Travis Walk Dental Care

When is the last time you had a dental checkup? Most people in the Dallas area between the ages of 18 and 100 need a dental checkup every six months. If you live in Dallas and are at higher risk for oral diseases, you should have your teeth checked every four months, or at least three times a year.

Come into our office, located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117,  in Dallas Texas, or give us a call  at 214-206-9633 to make a dental appointment. You can visit our website at www.rusmiling.com for more information.

Most people in our Dallas community are in a medium to low risk category. However if you use tobacco or alcohol, eat a lot of sugar in your diet (including lots of soda), or have poor oral hygiene habits, you are likely in a higher risk category and should have your teeth checked right away.

I look at a lot of factors to determine your personal dental hygiene, and your dental outlook for your future. I want you to have the healthiest smile possible so that you can enjoy your teeth for many years without significant problems. If you live in the Dallas area and are ready to have your teeth checked, please give Travis Walk Dental Care a call.

Our classy and technologically advanced staff will be ready to get you started with a dental checkup.

Talk to you soon.

The American Dental Association offers some welcome advice for choosing a dentist in Dallas. We have already talked about how word of mouth is an important factor in how many people find a dentist. Here are some things you should look for in an Dallas dentist:

Location is always a factor when choosing a dentist in Dallas. If you live in the Dallas Texas area, there are many options, and most Dallas locations are not too far out of the way. While location plays an important role in convenience, many people are willing to drive a little farther for a better experience with their Dallas dentist.

Relationship is a strong factor. Your Dallas dentist should be approachable, and should make you feel comfortable when you are in the dentist chair. After all, your Dallas dentist will be working very close with you to help you achieve a high level of oral hygiene; you most certainly will want to have a good, professional, comfortable relationship with your Dallas dentist and the dental office staff.

Specialty is another important factor in choosing a dentist in Dallas. Some dentists specialize in cosmetic dentistry. Others specialize in corrective dentistry such as braces. Depending on your need, you may select a local Dallas dentist who can solve your immediate concern. Bare in mind, however, that it is good to have a general dentist who can maintain your dental history and work with you to through the years.

If you are looking for a dentist in Dallas, please come by and speak with me. I can address your interest in any of these critical areas, and will be happy to introduce you to Travis Walk Dental Care.

I look forward to meeting you.

Hi, I’m dentist Dr. Miranda DDS. Most every day, I can be found at my Dallas area dental office treating dental patients with tooth and gum problems or helping patients prevent them. There are many common medical conditions that pose a risk to oral health.

1) Dallas diabetes patients with high blood glucose often have a higher risk of dental issues. If you have diabetes, let’s talk. My number is 214-206-9633.

2) A persistent dry mouth due to an inadequate amount of saliva can accelerate tooth decay, cause or contribute to gum disease, and trigger chronic bad breath. Many medications used by thousands of Dallas folks, including those for high-blood pressure and depression, cause dry mouth. This side effect is not only unpleasant, it is dangerous. Anti-depressants (especially SSRI’s) and anti-psychotic drugs can also trigger tooth-grinding (bruxism).

3) Acid reflux in children and adults is associated with a host of dental problems such as decay and periodontal disease.

I help many Ft. Worth dental patients prevent problems associated with medical conditions that sometimes seem unrelated to dental health. Regular professional dental care is essential for oral health, and an important part of your overall physical health.
