As we settle into the summer season, many of our priorities switch from homework and busy schedules to tanning and enjoying the outdoors. However, for us at Arhart Dental, we find happiness in giving back to the Shakopee community that we love so much.

You have heard it over and over—brush and floss your teeth regularly. Did you know taking care of your mouth is more than a way to keep cavities at bay? Your entire body benefits in sometimes surprising ways from a clean, healthy mouth. Dr. James Arhart, your experienced family dentist serving Shakopee and surrounding areas, can help you develop a strategy for keeping your mouth—and your body—in tip-top shape. Here are some significant benefits of good oral hygiene.

Few things are more fun than a baseball game. A classic American pastime, we all love the atmosphere, the spirit of competition, and the feeling that comes from a carefree afternoon at the ball game – and now we're excited to be giving away 2 free tickets to a Minnesota Twins game in June! If you win, you'll get to choose which game you want to attend, and we'll set you up with the seats. Best of all, entering couldn't be easier!

Spending time outside in the frigid Minnesota winter weather can do more than make your face, fingers, and toes feel uncomfortably cold and frozen as you can also experience sensitivity and pain in your teeth when the mercury levels drop.

In addition to dedicating ourselves to delivering top-notch dental care to families living in the Shakopee, MN area, the team at Arhart Dental is also very dedicated to giving back to the local community we’re a part of. We’re very excited to share some great news with you here about the Hats & Mittens drive we recently held. We partnered with Hats & Mittens, a local non-profit organization that raises money and collects hats and mittens to help keep homeless children warm during the cold Minnesota winter weather.

Halloween is just around the corner and your Shakopee dentist Dr. Arhart and the rest of our team have decided to see how creative our patients are with a costume contest! And the best part is, every one of our patients can participate, even your four legged friends!

Who doesn't love the state fair, there’s so much to do! You can enjoy the fun and exciting rides, delicious foods, and games galore! Starting August 24th through to Labor Day, September 4th the fair will be held In St. Paul. Some impressive attractions include the Great Big Wheel, which stands at a whopping 156 feet. This gigantic Ferris wheel provides stunning views of the state fairgrounds and the Twin Cities. If heights aren’t your thing, why not stop by one of the food stands and try some awesome fair fare! There’s no shortage of delicious foods at the Minnesota State Fair. From fried cheese curds to steak sandwiches, there’s no way you can leave the fair with an empty stomach.

If you’ve lost one or multiple teeth, for any reason, there are solutions out there that will help you restore your smile to it’s former glory and be complete again. At Arhart Dental, we proudly offer tooth replacement options to our patients in Shakopee, MN and the surrounding areas, but what solution is best for you? Asking your local dentist, or even doing a quick search online for teeth replacement options will show you that some of the most common solutions are dental implants or bridges.

Everyone loves a beautiful, white smile. At Dr. James Arhart, DDS our mission is to help each one of our patients achieve a smile they're proud to show off. As a proud provider of dental treatment to patients throughout the the Shakopee area, we strive to ensure nothing but the highest standard of quality when treating patients—and that extends to our whitening treatment.

At the office of Dr. Arhart D.D.S., our passion is creating radiant smiles for our patients, and helping them keep those smiles healthy so they last a lifetime. Dr. Arhart and his dental staff all share this passion, which allows us to offer only the highest quality general and cosmetic dental treatment for the families in Shakopee, MN and the surrounding communities. While we can transform any smile into a beautiful piece of art, we work with a lot of patients that are missing teeth. While our tooth replacement treatments can restore a smile to its former glory, most patients that are missing teeth aren’t familiar with the risks that tooth loss pose to the rest of their bodies.

Periodontal disease is a progressive condition that grows in severity over time, and while it can grow to be a very serious condition, it often starts in what appear to be mild forms.

The holidays are upon us, and while everyone is looking forward to seeing family and enjoying some delicious holiday treats, for us at Arhart Dental, the holidays are always a reminder of the importance of giving back.
