Teeth Whitening With Charcoal – Dr VanderMolen Shares His Views
July 5, 2017
Dr. Vandermolen was recently interviewed by Newschannel 20 about using charcoal to whiten teeth. The truth is that the charcoal won’t actually whiten teeth, but only removes surface stains caused by coffee or smoking.
He further explained: “When people start to brush this charcoal substance on there, we’re not really sure about how abrasive charcoal is, and if it’s too abrasive, and studies show that it might be, then you’re taking away enamel off of your teeth. So, you’re taking stain, but you’re also taking enamel away, and you don’t grow enamel back.”

Free Dental Care – Annual Dentistry From The Heart
May 26, 2017
Dr VanderMolen stopped by the Newschannel 20 studios the other day to talk about some of the specifics regarding our upcoming Dentistry From The Heart. It will be held on June 2nd and this will be our 8th year hosting this event. We’re extremely excited and honored to be able to provide this service to the Springfield community.
While the doors will open at 8am, the line will most likely start to form the night before as we can only guarantee service for the first 100 patients. We will see as many patients as possible until 4pm and it is first-come-first-serve so you cannot call to schedule an appointment this day.

While eating your entire bucket of candy probably isn’t a good idea, Dr VanderMolen, as related to Fox News Illinois, “…eat some of the candy. Just remember to brush your teeth afterwards and remember to drink lots of water.”
