Hi! My name is Britta.
Thank you for your interest in Flossed! I am the owner & face behind all of this. I am a Registered Independent Dental Hygienist & have always had a passion for dentistry; and making you Smile!
I am a born and raised MDIslander! I moved to southern Maine after High School to obtain my degree in Dental Hygiene at the University of New England. My career after graduating began in Pediatrics for five years. I then spent the next six years working in numerous Dental offices in southern Maine and along the Seacoast area. I learned alongside specialized Dentists in comprehensive offices using the latest technologies in Dentistry!
As your dental hygienist, my goal is more than just cleaning your teeth; I want to help you find your dental visits enjoyable and give you the knowledge to create healthy oral habits beyond the dental chair.
I can’t tell you how excited I am to provide you with a calm, relaxing dental experience, all while helping you achieve your dental hygiene goals.
FAQs
Do you accept my insurance?
Flossed accepts and will bill all insurances on our patient’s behalf. We are a “In-network” provider with Delta Dental and Maine Care. Any other insurances we may be considered an “out-of-network” provider and any fees not covered by your insurance will be the patient’s responsibility to pay. Although we will do our best to estimate an accurate out-of-pocket cost for our guests, we encourage you to call your insurance company prior to your appointment.
Do you see children?
Yes! We accept and welcome patients of all ages. It is important to establish healthy habits with a positive experience as early as six months old. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry guideline is eruption of the first tooth or first birthday. This allows me to have the opportunity to connect with parents/guardian to learn about nutrition, airway, and developmental expectations. I am here to help counsel you through these first stages of life so your child is set up for a healthy start and prevent disease.
Is teeth whitening safe for my teeth?
Absolutely! We use a professional-grade whitening system formulated with sensitive teeth in mind. Our whitening product is enamel-safe, causes little to no sensitivity, and is made with natural and organic ingredients. Whitening products have been clinically studied for more than three decades and safely used on millions of patients without harm to teeth or gums.
What about my Dentist?
At Flossed, the main focus is prevention, not repair. After each Dental Hygiene appointment and examination, you will be informed about any concerns that should be further assessed or diagnosed by a Dentist. Recommendations will be given to seek the appropriate care. Working together is an important part of meeting all of your oral health care needs!
