The Benefits Of Being Consistent With Dental Cleanings
It is important to be consistent with your oral hygiene practices at home. When you brush and floss your teeth, you fight the buildup of harmful agents like bacteria and food debris before plaque and tartar formation can occur. As much as this consistency can protect you, it is important that you also take care to see your Rowlett, TX dentist for routine dental exams and cleanings. Dental cleanings provided at these appointments will remove any buildup of plaque and tartar that may have formed since your last appointment, reducing your vulnerability against dental decay and gingivitis. While plaque is a substance you can remove on your own, it should be noted that tartar will not budge while you brush and floss! (more…)

At our Rowlett, TX dentist’s office, we are prepared to restore your tooth so that its appearance and function are returned to normal. With a custom dental crown, the tooth can be protected against future harm, and it can enjoy the structural support to once again safely experience bite pressure.
