Welcome to Waxahachie Family Dentistry

When it comes to good oral hygiene habits, starting at a young age is key to a lifetime of healthy smiles. You’ll need to offer physical guidance for your child until they develop the motor skills necessary to do it on their own.

While motivating your child to brush their teeth can be challenging, we suggest setting a good example by brushing your teeth together or making a game out of it. If that doesn’t work, be sure to ask our staff for recommendations and we’ll happily provide you with friendly tips.

Whether or not your tooth can be saved depends on various factors such as the amount of damage to the crown and root, as well as how quickly you seek help. Being treated immediately increases your likelihood of a successful reimplantation. In the meantime, you’ll want to:

Contact our office at your earliest convenience by calling (972) 885-3335 and we’ll do our best to salvage your tooth. If your tooth can’t be reimplanted, we may recommend tooth replacement options such as a dental implant or bridge.

Biannual professional cleanings and checkups are a necessary preventative measure to ensure your teeth and gums are in the best possible health. During your professional cleaning, we’ll make sure to scrape off any plaque or tartar that builds up in hard-to-reach areas and provide you with friendly tips on ways you can improve your oral health routine.

During your checkups, we’ll take any necessary diagnostics tests and our dentists will examine your oral health to look for any areas that may be problematic. These appointments will help us catch any issues early on so you can avoid more complicated and expensive treatments down the road.

It’s common to not show any signs of gum disease or tooth decay early on– however, if these problems are left untreated, they can have a serious impact on your oral health. With x-rays and examinations, our dentists can typically detect a cavity before you develop any symptoms.
