A mother of a little league football player went to the dentist after a rather intense tackle knocked one of his loose teeth out. The mother needed to take her son to a convenient dental office in SSP, and River Heights was able to serve them well and put the mom’s fears to rest. The mother was impressed that the staff at River Heights Dental Care was able to get her son in to see the dentist that same afternoon that she called, which was very important to the mother because she was afraid that if the dentist couldn’t look at her son’s tooth and mouth immediately there could be added damage.

The River Heights Dental Care staff took the young boy to the office and Dr. Christopherson and his staff made the young boy feel comfortable and took away any fears that he may have. Dr. Christopherson let the mother know that her son’s tooth would be just fine. He said that since the tooth that fell out was not a permanent tooth the new tooth would come in normally. He just wants to make sure the boy has regular dental appointments, so he could keep an eye on the teeth and the growing process. The mother and her son was happy with the treatment that they received from the River Heights Dental Care and she said this was the best and friendliest dental office SSP parents could trust and depend upon.

River Heights Dental Care received a call from frantic parents. The parents had an eight year old daughter and they got into quite a scare when they gave their daughter a caramel apple. She took her first bite into the caramel apple and she pulled out three teeth with that first bite. Their daughter never mentioned to her parents that she had any loose teeth so the parents wanted her to have a dental checkup with a great general dentist in SSP. The staff assured the parents that Dr. Christopherson would check their daughter’s teeth out thoroughly, and we got the family into the office that same afternoon.

The parents showed up with their daughter, and we took them right back to see Dr. Christopherson. Dr. Christopherson looked over the girls teeth, and let the parents know that what had happened was fairly common and they had nothing to worry about. The parents were very glad to have some of their worries put at ease because Dr. Christopherson reassured them that this often happens to children of this age, and it was very common. They scheduled another appointment with River Heights Dental Care, because they wanted to make sure that their daughter’s teeth would come in normally. They didn’t want to take any chances with their child’s teeth. They are just glad that they found a general dentist in SSP that could see them in their emergency, then put all their worries away.

A health foods enthusiast was pursuing an interest in probiotic foods. He had started this a few years ago. His diet consisted of a lot of fermented products including kimchi, vinegars, and kombucha. He really enjoyed the health benefits, but he started to notice that his teeth were starting to be affected due to the active bacteria in so much of the food that he consumed daily. He called River Heights Dental Care for regular visits to a great SSP dental clinic, and was not disappointed by the wonderfully skilled and knowledgeable staff.

The patient arrived at the River Heights Dental Care, and our friendly staff escorted him to a room where we x-rayed his teeth. Dr. Ben Christopherson looked over the x-rays, then checked out his teeth. Dr. Christopherson let the patient know that he could maintain his diet as long as he came in regularly to have his teeth cleaned and checked. The patient was thrilled to hear this, because his probiotic foods gave him energy and made him feel great. We cleaned his teeth and scheduled him for his next appointment, which would be a few months away. The patient was thrilled with the news that we gave him, and he hasn’t missed an appointment. His teeth are staying healthy thanks to the professional staff at the dental clinic in SSP. Dr. Christopherson is always patient, understanding, and takes the time to listen to the patient, which was important.

The River Heights Dental Care received an urgent call from a mom in South St. Paul. Her son was a student in a high school band, and he chipped a tooth while chewing on ice. Her son was now unable to play his saxophone even though he had been practicing daily, and they needed to get her son in the office quickly. They were looking for the most effective dental clinic South St. Paul had to offer, and they found the River Heights Dental Care through a friend’s mom, who gave them the recommendation. The office was able to see the student that afternoon.

The mother and son arrived, and we looked at his chipped tooth. Dr. Christopherson recommended a dental crown for the chipped tooth. The dental crown would provide stability, durability, and a wonderful appearance, and he would be able to get back to playing his saxophone quickly. Dr. Christopherson performed the dental crown, and it was exactly what he needed. Now, the student is able to practice without squeaking and squawking his instrument, thanks to the dental crown provided by River Heights Dental Care. The mother is pleased, because she was tired of her son moping around the house, and he can now get back to being active in the band. She knows now that River Heights Dental Care is the dental clinic South St. Paul parents can trust and rely upon for quick and effective dental treatments that are comfortable even for kids and teens.

A South St. Paul neighbor received a call from a producer working with a game show. The South St. Paul man was invited to be on the game show, which excited him. He had first tried to be on the show a year ago, but never heard anything back. So, he figured he wasn’t going to be selected. When he received the great news that he might be a contestant on the game show he knew that he needed to have some work done to his teeth. He had to find the best cosmetic dentist SSP had to offer to work on his smile, because he didn’t want to embarrass himself due to his smile. He contacted River Heights Dental Care in South St. Paul, because they offer the best cosmetic dentist SSP had to offer.

The staff at River Heights Dental Care understood the concerns of the man, and Dr. Ben J Christopherson was able to offer cosmetic dentistry for the patient. The patient didn’t end up on the game show, but his increased confidence definitely improved his life, because of the cosmetic dentistry that he received at the River Heights Dental Care. He is smiling more, and is more outgoing too. He never had the confidence that he possesses now, and he didn’t think that just having a small amount of cosmetic work done on his teeth would improve his life so drastically. The patient isn’t disappointed about the game show, because many other opportunities has come his way now.
