We recommend a soft bristle brush for the optimal health of your gums. We also suggest a small-headed brush to get around each tooth more thoroughly.
Yes, it is important to floss daily, because flossing removes plaque between teeth where it is hard for a toothbrush to reach. A major contributing factor to gum disease is caused by not flossing.
For optimal oral health, we recommend that you find a dentist get a dental cleaning and exam every six months. An oral exam consists of examining your teeth, removing plaque, potentially taking x-rays, along with a deep tooth cleaning (light scaling) and polish.
Unfortunately, most people that have gum disease are unaware of it. Because gum disease is painless as it begins, it is crucial to schedule regular dental exams. Symptoms of gum disease include consistent bad breath, receding gums, red or bleeding gums, new spaces between teeth, and loose teeth. If you have a concern about gum disease, we recommend you make an appointment at our dental office.
There are many products and methods available to whiten teeth. However, we recommend professional teeth whitening as the best way to improve your smile. Contact our dental office today, to find out more information about teeth whitening and if it's right for you.
Silver amalgam fillings eventually need to be replaced. The average lifespan of a silver filling varies due to its leakage, breakdown, or recurrent decay. During your scheduled appointment with us, we can tell when they need to be replaced. Replacing your fillings with white filling materials, porcelain inlays, or crowns and veneers can give you the beautiful long lasting smile you are seeking.
Please make sure that you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointments so that you can provide us with the necessary paper and insurance information. To save time, you may fill your patient registration HERE.
We do set aside a certain time during the day for emergency dentist visits. However, if you are having an emergency, please dial 911.
We require 24 hours notice to cancel all appointments. Please be sure to contact us if you will not be able to make your scheduled appointment to avoid being charged for the visit.

I want to thank Doctor Wilson and her staff for making my daughter feel so comfortable while she is getting her teeth done. My daughter was nervous about seeing a dentist but feels good at seeing Doctor Wilson. She is great with kids. Thank you, Doctor Wilson.
