We’re back with another at Hickory Dental Care! 🦷✨
A look back at Dr. Spencer through the years- from his early days in dentistry to the seasoned clinician our patients know today. His style may have changed, but his dedication to learning, growing, and providing exceptional care has stayed constant. Every decade tells a story, and we’re grateful that his journey continues to shape the compassionate dentistry we offer our community. Then and now, one thing stays the same: Dr. Spencer’s unwavering commitment to great dentistry....and the mustache of course.

Jaw pain, clenching, and nighttime grinding can sneak up on you—and over time, they can wear down your teeth, strain your jaw muscles, and affect your sleep. The good news is that you don’t have to guess your way through the discomfort.
At Hickory Dental Care, our custom-made nightguards are crafted right here in our office for a precise, comfortable fit. Unlike store‑bought options, a custom guard is designed specifically for your bite, offering better protection, better durability, and better relief.
If you’re waking up sore or noticing signs of grinding, a simple consultation can help us pinpoint what’s going on and determine whether a nightguard is the right solution for you. We’ll walk you through everything- no pressure, just answers and support.
Your jaw deserves a break. We’re here to help you find it.

This April, we’re shining a light on Oral Cancer Awareness Month-because your health and peace of mind matter deeply to us. 🦷

Oral cancer often develops quietly, without obvious symptoms, which is why routine screenings are so important. Every time you’re in our chair, our team takes the extra step to check for early signs and keep you informed.
A few minutes of prevention can make a life‑changing difference, and we’re here to support you every step of the way!

Call us today so we can get you set up with a routine cleaning and check-up! 😊

Did you know brushing right after acidic foods can actually harm your enamel?
Citrus, soda, and vinegar-based foods temporarily soften the outer layer of your teeth. Give your smile a little time to recover- wait about 30 minutes before brushing, so you’re protecting, not scrubbing away, your enamel.
A small pause makes a big difference for long-term tooth strength!

MYTH: “Whitening damages your enamel." 👀

FACT: Professional whitening is designed to safely lift stains without weakening your enamel. When you use a dentist‑supervised system, you get brighter results and long‑term protection.

At Hickory Dental Care, our Whitening for Life program gives you a safe, effective at‑home whitening system with ongoing support- so you can maintain a healthy, confident smile year‑round. 😁

Good morning!
Keeping your smile healthy isn’t just about brushing and flossing- your body has its own built‑in defender, too. Saliva plays a huge role in protecting your teeth by neutralizing acids, washing away food particles, and helping strengthen enamel. When your mouth gets dry, that natural protection drops, making cavities more likely. Staying hydrated and choosing sugar‑free gum can give your smile the boost it needs throughout the day.

A simple tip that makes a big difference!

Modern digital X‑rays are designed with your safety in mind. In fact, everyday sources of natural radiation- even certain foods expose you to more! 🍌🦷

Throwing it way back today.... can you guess the year? 👀📸

This is Dr. Probst during his dental school days at Dalhousie University. No practice yet... just big dreams, long nights, and the foundation of everything we do today.

Good thing he stuck with it! 😉🥳
