Things To Replace In The New Year
When we’re talking about your smile and the incoming New Year, we like to bring up topics you may not have thought of before.

Haven’t really looked at your smile in this light just yet? Let’s get started, so you can prepare to take care of any “replacement” needs you may have!
Porcelain Veneers: 3 Reasons You Dismiss Them (But Shouldn’t)
Have you noticed that when you check out our website and poke around online as you think about improving your smile that you completely dismiss porcelain veneers? The second you see them, do you think to yourself, “Nope, not for me” and then carry on? If so, we would like you to take a moment to reflect on the reasons you’re doing this and to realize you may actually want to slow down, take some time, and get to know veneers a bit better. Our Grand Prairie, TX team knows that like for many patients, when you better understand a treatment and the benefits it offers, you may realize it’s not at all what you thought (but exactly what you need)!

Brushing: Questions We Want You To Feel Okay Asking Us
We know that you may feel pretty good about asking questions when it comes to complicated topics like tooth decay, restorations, and more. However, we are also well aware that our patients frequently feel sheepish when they need to ask us a question about something that they view as “very basic.” One detail that you really need to know about and that is often the type of thing patients just can’t bear to bring up? Brushing! That’s right, one portion of your daily preventive care at home. We know you may feel sort of embarrassed since you’ve been brushing for many years! However, our Grand Prairie, TX team implores you: Please ask us if you have dental hygiene questions. We would love to answer them!
Oral Health: The Foundation For So Many Things!
You know just from hearing it over and over throughout the course of your life that you should feel like your oral health is important. We tell you protect it because of this! However, if you don’t have the “why” behind this recommendation, you may also find that you are sometimes missing that oh-so-important motivation that you require in order to follow through with home care and professional care, too! Since smile protection happens to be our passion, our Grand Prairie, TX team would love nothing more than to help you better understand what makes smile care so significant!
Holiday Guests And Your Bathroom: Helpful Tips
If you’re not the one traveling this holiday season, then you don’t exactly need our tips for what to put on your travel list in regard to your oral health care. However, if you are receiving guests as you are the one hosting, then you just might want to write another list entirely. While you may assume those that are showing up to your home will be prepared, remember that the holidays can become a rushed and frantic time that leads to some forgetfulness and missed details. Make sure everyone in your household enjoys optimal smile protection with our Grand Prairie, TX team’s easy-to-follow tips to make for a cozy time.
When You Need Restorative Care: Think About This!
When you need restorative care, you may be the type of person to pick up the phone immediately, set up a dental visit, find out what’s wrong, schedule the treatment, and then you’re all better! However, if you happen to be like many of the patients we meet with at our Grand Prairie, TX practice, things go a bit more like this: You know something is probably wrong with your oral health but you wait a while because you feel worried. Then, you finally come in! However, instead of scheduling your treatment right away, you simply try to forget about it or you keep saying you’ll do it tomorrow. We understand. However, we would really like for you to consider some things to think about that might make following through with restorations feel so much easier!

“O” Words: Schedule A Visit If You Say These During Hygiene
There are some things that you shouldn’t be saying when you’re brushing and flossing your smile. Not because they’re “bad” words but because if they’re coming out of your mouth during dental hygiene, then it probably means you need a dental checkup! To make things easy, let our Grand Prairie, TX team begin by offering up some words that begin with the letter “O” as a means of helping you realize: When you need some help from our team, no matter how simple or serious, we are always happy to see you!
