Periodontal Disease in Texas

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Periodontal Disease in Texas Periodontal disease in Texas is more common than you might think, and can be cured with varying degrees of treatment depending on the severity.

What is periodontal disease? According to this article on Wikipedia, periodontal disease is ‘the name of a collection of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues that surround and support the teeth.’

Periodontal disease, more commonly called ‘gum disease’, is an inflammation or infection of the gums. Periodontal disease can be very painful in some extreme conditions, and can limit your ability to eat normally. In some cases, periodontal disease can affect your smile, and can create cosmetic dental concerns.

If left untreated, periodontal disease can cause irreversible damage. When caught early and treated, periodontal disease can be little more than an inconvenience. However the best policy is to practice good dental hygiene to keep periodontal disease at bay.

One of the best ways to avoid periodontal disease is to get a regular dental check up at your local Houston dentist.

Give us a call at (281) 571-3760 to schedule your next dental checkup; we look forward to seeing you.

— Dr. J. Scott Anderson

Houston Tooth Whitening Tooth whitening in Houston is easy, affordable, and pain free. If you are looking for tooth whitening in the Cypress area, including Houston, please give our practice a call at (281) 571-3760; we are ready to help you navigate the options.

Today the media is full of at-home remedies and tooth whitening systems. Unfortunately not all of these systems are very safe or effective. Professional tooth whitening from your Houston cosmetic dentist is the best option for a brighter, whiter smile.

Questions To Ask Your Houston Dentist

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Questions To Ask Your Houston Dentist Sometimes we research our Houston mechanic or Cypress hairdresser more thoroughly than our Houston dental professional. Shouldn’t your dental care be far more important than the condition of your car or the style of your hair? At Willowbrook Dental Care, we love to answer questions about your teeth. You should be asking your Texas dentist any question you have about the care and status of your teeth.

For instance, you may have questions about the school of dentistry and dental specialties studied. Though important, dentistry school is not the only place to gain dental experience, however. Dr. J. Scott Anderson has been performing complex Texas dental procedures for several years in addition to his schooling.

You should also be asking about the dentistry specialties your Cypress dentist offers such as tooth restoration, braces and lumineers. These services may not be important to you now, but it is a good idea to have an understanding of your options, and to know what your Cypress dentist has to offer.

If you are contemplating smile restoration, tooth implants, or tooth whitening, evaluate Cypress cosmetic dentistry options with your dentist. Look at before and after pictures, and ask your Cypress dentist what procedures may be right for you.

General dentists offer a variety of Cypress dental services such as tooth extractions and tooth fillings, and can treat every member of the family. At Willowbrook Dental Care, we specialize in cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers and dental implants.

You have many choices for your Houston family dentistry. We welcome questions about all aspects of our Willowbrook Dental Care practice. Visit us at 17350 State Highway 249, Ste. 200, Houston, TX in Houston and talk to a member of our technically advanced and friendly team.

Houston Dental Emergencies

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Houston Dental Emergencies Many people will experience at least one tooth emergency in their life. You could break a tooth playing a sport, accidentally dislodge a crown, experience sudden pain caused by an abscess or break a wire on your braces. In the case of a dental emergency, see your Houston dentist as soon as possible!

Following are some immediate treatments:
Broken Tooth: Save any tooth fragments. Rinse mouth with warm water. If the area is bleeding, apply a piece of gauze. A cold compress held on the cheek can reduce swelling and lessen pain. Visit your Houston dentist as soon as you can.

Lost Filling: Save the filling if you can. It can help your dentist determine why it came out. Do not let food get stuck in the hole left by the filling. Do not chew on the tooth. Brush it gently. Call your Houston dentist’s office to schedule an emergency appointment right away.

Displaced Crowns: If there is pain, you may apply a dab of clove oil with a Q-tip to the affected tooth (a common home remedy that may reduce pain). Save the crown. If you can’t see your Houston dentist immediately, you can apply dental cement (available at drugstores) or denture adhesive to temporarily re-attach the crown until you can get to your Houston dentist. Do not use other types of glue or adhesive.

By visiting your Houston dentist as soon as possible, you avoid pain, infection and possible further tooth damage. If you delay treatment, even for a few days, you risk needing more extensive treatment later.

For dental emergencies in and around Houston, call Dr. J. Scott Anderson at Willowbrook Dental Care. Our phone number is (281) 571-3760

Choosing A Dentist In Houston

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Choosing A Dentist In Houston

The American Dental Association offers some welcome advice for choosing a dentist in Houston. We have already talked about how word of mouth is an important factor in how many people find a dentist. Here are some things you should look for in a Houston dentist:

Location is always a factor when choosing a dentist in Houston. If you live in the Houston Texas area, there are many options, and most Houston locations are not too far out of the way. While location plays an important role in convenience, many people are willing to drive a little farther for a better experience with their Houston dentist.

Relationship is a strong factor. Your Houston dentist should be approachable, and should make you feel comfortable when you are in the dentist chair. After all, your Houston dentist will be working very close with you to help you achieve a high level of oral hygiene; you most certainly will want to have a good, professional, comfortable relationship with your Houston dentist and the dental office staff.

Specialty is another important factor in choosing a dentist in Houston. Some dentists specialize in cosmetic dentistry. Others specialize in corrective dentistry such as braces. Depending on your need, you may select a local Houston dentist who can solve your immediate concern. Bare in mind, however, that it is good to have a general dentist who can maintain your dental history and work with you to through the years.

If you are looking for a dentist in Houston, please come by and speak with me. I can address your interest in any of these critical areas, and will be happy to introduce you to Willowbrook Dental Care.

I look forward to meeting you.

The Dangers of Oral Piercing

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

The Dangers of Oral Piercing If you live in the Houston area and are considering puncturing your lip or tongue, read this:

Infection
Your mouth is full of bacteria. Any opening in the tissue carries the risk of infection. The germs from your tongue and mouth can easily get into your bloodstream. Houston dentists and doctors are continually treating serious infections caused by oral piercings. Oral infections can be a real problem, and should be a major consideration before getting an oral piercing.

Tooth Damage
It should come as no surprise that having a piece of metal bang around in your mouth can easily chip tooth enamel. Though tooth enamel is amazingly strong, once it’s chipped or cracked, it can only be restored with artificial material. Fortunately, Willowbrook Dental Care in Houston offers many tooth restoration options such as crowns and fillings, but our advice is to avoid the problem if you can.

Prolonged Bleeding and Swelling
The blood vessels in the tongue are often damaged when the tongue is pierced, causing prolonged bleeding and possible build-up of scar tissue. In some cases, the tongue swells up enough to block the airway.

Gum Recession
A number of periodontal disease studies have shown that wearing oral jewelry is linked to periodontal disease which can result in tooth loss. Periodontal disease, or ‘gum disease’, can cause gum recession and exposes the root of your teeth, potentially causing hyper sensitivity and pain. Again, our advice is to avoid the problem right from the start.

These are just a few of the dangers. Dr. J. Scott Anderson at Willowbrook Dental Care can give you more information about the risks of oral piercings. If you already have damage, call (281) 571-3760 to schedule a consultation.

Preventing Tooth Decay in Texas

Preventing Tooth Decay in Texas

In , tooth decay is one of the most common childhood problems, yet tooth decay also affect adults. Willowbrook Dental Care serves people from 20 to 80 years old to help fight tooth decay.

Bacteria are a common cause of tooth decay. Bacteria live in your mouth and combine with plaque and acids to break down the enamel coating on your teeth. The breakdown of your tooth enamel can often result in the development of small holes in your teeth which are known as cavities. The breaking down of your tooth enamel in is known as tooth decay, and it is a serious dental problem for children and adults in Texas.

Texas tooth decay is typically a result of diet and oral hygiene choices. When sticky foods are consumed and allowed to sit on the teeth, or foods full of sugars and starches are consumed frequently throughout the day, tooth decay can result. Foods to avoid include soda and sugary chewing gum; these foods tend to stay around for a while and create an environment where bacteria thrive. To help prevent tooth decay, simply limit sugary and starchy foods between meals. Also, brushing at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, flossing at least once a day, and visiting your local Houston dentist in Texas for regular check ups and cleanings will help prevent tooth decay.

Hello, my name is Dr. J. Scott Anderson, and I am a Dentist. I work at Willowbrook Dental Care located at 17350 State Highway 249, Ste. 200, in Houston, Texas . Tooth decay is a preventable dental problem, and I can help. Visit me at ; I will be happy to meet you, and to give you an idea of the many ways we can help you prevent tooth decay and avoid a more costly or even painful ailment.

We at specialize in and would be happy to discuss with you any health concerns related to your teeth. Give us a call at (281) 571-3760.

Tooth Whitening Dentistry In Houston

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Tooth Whitening Dentistry In Houston

Tooth whitening has really taken off in Houston. It has become a popular dental procedure and can provide excellent results if done properly.

There are a lot of options when it comes to tooth whitening. You can choose from a selection of over-the-counter options that you can get at your local pharmacy, or can go to a professional to get a complete tooth whitening solution.

It is a good idea to consult with your dentist before a tooth whitening, regardless of whether you choose to use an over-the-counter product. Your dentist will be able to help you understand the results you can expect, and can help recommend a product that will work for you.

There are many variables when it comes to tooth whitening. The color of your teeth at the beginning of your treatment will make a difference for your ending result. Different tooth whitening treatments will each produce a different result. Your Houston dentist has experience with tooth coloration and the types of treatments available.

In many cases, your Houston dentist will be able to provide you with a tooth whitening solution that you can take home with you. In some cases, your Houston dentist may recommend a professional treatment that is done at the dentist’s office.

Professional tooth whitening can produce dramatic results in a single treatment, and is often done over a few treatments.

Tooth whitening is less expensive than it was in the earlier days of tooth whitening technology. Today, tooth whitening treatments are very affordable, and don’t take the time they used to.

If you are interested in a tooth whitening consultation in the Houston area, please call Willowbrook Dental Care and make an appointment to see me. I will be happy to give you a check up, assess your tooth color, and recommend tooth whitening treatments that may be right for you.
