Call 859-474-7830 to plan a visit with us. We want to hear about your adventures while we check your teeth.
1. Give Away Some Candy
We remember how incredible it felt to come home with a bag filled with candy as kids. Seeing all those sweets was a wonderful sight. However, that’s also a lot of temptation. You can reduce your risk of overdoing it by planning ahead to share candy with kids who couldn’t go trick-or-treating or sending some candy to charities that accept it.
2. Eat Meals Before Sweets
The best time to eat sweets is after a meal. This is for two reasons. First, you are less likely to overdo it on candy if you are already full from your dinner. Second, you produce saliva when you eat. The saliva you produced during lunch assists in removing sweet residue left by candy.
3. Maintain Your Oral Hygiene Routine
Remember to continue doing the things you already should be doing. Brushing your teeth twice daily. Floss every day. And stop by your family dentist for regular cleanings and exams.

I made the switch to this dentist when my other pushed for me to use IV sedation when I needed to get a tooth pulled even though I didn’t want it. They got me in quick and listened to my concerns. They made the process quick and painless. They are super nice and helped me relax. I will be taking my whole family here from now on.
Edgewood dental staff was very friendly, attentive and met my needs. I felt very comfortable and recieved great care! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dental care!
So caring and thoughtful. Going to the dentist is uncomfortable and sometimes painful but they make it SO easy!! I’ve never had such accurate, fast and friendly people take care of me in any medical professional. They are the best! Don’t feel like you’ll be judged if you haven’t been to the dentist in a while. They are thoughtful and considerate of your feelings! You have to go there! I look forward to my next appointment!
Everyone was so kind and helpful. I was treated with understanding and patience. They helped me with my cracked tooth quickly and painlessly. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith and his staff. I am a self pay and they gave me plenty of options to help me and they were not outrageous with their price.
I went in for a first visit. Entire staff were cordial. X-rays were taken and the dentist came in and was very thorough in his explanation of my treatment. I am glad that I am now a patient of theirs.
From the time I stepped into the place I experienced prompt, professional service, from the receptionist to the dental asst. and especially the dentist! I liked how gentle the dental assistant was with my x-rays considering I was in so much pain, she did an excellent job and the dentist was just as gentle in his evaluation!
Great experience at Edgewood Dental Care! They thoroughly explained everything, set up a plan for treatment and were super friendly. I’m so glad I switched to them!
I’ve always hated the thought of going to the dentist. They got me in as a new patient, same day and removed two teeth. The process was rough for me but they were incredibly patient and understanding. The prices were very good compared to the last office I went to. I already have another appointment booked and will happily drive 25 minutes away from home just to go to this dentist. Fantastic people.
Everyone at Edgewood Dental is very friendly, professional and go out of their way to make you comfortable. Dr. Middendorf is my hero. He explained everything he was doing and he took his time. I was very nervous but his caring manor and confidence really helped me relax. I found my new dentist.
Excellent care. Staff was very pleasant. Affordable plans make it easy to keep up a regular professional routine when dental insurance is not available. I highly recommend!
