Maybe your snoring isn’t loud enough to be considered worrisome, or maybe you just don’t know that you snore every night. At some point, however, it may be obvious that your snoring is more than just a routine habit, and that the sound may be more than just an annoyance. At our Grand Prairie, TX, dental office, we can help many patients stop snoring and address its common underlying issue – sleep apnea – with the help of a custom sleep appliance. (more…)
What Your Preventive Care Routine Should Include!
Something that you already know and could probably attest to in your sleep? The fact that if you want to have a healthy smile, you need to practice preventive care.

Holiday Gift Wrapping: Surprising Smile Hazards!
Yes! It’s about time! If you’re someone who loves poring over the amazingly festive and pretty papers that are out there, the beautiful ribbons, the special tags, and more, then you are serious about your holiday gift wrapping! Beyond the wrapping itself, of course, there are special tapes and accessories that can make things much easier (and, hint: that we strongly suggest you consider).

Allow our Grand Prairie, TX team to offer some things to avoid!
Why Grinding Your Teeth Might Be More than Just Stress

Once the moment passes, the grinding should stop. However, for many patients, teeth-grinding isn’t a reaction to a temporary stressor; it’s a condition known as bruxism, and it won’t stop just because it’s noticed. At our Grand Prairie, TX, dental office, we can help you determine if you have bruxism, and how to help you stop grinding your teeth to prevent serious damage to their structures. (more…)
