Dr. Sheri McIntosh, your premiere dentist in Keller, wants to offer you some guidelines for optimal oral health.

Oral Cancer Screening in Fort Worth, TX
August 20, 2016
Think you don’t know anyone who’s had oral cancer? See if you recognize any of these names: Babe Ruth, General Ulysses S. Grant, Sigmund Freud, Rod Stewart, Michael Douglas, George Harrison and Diane Von Furstenberg. For 2016, the American Cancer Society estimates that about 48,330 Americans will be diagnosed with oral or oropharyngeal (throat) cancer, and some 9,570 people will die from these cancers. And while there’s no telling for certain, some of these diagnoses and deaths might have been prevented by one simple procedure: an oral cancer screening. At Distinguished Dental, Dr. McIntosh and her staff routinely conduct oral cancer screenings in Fort Worth, TX during dental checkups in order to spot the early warning signs of this otherwise fatal disease.

Your Keller Dentist Offers the Latest Dental Technology
November 30, 2015
There is so much we take for granted. Even in dentistry, there are things that we practically cannot imagine never having been around. For example, did you know that the first reclining dental chair was not introduced until 1958? That made an enormous impact on the way dentists treated patients. In 1957, the S. S. White Company introduced the first clinically successful high-speed hand piece, which made it possible for teeth to be much more easily and quickly prepared than previously. Today, high-speed handpieces operate at more than 300,000 rpms, or faster than a jet engine. The advances in dental technology continue at a rapid pace. At the Keller dentist, Distinguished Dental in Keller, TX, Dr. Sheri McIntosh and her team offer up-to-date services that are on the cutting edge of technology.
