Meet The Dentists

Eric De Boef, DDS

Dr. Eric De Boef opened Town Square Dental Care (TSDC), Oskaloosa, in 2003 after he graduated from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. Eric grew up in rural Iowa and is privileged to be living and practicing in the same area in which he was raised. Growing up in a tight-knit farming family instilled in him the values of generosity, restoration, open-heartedness, hard work, teachability and honoring others. These values have become the foundation of his practices.

Dr. De Boef also enjoys meeting and mentoring dental students and resourcing dental teams in private practice to foster individual and community growth. This passion has become a niche and he and his team offer consulting services to support dental practices in need.

Eric and his wife, Amy, have been blessed with six children. Eric is actively involved in his church, children’s activities and passing on his values to his family. He enjoys farming and seasonal outdoor activities, whether they be work or sport. He is an avid Iowa Hawkeye fan.

Why Is Visiting The Dentist So Important?

Visiting the dentist regularly will not only help keep your teeth and mouth healthy, but will also help keep the rest of your body healthy. Dental care is important because it:

Helps prevent tooth decay
Protects against periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to tooth and bone loss
Prevents bad breath – brushing, flossing, and seeing the dentist regularly will help reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth that causes bad breath
Gives you a more attractive smile and increases your self-confidence
Helps keep teeth looking bright by preventing them from becoming stained by food, drinks, and tobacco
Strengthens your teeth so that you can enjoy healthy, beautiful smiles for the rest of your life!

How Often Should I See The Dentist?

Children, teens, and adults should all see the dentist for a regular checkup at least once every six months. Patients who are at a greater risk for oral cancer or gum disease may be required to see the dentist more than just twice a year. Your doctor will help determine how often you should visit the dentist for regular checkups.

At What Age Should I Start Taking My Child To See The Dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children first see a dentist as early as six months of age and no later than one year of age. During this time, your child’s baby teeth will be coming in and your dentist can examine the health of your child’s first few teeth. After the first visit, be sure to schedule regular checkups every six months.
