Texas Dentist: Calming Root Canal Fears

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Texas Dentist Calms Root Canal Fears In Dallas, Texas a dentist’s office is sometimes seen as a painful and scary place. Travis Walk Dental Care located at 4514 Travis Street, Suite 117, Dallas, TX Dallas, Texas 75205 tries to discourage that image with a classy and technologically advanced staff and qualified dentists. However, endodontic therapy, a dental procedure commonly known as a root canal, still carries a strong association with pain that sometimes keeps people from regularly visiting the dentist and tending optimally to their oral health.

When a tooth becomes badly infected or decayed, a qualified dentist in Texas can clean the inside of the tooth by removing the bacteria, soft tissue (called pulp), decayed nerve tissue, and any debris that may be causing the tooth infection from the inside of the tooth. Your qualified dentist will then seal the tooth to prevent further decay and finish by applying a crown or filling. This is the process and purpose of a root canal. The process can be completed, typically, in just a few visits to your Texas dental practice. In many cases, a root canal procedure is a better option than removing the infected tooth since it allows you to keep your natural tooth.

Teeth that are more prone to requiring a root canal procedure in the state of Texas are cracked or chipped, have received repeated dental procedures, have been damaged by trauma to the face, or are suffering from deep tooth decay. Wearing a mouth guard can help prevent damage sustained to teeth and practicing good oral hygiene habits, such as daily flossing and brushing, coupled with regular dental visits, can reduce the possibility of needing a dental root canal.

Though a root canal can be intimidating or scary, educating yourself and talking to your local dentist in the Dallas, Texas area can relieve much of your anxiety. Root canals are often not painful, and for many people the pain of the infection experienced beforehand is worse than any pain that might be experienced during the procedure, and the relief is well worth the trouble.

If you are in the Texas area you can give Travis Walk Dental Care a call at 214-522-4330 to see what we can do for your oral health.

Going to the dentist for the first time in Dallas, or if you have not been for while, can be an unsettling experience for both kids and adults. The very idea of a ‘dentist’ seems to hold negative connotation for many people. If you are an adult who is moving to the Dallas area, or your child is preparing to visit the dentist for the first time, here are a few tips that may help ease you into regular dental checkups and put you on the path toward increased oral health and wellness.

Choose a Dallas dentist who is appropriate for your needs. When you meet your new Dallas dentist for the first time, make an effort to ask questions about the care you will receive.

Get to know your Dallas dentist so you feel comfortable with the care you will receive.

Introduce yourself to your Dallas dentist and get to know the office staff. Visiting the dentist in Dallas will seem less of a chore when you feel you have trusted friends who are there to help.

Be prepared to provide your preferred dentist with information. Whether you are experiencing specific pain at that moment, or anticipating a problem, be sure to discuss everything with your dentist.

As your dentists, we need to know everything you are experiencing and will be better prepared to help as you ask questions and express your concerns.

We understand that everyone is unique; what works for one person may not work for another. You know what works best for you, and the best way to have a good experience with a Dallas dentist is to communicate. Let us know what you are experiencing so that we can make adjustments and help you feel more comfortable and secure.

Healthy Teeth and Your Dallas Diet

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Maintaining healthy teeth is an important concern for our local Dallas residents. As your dentists, it’s our job to help you understand how to care for your teeth and to keep them healthy.

Everyone in the Dallas knows that maintaining healthy teeth requires regular daily brushing and flossing. Regular visits to your local Dallas dental practice is also necessary to keep watch for cavities and to help you maintain proper dental hygiene. We often forget that maintaining a healthy diet can also be beneficial for the health of your teeth.

A Dallas diet that includes foods that help your muscles and bones will also help you develop healthy gums and healthy teeth. Examples of local Dallas foods to include in your diet include foods rich in vitamin B such as breads and cereals. Foods rich in vitamin C, usually fruits and vegetables, help improve the health of your gums. Zinc and magnesium are also good for the health of your teeth and are found in foods like lean beef, fish, and poultry.

All foods increase the production of saliva. Saliva is important to healthy teeth because it helps to maintain the pH balance in your mouth. Maintaining this balance helps keep your teeth and gums healthy. Foods high in fiber also encourage saliva production as does the chewing of sugar-free gum. Gum, however, can damage unhealthy teeth or pull out dental fillings, so always use caution when deciding whether to chew gum and which brand to chew.

Just as certain diet choices in the Dallas area can be beneficial to the health of your teeth, others can be detrimental. Foods and drinks that are high in sugars are more likely to form the acids that attack your teeth and result in decay. And while table sugar is often associated with the formation of cavities, other sugars such as glucose, fructose, and maltose are also causes, and are often found in juices and sodas. Limiting the consumption of sugars to mealtimes lessens the amount of time your healthy teeth are exposed.

Making good diet choices and limiting between meal sugar consumption can improve the health of your teeth and gums.

If you would like to learn how to better care for your healthy teeth in the Dallas area, contact Travis Walk Dental Care at 214-522-4330. We would love to hear from you.

-Drs. Miranda and Lepard
