Natural Supplements and Gum Health: What Fort Worth Patients Should Know

At Museum Smiles Dentistry, many patients ask us if vitamins and natural supplements can support gum health alongside professional cleanings and periodontal therapy. While flossing, brushing, and regular dental visits remain the gold standard, research shows that certain supplements may provide extra support for your gums by reducing inflammation and strengthening tissue healing.

Full-Mouth Restoration: Composite Fillings vs. Dental Crowns
When tooth decay affects multiple teeth, treatment goes beyond simply “filling a cavity.” In these cases, a combination of solutions may be needed to restore health, comfort, and appearance. At Museum Smiles in Fort Worth, we offer both composite fillings (bondings) and dental crowns to rebuild your smile in a way that’s strong, natural, and long-lasting.

The Dangers of Teeth Grinding, Ice Chewing, and How Nightguards Protect Your Smile

Many people don’t realize how much stress their teeth endure every day. Habits like nighttime grinding (bruxism) or chewing on ice may seem harmless, but over time, they can cause serious damage. From tiny fracture lines to full tooth fractures requiring crowns or even root canals, the risks are real. Understanding the connection between these habits, tooth sensitivity, and long-term oral health is key to protecting your smile.

How Preventive Dental Care Saves You Time and Money

At Museum Smiles Dentistry in Fort Worth, we believe that the best dental treatment is prevention. Regular dental checkups, cleanings, and oral health education are the foundation of a healthy smile and a cost-effective approach to long-term care. Many dental problems can be avoided entirely with proper preventive measures.

A broken tooth is usually unexpected and uncomfortable for people. When a tooth breaks, it is easy to start panicking; especially if it is a front tooth that presents cosmetic dental concerns. As a patient, it is best to slow down and take a look at the fractured piece. There are questions that your dentist will ask. 

During the COVID-19 19 pandemic, many workers around the world lost their full time job or the health care benefits that they received from their job. Dental insurance typically helped make dental treatment affordable for many people.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to uncountable changes across the world. Travel has been significantly impacted; the way families and friends can show affection is limited to reduce the risk of spreading this new coronavirus. And it has led health care providers to evaluate what parts of the body in addition to the respiratory system demonstrate a decline in health when affected by COVID-19.
