COVID-19 update from The Smile Center

To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about Coronavirus in public places… even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

At The Smile Center, I want to assure you that our office has even further heightened our already rigid sterilization safeguards and office cleaning standards to minimize the possibility of transmission to our outstanding team…or to you, our valued patient. We have always far exceeded all standards for sterilization and patient care.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

Your dental health remains important to us as it plays such an important role in your overall health.

When you visit our office, you’ll see we’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure you have the best patient experience possible. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please do not come to our office and call us to reschedule your appointment. We care for you and all our patients. If we see any symptoms in our patients or our team, we will reschedule the appointment on the spot and send that individual home.

It is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you…and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

Sincerely,

Dr. John Miller
The Smile Center

Relieve Discomfort From Dry Mouth in Georgetown

You may think dry mouth in Georgetown is no big deal, but we beg to differ! Not only is it uncomfortable, but it creates an environment friendly to the bacteria that cause tooth decay. So the condition can lead to dental damage.

Our dry mouth treatment will:

  • Allow you to chew and eat more easily
  • Help prevent issues like cracked lips and abrasions inside your mouth
  • Restore a more healthy environment to your mouth so you’re less likely to get cavities
  • Make you more comfortable
  • Help you identify issues, like prescription medications, that may be contributing to your dry mouth problem

Dr. John Miller can suggest lifestyle changes and products that can ease your dry mouth symptoms. Call 843-492-5026 for an appointment with him.

See Us For Regular Exams If You Have Dry Mouth Symptoms

We recommend an antibacterial mouth rinse called Tooth & Gums Tonic. Created by dentists and formulated with essential oils and all-natural ingredients, it can help alleviate symptoms.

It’s also important not to miss your regular dental exams. Remember, two exams and cleanings a year are included with our membership plan.

Because your mouth is more hospitable to decay-causing bacteria when you have dry mouth, we’ll use tools like DIAGNOdent to find cavities in their early stages. We can also use treatments like fluoride varnish and dental sealants to help protect your teeth against decay.

You Need Saliva to Fight Tooth Decay

Saliva is a kind of “secret weapon” against the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Bacteria collect in plaque, a sticky film that clings to your teeth. When you eat foods with sugars and starch, they “feed” the bacteria, which then produce acids that eat away your tooth enamel. Your saliva not only helps wash away remnants of these foods, but it also contains minerals like calcium and phosphate. They help replace the minerals in your enamel that are lost to the damaging acids. So not producing enough saliva is a problem – but one we can help you with.

To relieve discomfort caused by dry mouth in Georgetown, call The Smile Center at 843-492-5026.
