Sweet Smiles Family Dentistry

Sweet Smiles Family Dentistry We are a full service dental office providing quality care to all ages. We offer many different services including braces and Invisalign.

Welcome to Sweet Smiles Family Dentistry, the office of Dr. Alison Fitzgerald. We understand that visiting the dentist is not everybody's favorite thing to do. Some people feel embarrassed or ashamed, others have a fear of not knowing what we will find. Rest assured, not all people with good oral hygiene have perfect teeth and not all people with terrible hygiene have bad teeth. We won't judge you because we know that it is all about susceptibility, and not about neglect. Even our friends and family have had their fair share of dental conditions. When we treat your dental conditions, we treat them like you are our friends and family. We are on your side and want to help you have the best health possible.

National Ice Cream Cone Day is a great time to enjoy a classic dessert, but for some, the chill of a cone brings an unwelcome sting.

Tooth sensitivity can result from worn enamel, receding gums, or underlying dental concerns. Solutions like dental bonding or special toothpaste can reduce discomfort and let you enjoy your favorite scoop with ease.

Nighttime teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can wear down enamel, cause jaw pain, and even lead to broken teeth.

A custom-fitted mouthguard from your dentist offers the best protection, but there are also over-the-counter options that can help. Knowing which type is right for you can make a big difference in protecting your smile while you sleep.

Have you or someone you know ever tried a night guard for teeth grinding? We'd love to know all about it!

DIY orthodontics might sound like a quick and cheap solution, but it can actually cause serious damage to your teeth and gums.

Without a professional dentist or orthodontist guiding treatment, you risk misalignment, tooth loss, and long-term oral health issues. A healthy smile is worth expert care and supervision.

It’s National Cheese Pizza Day! 🍕 🧀

Did you know cheese could be a tooth-friendly treat? Packed with calcium and phosphorus, it helps fortify enamel, and it naturally counteracts acids that can cause cavities.

Including cheese in your meals can be a simple and enjoyable way to support oral health, especially when paired with regular brushing and flossing.

Electric flossers are becoming more popular as an alternative to traditional string floss.

These gadgets use water or air pressure to clean between teeth and along the gumline, making them a great option for people who find regular flossing tricky.

While they may not replace string floss completely, they can be very effective in reducing plaque and improving gum health.

Have you tried an electric flosser yet? Tell us what you think about them in the comments!

That zing you feel from hot coffee, ice cream, or something sweet typically happens when enamel wears down or gums recede, exposing the softer layer of your teeth called dentin.

This layer has tiny tubules that connect to the nerves inside your teeth, making them react to temperature or sugar. Using a sensitivity toothpaste, practicing gentle brushing, and keeping up with dental checkups can all help manage the discomfort.

Have you ever noticed your teeth react more to hot or cold drinks? Tell us about it below.

Tooth decay can be sneaky, as many cavities don’t cause any discomfort when they first begin!

That’s why regular dental visits are so important. Checkups allow your dentist to spot small issues early, before they grow into bigger, more troublesome problems.

While some mouthwashes simply mask bad breath, others actually protect your oral health!

The best options are alcohol-free and contain fluoride or antibacterial ingredients to help fight cavities and gum disease. Choosing the right rinse can make a big difference in keeping your smile healthy and fresh.
