Cavity Germs (plaque) Finder.
Sally, if you were a tasty bug and you were hiding in the grass so a bird would not find you and eat you, what color would you like to be?
Sally: "Green!"
Exactly! So if you are a cavity causing germ hiding on a tooth, what color would you be?
Sally: "White?"
Right again! That makes them invisible on your teeth. So when you brush your teeth, how do you know if you got them clean?
Sally, "Hmmm. I don't know. I can't see the germs."

About Me
- Dr. Scott Thompson
- Welcome to Winning With Smiles - Pediatric Dentistry. We are dedicated to cavity free, healthy beautiful smiles. We look forward to the opportunity to share with you what we know about creating optimal oral health for growing children. We understand oral health is closely tied to general health and like to work closely with the family physician. Oral health is also closely tied to family life and lifestyle. That is why we like to have the family involved with dental appointments. What we teach our patients works best if understood and supported by the family and will benefit the family as well. We enjoy working with parent and siblings present. We have been learning from families since 1974. With the family present, open questions lead to family learning. We are dedicated to your oral health.
