So, Fort Worth family dentist Sheri McIntosh DDS of Distinguished Dental delivers quality, compassionate dental services to keep smiles and their owners completely healthy for the long run. Preventive, restorative and cosmetic services range from exams and cleanings to tooth colored fillings to gum disease therapy and cosmetic improvements.<\/p>\n<p>While you and your family may go on summer vacation, your oral health should not. Doctors Sheri McIntosh and Lindsey Walsh of Distinguished Dental run an outstanding family dental office in Fort Worth, TX geared toward preventive, restorative and cosmetic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.distinguished-dental.com\/general-dentistry.html\">dental services<\/a> that will keep the whole family smiling through out the year.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Before launching on that summertime trek, the Distinguished Dental team urges you to check on the health of your teeth and gums. It\u2019s a great way to avoid a dental emergency, such as a painful dental abscess,\u00a0 out on the road and also to ensure your mouth&#8211;and whole body, too&#8211;is in tip top shape.<\/p>\n<h3>Your Fort Worth family dentist recommends semi-annual cleanings and exams<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Sheri McIntosh likes to see all her patients at least twice a year for oral exams and professional cleanings. The purpose of these visits is to catch any dental problems early before treatment becomes complex and expensive and before systemic health suffers.\u00a0 The doctor inspects for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, bite and TMJ problems, and condition of existing restorations such as fillings and crowns.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a skilled hygienist removes plaque and tartar build-up on the teeth and at the gum line. This material carries oral bacteria which cause cavities and gum disease. When left unchecked, tooth loss and gum and bone recession occur. These conditions spread poor health through out the entire body with maladies such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>atheroschlerosis<\/li>\n<li>hypertension<\/li>\n<li>diabetes<\/li>\n<li>low birth weight babies and pregnancy complications<\/li>\n<li>heart valve issues<\/li>\n<li>dementia<\/li>\n<li>Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, the Distinguished Dental Team finds exams and cleanings to be great opportunities for patient education and interaction regarding treatment goals.<\/p>\n<h3>Your Fort Worth dentist formulates a custom treatment plan<\/h3>\n<p>If an exam uncovers problems, your Fort Worth family dentist will make recommendations geared toward restoring your smile to full health and function. Services include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>tooth-colored fillings<\/li>\n<li>root canal therapy<\/li>\n<li>periodontal therapy<\/li>\n<li>crowns, bridges and dentures<\/li>\n<li>wisdom teeth extraction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sealants may be offered to protect molars from decay, and custom mouth guards protect from sports injuries and tooth grinding.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment plans may address your family\u2019s aesthetic goals, too. Why not brighten teeth with cosmetic whitening or fill gaps and chips with composite resin bonding or porcelain veneers?<\/p>\n<h3>Take advantage of special pricing at your family dental office<\/h3>\n<p>Right now at Distinguished Dental, the staff is offering two outstanding specials to start your family on great dental health for the summer.
