Don't Wait Until It's Too Late!

Don't wait  until it's too late! 

A disturbing trend is happening around America. Emergency rooms are being flooded by people with toothaches and infections. Typically the only treatment you will be given is a prescription for antibiotics.

Antibiotics will not alleviate the underlying cause of the infection. Once the infection is gone and you are out of antibiotics, the infection will most likely come back unless you take care of the initial problem.

People who do not  follow up with diagnosed problems run the risk of the initial problem becoming worse. This can potentially cause serious and in some cases life threatening infections. 

What can be done to keep this from happening? See your dentist for regular check-ups. When you are given a diagnosis, make sure you take care of your treatment.

Give us a call today! Don't wait until you are in extreme pain. If you are a current patient of ours and have dental insurance that you have not used yet this year, don't lose it. Call us today. It could end up costing you more in the long run if you wait.

Our goal here at Hemet Valley Dental Care is to keep your smile healthy and happy!

Do You Smile?



Do you shy away from the camera?

Do you find yourself hiding your smile from others?

What does your smile say about you?


Smiles are very telling.  When a person smiles, you can determine one's mood, confidence level or lack of. If someone were to look at your smile, what could be determined? 

Smiles are infectious and can change your mood or the mood of others you smile at. There are many more health benefits to smiling.

- Lowers blood pressure
- Stress reliever
- Releases Endorphins
- Releases Serotonin

These are just a few benefits of smiling.

So what is keeping you from smiling? If you are not happy with the appearance of your smile, please give us a call today at Hemet Valley Dental Care. We care about you and your smile.

Use It Or Lose It

Are you paying for your Dental Insurance?


Have you been in to see your dentist this year?

Are you wasting your money?

These are all questions you should ask yourself. If you are paying towards your dental insurance and have not yet been to see your dentist, you are throwing your money away. Most insurance plans have yearly allowances. It may be $1500.00 It may be $3000.00. This is all money that could be going towards your smile, health and overall dental needs!

The year is quickly coming to an end. Come December 31st, 2013 your insurance benefits will be expired!  That means that the dental insurance company you are paying gets to keep that $1500.00 to $3000.00 dollar a year benefit at the expense of your bank account and most importantly your health and well being.

Please do your smile a favor and start taking advantage of your benefits before it's too late. Give Dr.Ko a call today! We look forward to hearing from you.

 Hemet Valley Dental Care would like to take care of your dental needs. We are changing the world one smile at a time!
