🦷 Noticed a Loose Tooth? Don’t Ignore It.
If a tooth feels loose, shifts when you bite, or just doesn’t feel right, it’s important to pay attention—especially for adults. A loose tooth is never normal and usually means the supporting gums or bone need care.
Common causes include gum disease, teeth grinding, infection, trauma, or bone loss. Many patients are surprised to learn that a tooth can loosen without pain, which is why the issue often goes unnoticed until it worsens.
Early signs may include bleeding gums, tenderness around one tooth, changes in your bite, or a new gap forming between teeth. When addressed early, it’s often possible to stabilize the tooth and protect surrounding structures. Waiting can limit options and increase the risk of tooth loss.
At Pickett Family Dental in Keller, TX, we focus on identifying the cause and creating a plan that supports long-term tooth stability and oral health.
If something feels off with your tooth, trust that instinct. A quick evaluation can make all the difference in protecting your smile.

🦷 Do Your Teeth Hurt More in Cold Weather? Here’s Why.
If cold air or chilly drinks make your teeth ache, you’re not imagining it—and you’re definitely not alone. Tooth sensitivity during colder months is incredibly common and usually means something beneath the surface needs attention.
Cold temperatures can trigger pain when enamel has worn down, gums have receded, or small cracks or old fillings allow temperature changes to reach the nerves inside your teeth. Cold weather can also make sinus pressure and dry mouth worse, which adds to sensitivity and discomfort.
Many patients are surprised to learn that even mild sensitivity can signal early issues like grinding, gum inflammation, or beginning decay. Catching these problems early helps prevent more serious pain or damage later.
If your teeth hurt when you step outside, breathe cold air, or sip something cool, it’s worth paying attention. Sensitivity isn’t something you should just live with—it’s your mouth’s way of asking for care.
A dental exam can identify what’s causing the discomfort and help protect your teeth before small problems become painful ones. Cold weather shouldn’t take the joy out of your smile.

🦷 Caring for Your Teeth When You Have an Autoimmune Disease

Living with an autoimmune condition can affect more than your joints, skin, or energy levels—it can also impact your oral health. Many patients experience dry mouth, sensitive gums, frequent cavities, or delayed healing without realizing these issues are connected to their condition or medications.

At Pickett Family Dental in Keller, TX, we provide thoughtful, personalized care for patients with autoimmune diseases. Our approach focuses on prevention, comfort, and protecting your teeth and gums long term. Regular cleanings, fluoride protection, and gentle techniques help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of decay.

We also take time to understand your health history and medications so dental care can align with your overall wellness. Small adjustments in home care and professional treatment can make a big difference in comfort and confidence.

If you’ve noticed changes in your oral health or struggle with dry mouth or gum sensitivity, you’re not alone—and support is available. With the right care, it’s absolutely possible to maintain a healthy, comfortable smile while managing an autoimmune condition.

🦷 What Happens When You Don’t Go to the Dentist?

Skipping dental visits might seem harmless—especially when nothing hurts—but many dental problems start quietly and grow over time. At Pickett Family Dental in Keller, TX, we often see small issues turn into painful, expensive problems simply because routine care was delayed.

Without regular cleanings, plaque hardens into tartar that brushing can’t remove. This buildup increases your risk for cavities, gum disease, and chronic bad breath. Cavities can grow silently, and gum disease can progress without pain until teeth become loose or infected.

Over time, untreated dental problems can affect how you chew, how your teeth align, and even your overall health. Many patients are surprised to learn that oral infections and inflammation are linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes complications.

The good news? It’s never too late to get back on track. Regular exams and cleanings help catch problems early, protect your smile, and prevent emergency situations.

If it’s been a while since your last visit, now is the perfect time to restart preventive care and protect your smile for the future.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦😁 Your Child’s Smile Needs Protection—From the Very Start

A healthy smile plays a big role in your child’s growth, confidence, and overall well-being. From learning how to speak clearly to enjoying their favorite foods, strong teeth matter more than many parents realize. At Pickett Family Dental in Keller, TX, we focus on protecting children’s smiles early so small issues don’t become big problems later.

Baby teeth guide jaw development, hold space for adult teeth, and help prevent future crowding. Regular dental visits allow us to monitor growth, spot cavities early, and support healthy habits while kids are still learning how to care for their teeth.

Preventive care like cleanings, fluoride, and sealants helps protect teeth during cavity-prone years. We also help parents understand how nutrition, brushing habits, and common childhood behaviors can impact developing smiles.

Most importantly, positive early dental experiences help children feel comfortable and confident visiting the dentist as they grow.
Protecting your child’s smile today supports healthier teeth, fewer dental issues, and more confident smiles tomorrow. Early care truly makes a lasting difference.

Oral Cancer Screening: A Simple Step That Can Make a Big Difference

Oral cancer often develops without early symptoms, which is why routine screening is such an important part of preventive dental care. At Pickett Family Dental in Keller, TX, we include oral cancer screening during regular exams to help detect potential concerns as early as possible.

The screening is quick, gentle, and non-invasive. We carefully examine the lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, and throat for changes that aren’t always easy to notice on your own. Many early warning signs are painless, making professional evaluation essential.

Oral cancer screening benefits every adult—not just smokers. Anyone can be affected, and early detection greatly improves outcomes. Patients often tell us they appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing their dentist is looking beyond teeth and gums to protect their overall health.

If it’s been a while since your last exam, now is a great time to schedule a visit. Preventive care goes further when screening is part of your routine—and your health is always worth protecting.

🦷😁 Improve Your Smile — and Your Life — With Dental Implant Dentures

If you’re tired of loose dentures, sore spots, or avoiding certain foods, dental implant dentures can completely change how you live day to day. At Pickett Family Dental in Keller, TX, we help patients replace missing teeth with implant-supported dentures that feel secure, natural, and comfortable.

Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant dentures are anchored to dental implants in the jawbone. This means no slipping, no adhesives, and no constant adjustments. Patients love being able to chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile without worry.

Implant dentures also support jawbone health, helping prevent the bone loss and facial sagging that often occur with long-term denture use. The result is a smile that looks more natural and feels far more stable.

Many patients tell us the biggest change isn’t just physical—it’s emotional. They feel more confident, social, and at ease in everyday moments.

If you’ve been settling for dentures that limit your lifestyle, it may be time to explore a solution designed to restore comfort and confidence for the long term.

🦷 Impacted Wisdom Teeth: What You Should Know

Wisdom teeth don’t always grow in the way they’re supposed to. When there isn’t enough space, they can become impacted, leading to pain, swelling, infections, and damage to nearby teeth. At Pickett Family Dental in Keller, TX, we help patients treat impacted wisdom teeth early to prevent bigger problems later.

Some people feel symptoms right away, while others don’t notice anything at first. Common signs include jaw soreness, gum tenderness, bad breath, difficulty opening your mouth, or pressure near the back teeth. Even without pain, impacted wisdom teeth can quietly cause issues under the surface.

Our approach starts with a detailed exam and digital X-rays to see exactly how your wisdom teeth are positioned. When removal is recommended, treatment is planned carefully with comfort, safety, and smooth healing in mind.

Addressing impacted wisdom teeth early often means easier treatment and faster recovery. If you’ve been feeling discomfort—or just want peace of mind—it may be time for an evaluation.

Dry Mouth Isn’t a Dental Failure—It’s Usually a Medication Issue

Many patients are surprised to learn that dry mouth often isn’t something that can be “fixed” with a simple treatment. In reality, the most common cause we see is polypharmacy—taking multiple medications that reduce saliva as a side effect. Blood pressure meds, anxiety medications, sleep aids, and even supplements can all contribute.

At Pickett Family Dental in Keller, TX, our focus is education. We help patients understand why their mouth is dry and what that means for their teeth. Saliva is your mouth’s natural defense system, and when it’s reduced, cavities and gum issues can develop quickly—even with good brushing habits.

While we can’t tell patients to stop medications prescribed by their physician, we can help counteract the effects. That may include recommending gentle products like nano silver mouth rinses and adjusting home care to better protect teeth in a dry mouth environment.

Dry mouth isn’t something to ignore—but it’s also not your fault. With the right knowledge and preventive approach, you can protect your smile for the long term.
