Love, love the results on this under eye (tear trough) case 😍 Call Dr. Atkinson for consultation 903.792.0760 👀

Under-eye filler, also known as tear trough filler, is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of dark circles, hollowness, and under-eye bags.

The procedure typically involves injecting a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler into the under-eye area to add volume, smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek, and create a more rested, youthful appearance.

I love chin tox!!! Sometimes the chin will be dimpled or rolls in from strong muscles. A little tox can relax your chin and give you the appearance of a longer face. As we age our distance between nose and chin shrinks giving us an older appearance. If we can lengthen that a little by relaxing muscles we tend to look more youthful!!😃

Dry mouth (also called xerostomia) contributes to tooth decay in several important ways. Saliva plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health, and when it’s lacking, the risk of dental problems increases significantly.

Here’s how dry mouth leads to tooth decay:

1. Loss of Saliva’s Protective Effects
• Saliva neutralizes acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. Without enough saliva, these acids are free to erode tooth enamel.
• It helps wash away food particles and debris that feed bacteria. A dry mouth allows this debris to linger, promoting bacterial growth.
• Saliva contains minerals like calcium and phosphate that help repair early tooth damage (remineralization). Dry mouth stops this natural repair process.

2. Increased Bacterial Growth
• A dry environment in the mouth favors harmful bacteria over beneficial ones.
• This imbalance can accelerate the formation of plaque, a sticky film that produces acid and leads to decay.

3. More Frequent and Severe Cavities
• People with dry mouth often develop multiple cavities, especially around the gum line or on the roots of teeth.
• Cavities tend to progress more rapidly when the mouth is dry, making early treatment critical.

4. Gum Disease Risk
• While not directly causing decay, dry mouth increases the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis, which can make it harder to maintain healthy teeth and further contribute to decay.

Common Causes of Dry Mouth:
• Medications (antidepressants, antihistamines, blood pressure drugs)
• Aging
• Radiation therapy (especially for head and neck cancer)
• Medical conditions (e.g., Sjögren’s syndrome, diabetes)

Tips to Prevent Tooth Decay from Dry Mouth:
• Sip water frequently
• Use sugar-free gum or lozenges to stimulate saliva
• Avoid sugary or acidic foods and drinks
• Use fluoride toothpaste and possibly prescription-strength fluoride
• Talk to a dentist about saliva substitutes or medications to increase saliva production

On the left patient came in with pain from clenching. She would get headaches daily. We treated her masseter muscles with neuromodulators. They were hyperactive.
On the right she was pain free, no more headaches and you can see some sliming of the face. If you think your masseter muscles are hyperactive and think you might be clenching give Dr. Atkinson a call 903.792.0760 #

Sometimes we feel like we look tired or have bags or discoloration under our eyes 👀. It’s not just 1 modality that makes us look better. We have done temples, under eyes and cheeks. It’s a process, not something you fix in 1 day!!! Love my beautiful ladies!! 🫶🏼

You’re never too old to fix your smile. This patient wanted crowns, but her bite was too closed. I used Invisalign to open her bite, now she is ready for a new beautiful smile. 😊
