Picture the following scenario: You are stretched out in a chair at your dentist office 
holding a remote as you try to tune into your favorite Texas radio station. A woman clips a paper bib around your neck. Someone switches on a bright overhead light and you see latex-gloved hands moving toward your open mouth. You close your eyes.
As you read this, does your heart start to race? Are your palms sweaty?
If so, you may be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. Oral sedation benefits nervous dental patients in Flower Mound every day. Moderate sedation is used for all types of dental procedures such as root canals, dental implants, and wisdom teeth removal. If you are considering extensive restorative or cosmetic dental work, conscious sedation may allow your Flower Mound dentist to complete multiple procedures in a single visit.
Don’t let fear prevent you from getting the dental treatment you need. Schedule a visit with Dr. Steven Titensor to learn about conscious sedation dentistry.

We’re your lifelong dental health partner
Hi, I’m Dentist Dr. Steven Titensor, DDS. Most every day, I can be found at my
Flower Mound area dental office treating dental patients with tooth and gum problems or helping patients prevent them. There are many common medical conditions that pose a risk to oral health.
1) Flower Mound diabetes patients with high blood glucose often have a higher risk of dental issues. If you have diabetes, let’s talk. My number is (972) 355-9545.
2) A persistent dry mouth due to an inadequate amount of saliva can accelerate tooth decay, cause or contribute to gum disease, and trigger chronic bad breath. Many medications used by thousands of Texas folks, including those for high-blood pressure and depression, cause dry mouth. This side effect is not only unpleasant, it is dangerous. Anti-depressants (especially SSRI’s) and anti-psychotic drugs can also trigger tooth-grinding (bruxism).
3) Acid reflux in children and adults is associated with a host of dental problems such as decay and periodontal disease.
I help many dental patients prevent problems associated with medical conditions that sometimes seem unrelated to dental health. Regular professional dental care is essential for oral health, and an important part of your overall physical health.

For years, the American Academy of Pediatrics advised Texas parents to begin 
children’s dentist visits before the third birthday. The AAP now advises Flower Mound parents to take their toddler to a Texas dentist before their first birthday, or about six months after their first tooth appears.
Why? Prevention, prevention, prevention! Sadly, Flower Mound dentists find advanced tooth decay in very young children.
High-risk children should be seen as early as possible. Following are some of the risk factors:
- Sleeping with a bottle
- Drinking juice continually during the day
- Abnormal tooth development
- Thumb sucking
- Tooth grinding
- A mother with significant tooth decay
- Other health problems
To talk to us about pediatric dentistry, call (972) 355-9545. Dentist Dr. Steven Titensor at Titensor Dentistry can advise you on your next steps for your pediatric dentistry. We also pamper busy Flower Mound parents who come to Titensor Dentistry for general and cosmetic dentistry. If you are between the ages of 20 and 80, we would love to provide you with the most advanced dental care in Flower Mound.

Our most popular procedure is cosmetic dentistry, and many of our patient may not know that we offer sedation dentistry.
There is a tooth connection that links osteoporosis and oral health. If you are a woman, 
you have probably heard about the high rate of osteoporosis in America. The state of Texas is no exception. Osteoporosis can often progress without any outward symptoms. However, there may be clues in a person’s mouth that indicate compromised bones in the rest of the body.
The following dental and periodontal issues could indicate the presence of osteoporosis:
- Gum detachment
- Ill-fitting dentures
- Jaw bone recession and erosion
- Difficulty with ordinary mouth function such as eating or speaking
There are many Flower Mound dental professionals that can determine the presence of bone deterioration with x-rays and other diagnostic tools. If we suspect the possibility of osteoporosis, we can refer you to a local medical professional, whether you live in Coppell, Lewisville or Flower Mound.
At Steven Titensor DDS we are trained in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the oral health problems sometimes associated with osteoporosis. Schedule a consultation in Flower Mound by calling (972) 355-9545 and we can discuss your dental concerns. While you are here, we can also tell you about the cosmetic dental services we provide. Aesthetic dentistry continues to improve smiles for our friends and neighbors in the Flower Mound area.
If you suspect you may be suffering from osteoporosis, please see your physician right away. While your dentist can help identify some of the symptoms associated with osteoporosis, you should not rely on your dentist to provide a diagnosis of osteoporosis.
When a tooth is threatened by severe decay, periodontal disease, or damage from
an injury, a skilled Flower Mound dentist or endodontist must make a judgment call concerning the course of treatment. If the pulp of the tooth is infected or inflamed, a root canal is often the only way to save the tooth.
Steven Titensor DDS: (972) 355-9545
During a root canal procedure (or endodontic treatment) the soft tissue in the root of the tooth is removed. This tissue contains veins, arteries and lymph vessels. Once the roots are cleaned out and widened, they are filled with a special rubber material. The root canal is only the first step in the complete tooth restoration. After the root canal, without a crown, the tooth will become dry and brittle. The final steps are the core build up and crown.
At Steve Titensor DDS, we fabricate strong, natural-looking crowns that blend perfectly with the surrounding teeth. With proper oral hygiene and regular visits to a Flower Mound dentist, a tooth with a filled root can often function problem-free for the rest of a patient’s life.
I am Dentist Dr. Steven Titensor. I have been practicing dentistry since 1986. During that time I have seen hundreds of teeth saved by this effective dental procedure. Root canal therapy at Steve Titensor DDS in Flower Mound has a very high success rate.
Because teeth with infected pulp tissue often cause no symptoms, it is important to have regular dental examinations. I can determine which (if any) teeth have infected roots. If the infection in the soft pulp tissue is left untreated, it can progress to a point where the tooth cannot be saved. Is it time for a thorough dental exam? Call our office at (972) 355-9545.
Call Steve Titensor DDS immediately if one of your teeth is screaming for attention!
