Even if a lost filling is not causing pain, your tooth should still be evaluated. Teeth rely on fillings to stay strong and sealed against bacteria. Addressing the issue early can help maintain your oral health and prevent more extensive treatment later. If you notice a rough edge or a gap where a filling used to be, we are here to help. Call our office at +1 636-464-2200 to schedule an appointment.

Your hygienist will also review brushing and flossing techniques to help you maintain results between visits. Preventive care plays an important role in long-term oral health. Call our office at +1 636-464-2200 to schedule an appointment.

Ever wonder why sipping ice water can make your tooth zing? That sensation doesn’t come from the outside of the tooth itself, but from what’s happening deep inside. Tiny channels within the tooth, called dentin tubules, transmit changes that activate nerves, turning temperature shifts into sharp discomfort. It’s a microscopic process with a very noticeable reaction. If you're experiencing this kind of sensitivity, call +1 636-464-2200 to schedule a checkup.

Your gums can tell when you’ve been “too busy” to floss. Flossing removes plaque from places your toothbrush can’t reach, helping reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease. Just one minute of flossing daily can help remove plaque in hard-to-reach spots and support long-term oral health. Consistency in flossing makes a difference. Call us +1 636-464-2200 to schedule a checkup and keep your smile healthy.

Mouthwash is a helpful addition for fresh breath and bacteria control, but it doesn’t replace brushing and flossing. Think of it as a supplement, not a shortcut. For optimal oral health, routine care is key! Call us at +1 636-464-2200 for personal recommendations.
