Some people might be hesitant to make dental appointments during the coronavirus pandemic. After all, dentists had a government-mandated break earlier in the year, and in August the World Health Organization gave questionable guidance that routine dental care be avoided until we sort this whole COVID-19 thing out. These steps were taken as precautionary measures […]
2020 seemed destined for holiday greatness: Valentine’s Day is on a Friday. 4th of July is on a Saturday. Halloween is on a Saturday. Thanksgiving is on a Thursday (of course). Christmas is on a Friday. New Year’s Day 2021 is on a Friday. Then COVID-19 came along, and here we are in October and […]
To our patients, families, and friends: The wait is over! The “stay in place” order from Governor Little will be phasing out beginning April 30th. Prior to this date, we were asked to treat urgent and emergency patients only. Beginning May 4th, we will resume seeing all patients during regular business hours. As we start […]
Unless you’ve been living in a bubble (which isn’t a terrible idea at the moment), you’ve heard a lot about COVID-19, a.k.a. the coronavirus.

Idaho might seem like it’s being invaded, what with as many as 500,000 out-of-state visitors expected to cross our borders to get front row seats to the Great American Eclipse. Rural areas that normally host small populations like Weiser, Stanley, or Donnelly are being overrun with spectators looking for their own patch of open sky. […]
While prevention is the best medicine, sometimes we have to use a special treatment to save a tooth that is infected or is badly decayed. One method we use in a particular set of circumstances is called a root canal. Why Do People Need Root Canals? Teeth aren’t just made out of bone-like dentin, and […]
