What Is A Family Dentist? And How Are The Super Dentists Different?

Do you see a family dentist? Are you even sure what a family dentist is?

Those are two essential questions for your family’s overall dental health. Since the link between teeth and gum health is directly tied to your physical well-being, it’s important to know where your family is getting treated and who is treating them. It helps to know the services and procedures a family dentist offers – and how they are different from other dentists. 

The Super Dentists, San Diego’s largest, most trusted and top awarded Pediatric Dentistry, Teen and Adult Dentistry and Orthodontics Practice, is sometimes referred to as a family dentistry. While we offer many of the same services as a family dentist, we go way beyond traditional family oral healthcare by providing a wide range of services for the whole family, from toddlers and children and teens to parents.

Let’s examine some of the typical services you’ll receive at a family dentist practice, along with all the “extras” available at The Super Dentists.

What to Expect at a Family Dentist

A family dentist offers general dental care for patients of all ages. These services include:

  •         Teeth cleaning
  •         Root canals
  •         Whitening procedures
  •         Fillings
  •         Dentures
  •         Bridges, caps and crowns
  •         Orthodontic care (some family dentists offer this, but not all)
  •         Other general dental work

The Super Dentists will gladly see your whole family. But we’re not a family dentist in the traditional sense. Sure, we provide the same patient-friendly care, but that’s where the similarities end. The Super Dentists is unlike anything your family has experienced within the field of dentistry and orthodontic care. So how do The Super Dentists differ from family dentist practices?

  •         Engaging environment. From our virtual reality app to our cavity-fighting toothbrushes, The Super Dentists strives to constantly reinvent and transform the dental experience. If you think going to a dentist means a boring waiting room and Muzak playing, The Super Dentists will turn that perception upside down with a combination of a fun, colorful interactive lounge for kids with games and movies and costumes, combined with the highest quality dental care using state-of-the-art technology
  •         Comprehensive resources. Unlike other family dentist practices that may cover the basics, when you visit The Super Dentists website, you’ll find an informative blog, a full slate of educational resources, recent news stories, a list of events we sponsor and participate in and much more. We think patients deserve the best resources to make the best decisions about their oral healthcare. Our website reflects ever-expanding content – it’s just one more way we’re different from family dentists!
  •         Full-service capabilities. The Super Dentists goes the extra mile (and farther) to ensure your family receives the latest treatments to achieve super smiles. We offer everything from AADvance Braces™ to Clear Aligners® to teeth-whitening techniques and so much more.
  •         Complete orthodontic care. From the most advanced braces and a menu of innovative teeth alignment options, The Super Dentists offers the most comprehensive orthodontic care available in San Diego, led by our acclaimed orthodontists and support staff.

Dr. Kami Hoss Launches The Super Toothbrush Golden Sticker Contest

 

** Contest offers patients chances to win premium annual theme park passes, lifetime supply of toothbrushes!

Dr. Kami Hoss announces The Super Toothbrush Golden Sticker Giveaway. The contest celebrates the launch of The Super Toothbrush Collector’s Edition, a 4-pack of toothbrushes, targeted for kids ages 4 to 7, that features some of The Super Dentists’ most popular characters, augmented reality, a two-minute toothbrushing song, and a year’s worth* of toothbrushes all in one convenient package!

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20191119005444/en/

Five Golden ToothKeri Stickers have been randomly inserted behind one of the toothbrushes in five of the Collector’s Edition boxes. Once discovered, the five winners will each receive four premium annual passes to one of five of the most popular Southern California theme parks, a lifetime supply of The Super Toothbrush and a VIP tour of The Super Dentists’ Operations. The Collector’s Edition is available at all five The Super Dentists offices in San Diego, CA. The contest runs through December 31, 2019 and the winners will receive their prizes in early 2020. Visit TheSuperDentists.com for official rules.

The Super Toothbrush Collector’s Edition features The Super Dentists’ superhero and villain characters that kids know and trust, including Dr.HaveOneSuperSmile, The Tooth Keri, Cavitar and Molar. The Super Toothbrush Collector’s Edition is available in all five The Super Dentists offices for $19.99, a special price, just for patients. It will also be available on Amazon.

“We’ve sold thousands of The Super Toothbrush since launching it in July. The response from our patients has been overwhelmingly positive. Patients send me videos of kids dancing along to our song and even sleeping with our toothbrushes,” said Dr. Kami Hoss, co-founder of The Super Dentists. “With this contest, you’re not only getting a year’s worth of toothbrushes at a great price, but a chance to win amazing prizes.”

The singing toothbrush features an Augmented Reality (AR) component to make tooth brushing interactive for kids. Research shows that kids brush their teeth 73% longer when brushing to music. They also only brush for half of the recommended amount of time without music. The Super Toothbrush plays a two-minute tooth brushing song, so kids are both entertained and know exactly how long they should brush.

The Super Toothbrush features include:

Integrated Augmented Reality – The Super Toothbrush includes a magic sticker for the bathroom mirror. When paired with the VIVARRA Dental App, The Tooth Keri pops out of the sticker and comes to life to teach (or remind) kids how to brush and floss their teeth.
Two-minute tooth-brushing song – studies show that children brush their teeth 73% longer while listening to music. One of the biggest problems with kids’ dental care is they don’t spend enough time brushing. The two-minute The Super Dentists sing-along song is the perfect background music so kids know how long they should be brushing.
Premium Tynex DuPont bristles – soft for comfort, yet durable and long-lasting.
Long battery life – The battery, which is included, lasts three months; the recommended duration the American Dental Association suggests for replacing toothbrushes.
*The American Dental Association recommends changing your toothbrush every three months.

AR is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real-world are “augmented” by computer-generated images, sometimes across multiple senses, including sight, sound and touch. To engage with The Super Dentists’ App, a patient (child or parent) downloads from the App Store or Google Play, and then scans large colorful floor targets in The Super Dentists offices, or the magic sticker at home.

Because oral care is a critical part of essential whole-person healthcare, The Super Toothbrush is The Super Dentists’ new product in its expanding commitment to deliver an integrated dental and whole healthcare experience for kids and families. Other healthcare products, like toothpaste and mouthwash, will follow.

Howard HealthCare Academy Celebrates 2019 Graduates

 

Nearly two dozen students graduated this week from the Howard Healthcare Academy, a California dental school. The students completed the Registered Dental Assistant program.

Part of this fall graduating class includes six students from the former Brightwood College, which suddenly closed December 2018, leaving students stranded mid-program. When the school folded, Howard HealthCare Academy awarded scholarships to the students and assisted in transferring 78% of them to Howard Healthcare Academy to complete their dental assisting studies.

The graduates celebrated the event by hearing from guest speaker Dr. Kami Hoss, one of the school’s co-founders, as well as co-founder of The Super Dentists, the largest pediatric dental practice in San Diego. Hoss said he created the school because he found a need for highly trained dental assistants.
