Life gets busy, and it’s easy to let dental visits slide to the bottom of your to-do list. But staying on top of your routine care makes a big difference—not just for your teeth and gums, but for your overall health, too. Since May is National Dental Care Month, consider this your friendly reminder that it’s time to take care of you.
You’re enjoying your morning coffee when—ouch!—a sharp zing shoots through your tooth. Or maybe you’re flossing and notice a rough edge that wasn’t there before. These small changes can catch you off guard, but they’re often signs that you need to have a dental filling replaced.
April is here, which means it’s Oral Cancer Awareness Month—the perfect time to focus on a disease that often goes undetected until it’s advanced. Around 50,000 Americans are diagnosed each year, and catching it late can make treatment more difficult. But there’s hope. A brief, painless exam can help detect oral cancer early. Keep reading to learn about risk factors, warning signs, and why your routine dental checkup can play a life-saving role.
Losing teeth can change more than just your smile—it can affect the way you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. If gaps in your smile are holding you back, dentures offer a reliable, natural-looking solution. At Pollard Dental in Silverdale, WA, we provide full and partial dentures that restore function, confidence, and comfort.
We know that dental insurance can be frustrating—between complicated coverage rules, unexpected costs, and annual limits, it often feels like it’s working against you rather than for you. And if you don’t have insurance at all, routine dental care can feel out of reach. That’s why we’ve created a simple, affordable membership plan designed just for you. It includes your preventive care—cleanings, exams, and X-rays—and gives you discounts on additional treatments. There’s no waiting period, no hidden fees, and no surprises—just quality care when you need it.
Helping your kids establish healthy dental habits now is one of the best gifts you can give them. Not only does it protect their teeth today, but it also sets the stage for a lifetime of confident, healthy smiles. However, getting kids excited about brushing and flossing can sometimes feel like an uphill battle.
February is Gum Disease Awareness Month—a timely reminder of just how important healthy gums are for your smile and overall well-being. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is one of the most common dental issues among adults. It can progress silently, often without noticeable symptoms, and if left untreated, it becomes the leading cause of tooth loss.
Are you struggling with missing teeth and feel unsure which tooth replacement option is right for you? Or do you have an idea in mind but are concerned about the need to visit multiple offices and specialists? Dental implants are the best alternative to regular teeth, as the look and functionality of the implant mimics that of a natural tooth. At Pollard Dental, we are proud to not only offer dental implants as a tooth replacement option, but we are also a one-stop shop. We complete all aspects of the implant in our office so no need to worry about visiting several offices.
Do you long for a dentist who makes you feel like they truly care about you and your family and meeting everyone’s needs? At Pollard Dental, located in beautiful Silverdale, WA, we are committed to giving you and your children the absolute best in service, value, and quality.
