We Know How You Feel
Sometimes, you may be sitting in the treatment chair... and may wonder, "How would they like to be in my position?" As an office, many of us have been there either as patients or parents to our children receiving treatment.
Five of our dental team members have children in braces. Dr. Hornseth is going through braces again after having them as a teenager. He will tell you a lot has changed, since he wore them in the late 60's. One of the hygienist's children had orthognathic surgery to correct a large overbite (and is now in dental school at Marquette). Three members of our team have veneers to straighten crooked teeth.
A few have visited Valley Endontics to have root canals completed or the oral surgeon to have wisdom teeth removed or an implant placed.
So, next time you have a question about your treatment or dental options feel free to ask, odds are we have been there ourselves.
Sincerely,
Dr. Philip Hornseth, Dr. Erin Curless and Dental Team |

Say Cheese
Next time you visit us at your hygiene appointment, say cheese as your hygienist will take a photo of your smile to store in your electronic record. You may say... "I don't like to smile for the camera, or I hate my photo taken." This photo will allow us to have a record of how your teeth look.
Every three years we will take a new photo and compare any changes to your smile. These pictures are also important if a tooth breaks and want it restored as before. Dr. Hornseth and Dr. Curless will be happy to discuss any alterations that you may have for improving the appearance of your front teeth as well.
Here is an example of a before and after photo:
Dr. Erin Curless restored this tooth with composite filling material in April. A little girl left our office with a huge smile for her fixed tooth.
This tooth erupted with a defect in the enamel called dysplasia. Enamel dysplasia can be easily fixed with a tooth colored filling. Enamel dysplasia is an enamel defect caused by a fever, trauma when the tooth is erupting, or other causes. |

Tooth Fairy News... 
What Happens When a Child Loses a Tooth in Nepal... My mother and father say that if a crow or a bird sees or eats my tooth, a new one won't come in. I bury my tooth in the garden and cover it with soil. Or I might cover the tooth with cow dung or mud and throw it on the roof so it will be hidden.

Patient Testimonial
When our previous dentist laughed about my young son's fear and inability to control his gag reflex and told him to get over it, I decided we needed a new dentist. We moved to Hornseth and Curless Dental after a friend recommended them. The hygienists and dentists worked with him with kindness and humor and he's now able to have the most invasive procedures done with very few problems and little anxiety. From the start they have been wonderful, caring and interested in making us both comfortable while maintaining and encouraging our good dental health. The office staff is friendly and welcoming and always very nice about any scheduling difficulties or billing questions. I'm very grateful and that's why we're here!
Evelyn from Appleton
