Your teeth are your mouth's ambassadors, your ticket to nachos, and the only things keeping your tongue in your head. Toughen your nacho ticket with today's Groupon: for $59, you get a dental exam, cleaning, and x-rays from Collins Family Dentistry at its North Spokane or Cheney location (a $305 value).

Lauded in Spokane Coeur d’Alene Living for its smile-engendering services, Collins Family Dentistry cleans, repairs, and strengthens Spokanians’ pearly mouth bones, all while aiming to prevent cavity catastrophe and root-canal chaos. Doctors Ken Collins Sr. and Chris Collins form the father-son team at the helm of the family-centered practice, which, unlike most familial business ventures, doesn’t hold game nights and bocce-ball tournaments in the office. Today’s deal gets your mouth a careful examination ($64) that surveys the oral landscape for territorial aberrations, a thorough professional cleaning ($118), and x-rays ($123) to check that your teeth possess the inner strength and fortitude required to bite into ice cream and granite cakes.

Collins Family Dentistry views its patients as extended members of its clan, which explains why patients may inexplicably find themselves on a breezy cruise, sporting a custom-made T-shirt that reads Collins Reunion ‘10. The North Spokane location opens its doors September 13, but you can book your appointment now. Call to schedule an appointment and mention your Groupon.
