Dental benefits and medical advocacy aren't the same thing.

It's easy to think that your insurance company is your advocate. They'd LOVE you to believe that. The problem is that it's not true. Your insurance company is a for-profit organization focused on their bottom line, not your oral health.

Insurance companies don't want to pay claims — that's why they have administrators whose job is to find reasons to deny coverage. During COVID, it came to light that some companies were actually bonusing employees for rejections. The more claims they denied, the bigger their bonuses.

These administrators making decisions about your dental care aren't healthcare professionals. They're mostly high school graduates who receive a few days of training on how to say no or give vague answers when we call about coverage.

Even when we do thorough insurance verification through our outsourced team, we still get incorrect information because these administrators are trained to be vague. The website always says "this is not a guarantee of anything we're telling you," so they're covered even when they give you wrong information.

And when we appeal denials, the second-level reviewer might be a retired periodontist making decisions about root canals — procedures they haven't performed in decades. They don't know anything about the methodology and training we're using in 2025, but those are the people determining whether you can get the care you need.

We are your advocates. We're the ones recommending what's best for your oral health, not what's cheapest for their shareholders. That's why we do the front-end work to verify benefits, provide estimates, and text you about costs before your appointment.

Your doctor should be your advocate, not your insurance company.

Hot take: Stop kissing your dogs and cats on the face.

Look, we know this is controversial. Pet parents are probably already typing angry comments. But hear us out.

You're not born with the bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease — you get them from someone (or something) else. The longer we can delay introducing harmful bacteria, especially in kids, the better their long-term oral health will be.

We love our pets, but when we see you kissing them on the mouth, what we're thinking is, These are animals that literally eat garbage and lick themselves clean. The same bacteria transmission rules apply whether it's sharing a drink with your sister or getting face kisses from your golden retriever.

We're not saying don't love your pets. Just maybe show that love without swapping saliva?

Your oral health is influenced by everyone (and everything) you share bacteria with. Choose wisely.

✨ One in four adults avoid smiling because of how their teeth look. Think about that. That’s your coworker holding back in photos. Your friend covering their mouth when they laugh. Maybe it’s even you. A chipped tooth, discoloration, or a bite that feels just “off” might seem small, but it affects how we show up in the world.

At Two Aces Dentistry, we don’t believe in overdone. We believe in natural, personal, confidence-boosting care that brings out the real you. Because a smile you’re proud of doesn’t change who you are — it reveals who you’ve been all along. 💛

Let’s help you fall in love with your smile again. Schedule your consultation today —https://twoacesdentistry.digitalfloss.com/learnmore or call us at (202) 529-6468!

We're constantly assessing smiles, even when we're not at work — and sometimes it leads to interesting conversations.

When we meet people socially, dentistry usually comes up a few minutes into the conversation. Someone asks what we do, we mention we're dentists, and the immediate response is always, "Oh, I should hide my teeth!"

If you know us, you won't be surprised to learn that Dr. Bradshaw is more reserved. He makes mental notes like noticing a missing lateral incisor or wondering what's different about someone's smile, but he doesn't say anything.

Dr. Kassam is more direct. If she's comfortable with someone and they seem open to it, she'll actually start a conversation about it. She even sent a DM to a social media influencer recently offering to replace his missing front tooth!

Look. We're not here to judge you. Yes, we notice dental issues because we're TRAINED to notice them. But we never think any less of anyone. Everyone has teeth, everyone has dental issues. We're just more aware of what we can help you with.

If you have any questions, we'd LOVE to answer them for you. Message us here to start the conversation. We'll get you into the office where we can take a proper look at everything and make sure you get the information and the treatment you need.

"Did you know that no one is born with the bacteria that causes cavities or gum disease? Did you even know that bacteria is what causes cavities and gum disease?"

It's really important for parents to understand that kids shouldn't share any food or drinks with anyone at school or at home. No "let me taste this," no sharing drinks, no eating with utensils someone else just used. And yes, that means you shouldn't feed your kids off your own spoon or pass ice cream around for everyone to try.

It would also be great if teens and college students understood the risks of kissing random strangers. Let's be honest. You don't know what oral health issues they have, and if they have active, undiagnosed problems, you're going to get those bacteria.

This is why couples often end up with the same oral health issues. They're swapping bacteria through kissing, sharing meals, and using the same utensils. If one partner has gum disease that's not being treated, the other partner will likely develop it too.

The goal is to delay introducing harmful bacteria as long as possible, especially in children. The longer we can keep cavity-causing bacteria out of their mouths, the better their long-term oral health will be.

Once you understand how bacterial transmission works, you can make better decisions about sharing food, drinks, and yes, kissing people — or pets! — you don't know well.

This isn't about being paranoid — it's about understanding that oral health problems are communicable diseases that can be prevented through smart choices.

Your oral health is influenced by everyone you share bacteria with, so choose wisely.

🦷 Dental implants aren’t just about filling a gap — they’re about restoring something much bigger: your bite, your confidence, your life.

When placed with precision and care, dental implants have a 95% success rate. That’s not luck. That’s advanced imaging, meticulous planning, and a commitment to doing it right the first time.

At Two Aces Dentistry, we don’t just put a tooth in. We restore what was lost — with compassion, precision, and a whole lot of heart. Because everyone deserves a second chance that feels just like the first. 💛
