Boise Family Dental Care is passionate about serving our patients and giving back to our community. For instance, our team created the Sharing Healthy Smiles Giveaway in 2015 to provide new community members free dental care services. We’ve also provided service and donations to the Ronald McDonald House in Boise, Toys for Tots, and local Vetrans organizations.
These are a few of ways we have been involved in our community over the years. We invite you to join our effots and support our community and other organizations.

Anxious about dental work? We have options to keep you relaxed and comfortable.
To overcome dental anxiety, start by finding a dentist you trust, try focused breathing and learn a bit about what will happen at your appointment.
Look for a trustworthy dentist in Boise or your community and then share your worries. About 72.6% of Americans experience some anxiety about dentist visits, so your provider will get it and can walk you through every step.
During procedures, you can try deep, mindful breathing. Breathe slowly, focusing on your breathing or listening to music to distract yourself.
If your anxiety prevents you from seeking dental care or causes severe distress, consider sedation dentistry or therapy.
Your options for sedation dentistry include intravenous and pill sedatives. With intravenous or IV dental sedation, a needle delivers the medication right into your bloodstream. If you dislike needles, you may also be able to take a sedative pill before your treatment. In both cases, you will remain awake but relaxed during your appointment.
You can get a toothache treated immediately by visiting a dentist like Boise Family Dental Care, which offers emergency and same-day dental care. During your appointment, your dentist may be able to prescribe medication or provide treatment to help relieve the pain.
Help your child get ready for the dentist by talking about the visit in a positive way. You can explain what the dentist does, show them some pictures or videos and maybe read a book together about dentist visits so they know what to expect. Try to book the visit for when your child is relaxed and well-rested.
Common causes of tooth pain include tooth decay, infection, teeth grinding, cracked teeth, enamel damage and loose fillings. If it’s just some gum irritation or something stuck, it might clear up on its own. But if the pain is strong or you can’t figure out why it’s happening, get in touch with your dentist so things don’t get worse.
