features rather than the brand.

Selecting a Toothpaste Regardless of Brand

Toothpaste is one of the most important oral healthcare products in your dental hygiene routine, and there are a lot of options. To choose the right one for your mouth, focus on your particular needs rather than the brand on the box. For example, if you want a toothpaste that prevents cavities and strengthens the enamel, look for one with fluoride, sodium fluoride, or sodium mono fluorophosphates as the active ingredient.

If you have sensitive teeth, you may be in the market for an option that contains potassium nitrate or strontium chloride, and whitening toothpastes that include carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide are the best choices for a brighter smile.

Choosing the Right Mouthwash

Another big decision when it comes to your oral health needs is the type of mouthwash to choose. Listerine, Scope, and ADT are among the most popular brands, but does brand even matter? Not really. Each brand will have its own formula variation, but most use the same ingredients to reach their goals. The difference between brands usually comes down to the inclusion of alcohol and the taste. Like with toothpaste, the key to choosing the right mouthwash is to find one with active ingredient needed to help your situation.

If you need help choosing the right dental products for your oral healthcare routine, give us a call today. We'll help you to discover the best toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, and mouthwash options needed to keep your unique teeth clean and healthy.
