Bemidji Mission of Mercy

Thank you to all who participated, whether as volunteers or patients! I was moved by the willingness of my neighbors to become involved in my profession to help our neighbors. There were many instances of patients that turned around and volunteered. That is a testament to living as a village! Thank you for caring for one another! Incase you missed the numbers: 1,652 patient encounters, 6,879 procedures accomplished, $961,724 worth of dental care provided. Thanks again! Doug

There are numerous opportunities for participation in the upcoming Bemidji MnMOM (Minnesota Mission of Mercy). The greatest need at this time is for volunteers to escort patients to and from treatment areas. It is easy (you will receive great instructions) and fun (you will meet new people) and you will be serving others! Go to mndental.org now to sign up for June 13,14 and/or 15! See you there!

Spring?
March 21, 2013 By
OK, we were a little hopeful with our last post, seems like winter again! Here is a dental item for you today: Decay is caused by acid. The source of the acid is bacteria (in dental plaque) ingesting sugars and releasing acid. If we remove the plaque from our teeth daily, there is no bacteria to convert the sugar to acid. If we limit or control our sugar intake we further decrease our risk for dental decay. So, brush after meals or rinse if you cannot brush to reduce food debris (sugars) and floss once a day to keep plaque in check.
Today it feels like Spring! The sun is helping keep the front walk to the office clear and dry, a nice change from using salt. Enjoy the day!

Welcome to Our New Website!
December 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment
At Great River Dentistry we are changing the way patients think about their dental care. It is our goal to be your resource for all of your dental questions and needs. When it came time to redesign our website, we wanted it to be a direct reflection of our office: warm and welcoming.
Using the same earth tones that cover our walls and vibrant photos of our staff, we were able to design a functional website filled with information for our patients. New patient information, transfer patient forms, post-operative care instructions and in-depth explanations of procedures can all be found on our site. It was our goal to give our patients as many resources as possible to help educate and ease an anxious mind.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or click here to make an appointment. Remember, here at Great River Dentistry you can smile because you’re in good hands!
