Your smile endures a significant amount of wear and tear over the years, and without consistent smile care, you could expect to endure infection, disease, and even tooth loss down the line. While dental prevention is considered the name of the game when it comes to keeping your structures happy and healthy, we would be at a loss without the help of restorative treatment. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist explains why restorative treatment is so essential to maintaining a healthy grin, and how dental crowns can protect your teeth in more ways than one.
Spend A Date With Conroe This Weekend
It goes without saying that the first week of February was a doozy! Many anticipated a Winter storm similar to snowpocalypse 2021, and though it certainly was not as hectic as last year’s, it wasn’t a walk in the park, either. Fortunately, temperatures are increasing and snow will soon be melting so that Conroe’s residents can enjoy the fun activities the city has to offer. As Valentine’s Day is approaching, it is the perfect weather to enjoy some of Conroe’s more romantic gestures. In today’s community blog, your Conroe, TX dentist identifies a few fun-filled events taking place in the Conroe area this weekend.
Mitigating Damage With Composite Fillings
It goes without saying that, as your primary dental provider, our team’s biggest priority is your oral health and equipping you with the tools and resources necessary to ensure a healthy smile for life. Indeed, we recommend a thorough at-home routine to help keep the oral bacteria, germs, and other major smile threats away. Sometimes, however, these concerns may have a different plan. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist explores the dangers of untreated tooth decay and emphasizes the importance of timely cavity fillings.
Addressing Misconceptions About Root Canals
When visiting your dentist, there are often a few words or phrases that are met with hesitation. For example, nobody wants to hear that they require a dental extraction to remove their wisdom teeth, or that a cavity requires a filling. In fact, an ideal world would see a healthy smile maintained by brushing your teeth daily and nothing more. Unfortunately, this is far from the case, and sometimes serious infections may have another idea. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist explains how tooth decay can infect a tooth from the inside and how root canal therapy can help.
Why Should You Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Your oral health is affected by a variety of components every single day. Indeed, the food you consume, how often you brush your structures, and virtually everything else in-between has a hand in your overall oral health. What’s more? Care should be given to more than just your teeth and ignoring your gums, tongue, and other components can cause a variety of complications to arise. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist takes a look at how the manner in which your wisdom teeth erupt can also lead to smile complications.
Taking Care Of Your Periodontal Health
Caring for your smile means much more than just brushing your teeth. Indeed, there is no doubt that teeth-brushing is the foundation of an excellent at-home routine. It is important to note, however, that it is the manner in which oral bacteria, diseases, and more interact with each of your oral structures that have the biggest influence over your oral health as a whole. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist takes a look at the importance of caring for your periodontal health, as well as how gum disease can cause serious complications.

Why You Need To Floss Everyday
In our last blog, we discussed the importance of replacing your toothbrush regularly. Today, we are switching over to the other primary component of at-home preventative dentistry: flossing.

Moreover, proper technique isn’t frequently talked about — at least compared to brushing — so today we are setting the record straight. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist talks about the importance of flossing and the right way for you to do it. (more…)
Signs That You Need A New Toothbrush
As wonderful as it would be, your toothbrush won’t last forever. Even if you splurge on a top-of-the-line electronic brush, you will still have to replace the head regularly. In fact, doing so is more important than you might think. It is beneficial to think of replacing your brush as a key component of your at-home oral hygiene habit, along with brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash consistently. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist describes the signs that indicate it is time for a new toothbrush. (more…)
