We humans have two sets of teeth in our lifetime. The first set are your ‘primary teeth’, which many folks around Flower Mound often call ‘baby teeth’. Baby teeth typically start to come in at about 6 months old. An average healthy mouth for a Flower Mound resident has a total of 20 primary teeth by about age 5.

Your primary teeth will eventually fall out and new teeth known as ‘permanent teeth’ will grow in. Permanent teeth typically begin to come in around age 6 for most Flower Mound residents, but every person is unique and it could be a little earlier or later. By about age 13 an average healthy mouth should have 28 of the total 32 permanent teeth. The last four permanent teeth may or may not come, but typically come in between the ages of 17 and 21 if they do. Because of the late age that these last teeth come in they are commonly called ‘wisdom teeth’.

Many adults in the city of Flower Mound have their wisdom teeth pulled out because these teeth can be problematic to your oral health, such as crowding a mouth. Other adults in the Flower Mound area may not have these teeth pulled out because they are not causing problems. If you are concerned about the state of your wisdom teeth, you can visit our local Flower Mound office and we can help you make a decision.

Caring for all of your teeth whether you are young and have 20 primary teeth or are an adult and have 28 to 32 permanent teeth is important for your overall health. Visiting your Flower Mound family dentist regularly, and brushing and flossing daily are great ways to care for your many teeth.

Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry located in Flower Mound, cares about you oral health and teeth. We can be reached by phone at 469-293-1040.

Gingivitis is the term for the mild gum disease. At Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry, we routinely discover gingivitis in Lewisville clients who are not even aware they have the condition.

The first signs of gingivitis are swollen, sore gums.

It is important for our Lewisville dental patients to understand that it is not normal for gums to bleed when they are brushed or flossed. If you haven’t had an oral examination in a while and live in the Lewisville area, call Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry at 469-293-1040. Dr. Steven W. Titensor thoroughly exams teeth and gums and takes time to discuss the results and recommendations with each general dentistry patient.

Visiting Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry in Flower Mound for regular general dentistry check-ups and cleanings every six months can seem inconvenient and unnecessary at times, but you may benefit in ways you never imagined.

A recent study showed that people who had their teeth professionally cleaned at least once every two years were 24 percent less likely to have a heart attack, compared to those who skipped appointments.

While the study could simply confirm that those Flower Mound people who dutifully schedule regular dental cleanings also practice healthy habits like exercising and eating right, there is additional evidence of a relationship between oral health and heart health.

Common problems like inflammation with gum disease are linked to hardening of the arteries and other tissue inflammations which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

Former American Heart Association President Ralph Sacco, MD, (who did not participate in the study mentioned previously) said:

‘Something as simple as having good dental hygiene – brushing, flossing, and having regular cleanings – may be good for your heart and brain health.’

While the study found that patients who schedule cleanings yearly reap the most health benefits, Steven W. Titensor of Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry recommends coming in for check-ups and cleanings every six months to catch potential problems early, saving Flower Mound patients time and money. Regular cosmetic dental cleanings also brighten and whiten teeth, making your smile look its best.

Wisdom teeth are also difficult to clean, especially if they do not fully erupt, which is a common problem for most Flower Mound teens and young adults who discover them. This can cause infection, as bacteria can be trapped under the skin where brushing and flossing is difficult.

After removal, Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry recommends Flower Mound wisdom teeth extraction patients carefully follow the instructions given.

Bleeding is inevitable and should be expected to last up to three days. Rinsing is counter-productive, but firm pressure should be applied by biting down on the gauze pads to help stop the bleeding.

Swelling following wisdom teeth removal is a sign that the healing process is progressing normally. Swelling that recedes and then re-appears after a few weeks, however, is a sign of infection and should be treated immediately.

Dr. Steven W. Titensor recommends an examination seven to ten days after the extraction to make sure the wounds are clean and there are no complications. An antibiotic wash can be applied if infection is present.

Keep in mind that many complications can be avoided if the Flower Mound patient has his or her wisdom teeth removed at an earlier age.

To schedule a cosmetic dental exam or a wisdom teeth consultation contact our Flower Mound dental practice today.

The quickest and least invasive procedure is light teeth whitening. The results are dramatic and teeth whitening side effects are minimal.

If your teeth are slightly crooked, but require no orthodontic work, porcelain veneers could be the answer. Porcelain teeth veneers are translucent, wafer-thin covers that are permanently attached to the front of teeth, correcting chips and stains. Prepless veneers do not require the removal of tooth structure.

If your teeth are more than slightly crooked, it’s not too late for braces. Patients of all ages in Flower Mound are undergoing orthodontic treatment and achieving fantastic results. The newest clear braces are less noticeable, more comfortable and bring teeth into alignment much faster than old-school metal braces.

Has gum recession caused the metal base of an old crown to be visible? Soft tissue grafts and crown replacement can correct this problem.

Are you missing one or more teeth? One of the best Flower Mound tooth replacement options is a dental implant. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

Can you envision yourself with a dental makeover?

Hello Lewisville! Do you want brighter, whiter teeth? Most Lewisville folks notice their teeth dulling as the years go by, but some foods, drinks, and even mouthwashes can stain teeth at any age.

OTC tooth whitening products like kits, strips, or toothpastes may slightly lighten stains, but for a truly brilliant smile Steven W. Titensor can help!

If you have dental veneers, bonding, or bridges, teeth whitening bleach will not lighten the stains and your whitened natural teeth will make your dental work look even duller in comparison. At Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry, we can recommend new dental work, including veneers or bondings, if these have aged and discolored.

Remember, anything that can stain a white tee shirt can stain teeth.

Fortunately, brushing after meals can keep stains at bay, however with acidic foods or drinks, just rinse your mouth with water. Brushing right away can erode enamel, causing thinner teeth as we age.

Lewisville in-office Zoom whitening takes about an hour and bleaches teeth to a whiter-than-ever brilliance. Professional take-home whitening kits are also available at Titensor Family, Implant, Cosmetic & Sedation Dentistry and can produce the best results over time.
