This time of the year is filled with lots of WANTS but we would like to make sure everyone has the resources to fulfill their dental health NEEDS. If stress, finances, or maybe even resources have held you back from making it to the dentist, we have dedicated a day to limiting those worries. We would love to assist as many people as possible on this day but please recognize our capacity is limited to a certain number of appointments. So, if you have that gut instinct to reach out or share with someone you know, do it quickly! Email [email protected] naming your concerns, maybe questions if you have them and let’s plan to see you on November 16th!

Comment or DM questions! Share with those who might benefit from ✨GIVING DAY!✨

Here at Central Dentist we utilize the iTero scanner to build a 3D Model of tooth surfaces and gum tissue. The uncomfortable mess of “old-school” putty-filled impressions is so last week. With the iTero, patients are able to breathe and swallow naturally while viewing the 3D scans alongside our team.

This scan is taken at each visit so we can precisely evaluate changes in your teeth and mouth. For those who aren’t established patients with us yet, it is included in our new patient visit! So call (214)368-0900 and reserve an appointment today!

It is so important you know we are self aware queens here at Central Dentist and understand that we are not perfect (for those of you who said “WHAT” aloud, thank you). However, we do take pride in trying to be the best versions of ourselves.

We aim to give patients an experience that resolves any worries they might have walking in the door and walk out with more oral health knowledge than they had before.

Our staff attends regular trainings to assist in better communication and scheduling. And although no one loves a bad review, we acknowledge experiences that we can grow from.

We are so grateful to have patients that are willing to share their experience with us with others.

Let this be your sign to call and make an appointment for your first visit or routine cleaning if you haven’t been to the dentist in a while. If I were you I’d call Central Dentist but I may be biased. *wink wink*

Call us, reserve an appointment, color in the lobby, and take control of your oral health! Please message us if you have questions or call our office.

What does MI Paste do?
The minerals in MI Paste make it difficult for the bacteria in plaque to adhere to the tooth surfaces. MI Paste is found to strengthen teeth, be effective in helping with sensitivity, acid erosion and aide in assisting patients who have a high incidence of dental decay.

• This product has been used to help patients who have white spots or other minor tooth discoloration which is typically caused by lack of calcium.
• It restores the oral mineral imbalance that causes demineralization by replacing minerals while improving saliva flow.
• MI Paste can benefit patients who have dry mouth due to medication, are undergoing chemotherapy, expectant mothers who experience an abundance of morning sickness, or children with disabilities that have trouble brushing.

How to use MI Paste?
After brushing with your typical toothpaste (we recommend fluoride-free), use a separate applicator (toothbrush, finger, cotton swab, etc., whatever is available to you) with a pea-size amount and apply to the surface of your teeth. Leave the paste on, undisturbed, for a minimum of 3 minutes. Do not rinse the product off. Leave on between meals or overnight.

If we missed a question or concern, ask away in the comments!

This image was achieved by CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography). These static images are a process of our Airway Analysis here at Central Dentist.

The top image is using colors to reflect how narrow this airway is. For those of us new to CBCT scans, this narrow airway, with lots of red, is ❌NOT❌ the goal.

This is a patient who chose traditional orthodontics(braces) to straighten their teeth. During the course of treatment the teeth were pushed back restricting the airway.

Would you like to know what other options this patient could’ve had?

We truly want our patients to have a great experience from paperwork in the lobby to their dental visit with our clinical team!

Did you know💡

• We have word searches & coloring sheets in the lobby to relieve the stress that can sometimes come from waiting (or let’s keep it real ~ bored kiddos).

• We have a Comfort Menu patients can utilize to help make their visit more relaxed.

The Central Dentist team is so grateful to have patients that are willing to share their experience with us with others.

OralID is a simple examination that can be done in less than 5 minutes at any visit in our office. OralID is a small, non-invasive device that uses blue light to detect oral cancer and precancerous abnormalities. The blue light is shined into the mouth presenting healthy tissue as green, while abnormal tissue appears dark.

Having yourself screened for oral cancer at your next dental visit is a great way to be proactive and stay in tune with where your body is at in your overall health journey.

Not all cases of oral cancer can be prevented, but the risk of developing these cancers can be greatly reduced if you avoid some/or all risk factors.

We have listed a couple things that you can do now to help prevent oral cancer.

• avoid all forms of to***co
• manage overconsumption of alcohol
• protect yourself from UV light exposure (use sunscreen)
• maintain a healthy diet by limiting processed foods
• maintain oral hygiene
• see your dentist regularly

We don’t want you to be perfect, we just want you to be healthy! Let us know how we can help.

Why start treatment early?

• headaches
• bed wetting
• mouth breathing (while sleeping)
• grinding teeth
• ADHD
• snoring

These are SOME of the symptoms that children with poor oral habits and malocclusion may have due to a restricted airway and limited ability to breathe.

Have you been experiencing adverse health effects but haven’t been able to determine the cause?

Mercury taken into the body can accumulate in essentially any organ, which means an Amalgam Filling could be causing your symptoms. Side effects and reactions to the mercury in these fillings will vary by person due to every individual having unique risk factors.

Central Dentist practices The Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) and would love to be a part of removing toxins that are deterring your health journey.

Mercury is considered to be one of the top ten chemical to threaten your health. Especially children in utero and early life are affected and need to be prot...

Deciding what filling material to use to treat dental decay is a choice that should be made by you and your dentist. The information we share is to provide you with the options we choose; The Central Dentist Way. Do you have amalgam fillings or did you have them removed? What was your experience?
