Written by the people who treat you.
There is a lot of dental advice online and a fair amount of it is nonsense. Everything here comes from Dr. Nash and our hygiene team, aimed at the questions patients in Tyler actually ask us: how hard to brush, whether whitening damages enamel, what a cracked filling really means.
If you have a question you would like answered, email Rdctyler@gmail.com or raise it at your next visit. Topics that come up more than once usually end up here.

Still unsure about something? Call (903) 630-7357 and talk it through with our team.
Can I ask for a topic?
Please do — email Rdctyler@gmail.com. Questions we hear repeatedly are the ones most worth writing about.
Is this a substitute for an exam?
No. General guidance cannot see your x-rays. Use it to ask better questions, then let us look properly.
Can I share these articles?
Of course. If it helps someone book a check-up they have been putting off, it has done its job.
