Do Whitening toothpastes really work you ask?
The effectiveness of whitening toothpastes will depend on why your teeth don’t look white in the first place! Whitening toothpastes chemically or mechanically help to remove stain on the tooth surface. Because most toothpastes contain mild abrasives, they may not be strong enough to remove heavy external stains that need to be scaled and polished off professionally at our office. There is no scientific evidence whitening toothpastes can whiten teeth from internal discoloration. Internal discoloration happens to everyone as they age! The only whitening agents in toothpastes are abrasives that help rub off stains from coffee, tea, or red or white wine for example. If you feel your teeth are not as white and attractive as you would like, or are embarrassed to smile due to darker teeth, Dr Kelley Fisher Issaquah can advise you on what whitening method would work best for you! Don’t wait any longer! Call us today!

A tooth gap, or diastema, is a space between the teeth. Gaps can occur between any teeth but are usually seen between the upper two front teeth. Although some people see tooth gaps as a source of beauty, others see them as a source of embarrassment. For those reluctant to smile in pictures because of gapped teeth, there are many options available to close your gap so you can smile with confidence. If you are a good candidate, ‘Instant orthodontists’ is a great alternative by using veneers or dental bonding in the dental office. As little as 2 visits, you can change your smile and have the gorgeous smile you’ve always wanted!

With thorough cleanings, your hygienist will remove most external staining caused by food, certain drinks and tobacco. Using a whitening toothpaste ”may” also help remove these surface stains between dental visits. If stains have been present for years, you may need to have your teeth professionally whitened to remove these more stubborn external stains. Zoom! is an excellent in office whitening procedure that give amazing results!
Internal stains can be bleached, bonded, crowned or veneered. While each of these methods is safe and effective, Dr. Fisher Issaquah will recommend which treatment is appropriate for you depending on the state of your teeth and the results that you wish to achieve!

Are electric toothbrushes better than manual ones? That’s the question debated among many dentists, and the answer to that question: It all depends on what kind of “brusher” you are.
If you have too much plaque buildup and brush too hard…
You might want to switch to an electric toothbrush. There are times when patients want to do a perfect job of brushing their teeth, which causes them to brush too hard on the gums. As a result, it can cause gum recession and abrasion.
The electric toothbrush is less dependent on correct brushing technique, which will do all the work for you without harming your gums and teeth.
If your brushing technique is flawless…
Your manual toothbrush will do just fine. If you are following a good oral hygiene and see your hygienist regularly, there is no need to switch to an electric toothbrush. A manual toothbrush can effectively get rid of the plaque in your smile as long you maintain a proper brushing technique.
When you are brushing, aim the toothbrush bristles at the gum line and move the brush in a circular, gentle motion. This will sweep the plaque away from your gums, promoting supreme oral health.
Oral hygiene tips
Whether you choose the electric or manual toothbrush, you should always bear in mind these tips to look after your teeth:
- Stay away from the hard and medium bristle toothbrush. Always choose the soft bristles for a gentle brushing.
- Clean your teeth in the morning and at night.
- Replace your toothbrush every three months.
- Floss every day.
- Clean your tongue to remove any extra plaque hidden in your mouth.
You have the power to keep plaque at bay, and obtain a beautiful smile by visiting top dentist in Issaquah, Dr. Fisher for professional cleanings. Please give us a call today if you are in need of a dental check-up!

Peace, Love and Joy
As this year draws to an end, we want to take the time to reflect on this wonderful year with patients. All of the wonderful lives we’ve helped change with veneers, teeth bleaching, dental implants, and full mouth reconstructions. Some with sedation dentistry and some without. We are very, very blessed to do what we do. From routine cleanings to everything above, we are truly grateful. A year of laughter, tears, and love, we appreciate each and every one of you. Our prayers are for you all to have a blessed holiday season! Cheers! Love Team Fisher!

It’s that time of year to re-evaluate your dental benefits left for the year! Most dental plans renew January 1st and unfortunately, unused benefit money doesn’t “roll over” into the new year! Dental insurance companies say “if you don’t use it, you loose it!” Also, it’s important to know that most insurance companies pay for major restorative work, IE: crown and bridge work, on the final “seat day” so you want to make sure to get all your work permanently in by the end of the year to use this
Keepin' your smiles healthy!!
