Floss To Fight Gum Disease, Protect Your Teeth

August 10, 2020
Home > Blog > Floss To Fight Gum Disease, Protect Your Teeth
August 10, 2020

To love your smile, you have to love your teeth. And to care for your teeth, you have to take care of your gums. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States.

While we can treat periodontal problems at our practice, our preference is to help our patients prevent issues whenever possible. Using dental floss or another interdental cleaner daily can go a long way toward preserving your oral health and your smile, as this video by the American Dental Association explains.

We want you to keep your smile looking great. We want you to brush, floss, and visit us for routine care. Contact us online or call 254-401-0129 to plan your next appointment at Starr General Dentistry in Waco, TX.

Professional yet comfortable hygienist. Technically sound. Easy to interact with. Dentist was also very professional. I liked, as we briefly talked about options, that he advised a conservative approach in my case. Again, the experience was such that I knew I was in the care of experts but also with good relational skills. I would recommend them!

My most recent appointment was really good, quick and the folks are so nice there. They gave me advice on a dental insurance plan. The ladies at the front desk are the best given the new protocol (COVID) and all the questions. I feel safe and comfortable there which is saying a lot since I have some fear of dental work.

I have never had a bad experience with either the late Dr. Starr or his sons. I also think my hygienist, Summer, is spectacular. The office staff always have a smile and are hugely helpful.
