Dentistry in Sugar Land, TX

General Dentistry

We want our patients to enjoy fabulous smiles that last for life, so our general dentists encourage patient education and thorough preventive care. Periodontics, the study of supporting structures within and around the mouth, has much to do with a healthy mouth and clean breath. Our hygienists can explain and demonstrate how to properly perform dental homecare and give you input about which products would work best.

Another issue that we watch for, even more serious than bad breath, is periodontal disease, also known as gum disease. Many people do not experience pain from gum disease, only slight redness, swelling, or bleeding while brushing their teeth. Left untreated, periodontal disease can escalate to cause tooth loosening and loss, gum recession, and pain, and it's also linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes complications, and low-birth-weight babies or preterm births.

Our general dentists will perform a complete assessment of your teeth and gums to check for any issues. If we detect problems, Dr. Davey or Dr. Wheeler will devise a plan to treat your mouth and restore your oral health.

Call our Sugar Land dental office today for your comprehensive examination and consultation with Dr. Davey or Dr. Wheeler. We welcome residents of Sugar Land, Houston, Katy, Richmond, and the surrounding areas to our practice.

According to a study at the University of Connecticut, too much toothpaste early in life is responsible for more than 70% of fluorosis cases (staining or mottling of tooth enamel that develops when children swallow fluoridated toothpaste). Although this problem is only cosmetic, it is recommended children under six only use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and be reminded to spit it out after brushing.
