A home should be built on a solid foundation, and your dental home is no different. Your general dentist is responsible for building up and maintaining the groundwork for excellent oral health. This begins with some fundamental understanding of the daily threat to your smile.
The food and drink you consume nourish your body and the ecosystem within your mouth. When in balance, your mouth is healthy, but excessive sugary treats combined with poor oral hygiene tips that balance, and bacteria that live naturally in your mouth explode with growth. As a result, they build up deposits on your teeth and gums, leading to cavities and gum disease.
You may not realize it, but your general health may depend on your general dentist. Recent research links untreated dental disease to numerous maladies, like:

Our team is enthusiastic about providing family dentistry to make children of all ages feel at ease and comfortable. So, we encourage you to bring the whole family!
We want to see your child by their third birthday, though we invite you to bring in younger children to normalize the dental environment. For their first exam, your little one can sit in your lap, so they feel calm and secure. Then, we can perform a cleaning for each of you at the same time.
We know that several things may put your child at risk for tooth decay, often from bad brushing and flossing habits. But frankly, even meticulous habits might not reach the deep grooves in the back teeth. Fortunately, we can apply dental sealants for an extra layer of protection.
Before we apply a sealant, our dentists ensure the targeted teeth are clean and sterile. We then apply a thin coating of a special plastic material that flows into those worrisome molar grooves. Finally, we use a special light to cure the sealant and bond it to the teeth.
Dental sealants are one of the best preventive treatments we can use to safeguard your children’s teeth.
As we age, our teeth and gums change and may have particular needs. For example, decades of plaque buildup and coffee or tobacco use can make teeth appear darker. Certain medications reduce saliva production as a side effect, which can exacerbate dental decay. Additionally, older metal amalgam fillings could be on the verge of failure.
When you visit Advanced Dentistry of Spring, we have solutions to these challenges and more. For example, we can restore darkened teeth and treat dry mouth. We also replace outdated metal fillings with modern tooth-colored material. Where tooth replacement might be necessary, we can offer numerous options, from traditional dentures to implant-supported options.
Our team looks forward to meeting new patients in our Spring community, including Klein, Cypress, Tomball, The Woodlands, and Magnolia.
If you’re ready to receive cutting-edge treatments from a highly experienced general dental team, we invite you to schedule an appointment today.
