The best way to keep your beautiful, luminous smile is to ensure your oral health is in tip-top shape. Of course, brushing, flossing, and rinsing is a great way to keep your teeth and gums healthy after they experience pressure from chewing, bacteria build-up, and plaque formation. With tartar, decay, loose food particles, and other factors, gum disease and tooth decay is always around the corner. The immaculate general dentistry from the office of L. King Scott, DDS can guarantee pristine oral hygiene and prevent oral health problems.

At Dr. King Scott’s dental office, we are always thinking of our patients and how to provide the best dental care possible. We put a lot of thought, effort and time into our dental treatments. A great example of this is through our use of wax-up models of your teeth and jaws.

Sometimes before starting treatment, Dr. Scott will make a wax model of your teeth and jaws. This allows him to ensure that the dental work he will perform will have the best possible impact on your smile. These models will also help you visualize your treatment so you can fully understand what you’re agreeing to before it happens.

We want our patients to be informed and play an active role in their smiles. By using a wax-up model, you can see how the treatment will impact the function of your smile. This is a helpful tool as sometimes it’s hard to imagine what your smile will look like at the end of your dental work.

Give us a call today and see for yourself how a wax-up model from Dr. Scott can improve your dental experience. We want our patients to always be excited with their smiles at every step of the process. Information from a wax up model can be a powerful tool.

Oral Cancer Awareness

March 26, 2013

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 5:36 pm

Oral cancer is a serious health concern, and at Dr. King Scott’s dental office we want our patients to be informed and prepared. It kills more people nationwide than either cervical cancer or melanoma. The best thing you can do is to visit us regularly and educate yourself on the warning signs.

Signs of oral cancer include the following:

  • Flat, painless, red or white spots or sores
  • Change in color of oral tissues
  • Pain, tenderness or numbness in the mouth or lips
  • A lumpy, thick, rough, crusty spot or small, eroded area

If you see any of these symptoms, you should call our office right away. It is important to come see us every six months for your regular checkup, as we will check for signs of oral cancer. If you notice anything unusual it is important to call us, because the sooner oral cancer is detected, the greater the chance it can be treated.

Your risk of developing oral cancer is increased if you’re a smoker, drink frequently and often, are in the sun a lot, bite your cheek or lip habitually, or have poorly fitting dentures. Twenty five percent of oral cancer cases are found in people who do not have any of these risk factors, so just because you don’t fit the profile doesn’t mean that you have no risk of developing this.

Oral cancer is a serious health concern. It is important to be informed and visit us regularly to ensure the continued health of your gums and teeth. For more information, visit The Oral Cancer Foundation.

Receive Expert Treatment for your TMJ Disorder in West Monroe, LA

February 5, 2013

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 10:41 pm

In the dentist’s office, you hear about all sorts of common oral health problems, from cavities to gum disease to discoloration. One of the conditions that can be the most frustrating and uncomfortable, though, affects an area you may not first think of when considering dental care – the jaw. Your jaws are crucial tools that enable you to speak and eat, and they’re supported by small joints (commonly known as temporomandibular joints) that connect them to the skull and an intricate system of nerves and muscles.  However, when these joints are even slightly misaligned, it can cause debilitating symptoms. These symptoms are commonly known as temporomandibular (TMJ) disorder. Thankfully, here at our West Monroe practice, Dr. King Scott and his team are able to provide effective and efficient treatment for TMJ disorder, thanks to both Dr. Scott’s specially honed expertise and our commitment to providing well-rounded and personalized dental health care to patients of all ages.

How do I know if I suffer from TMJ disorder?

Take a look at these common symptoms of TMJ disorder:

  • Constant, excessive headaches
  • Popping or clicking jaw joints
  • Persistent pain in the face, neck, head, shoulders, or back
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Jaw discomfort when chewing, or an inability to fully open or close one’s mouth

If one or more of these sound familiar, then Dr. Scott would like to see you so that he can inspect your jaws for signs of TMJ disorder.

What kind of treatment can you offer me?

Many dentists can offer help to those seeking relief from TMJ disorder. However, Dr. Scott has set himself apart by studying TMJ therapy and bruxism in-depth at The Dawson Academy –and The Piper Center – both in St. Petersburg, FL; his care is precise, informed, and most important of all, carefully personalized to fit your unique needs as a patient who deserves relief. He can prescribe a custom-made mouth appliance to correct TMJ disorder, and has been bringing smiles to beleaguered patients’ faces for years with minimally invasive TMJ splint therapy. He can discuss your unique case with you in more depth once you come in for a consultation.

Don’t suffer in silence any longer – let Dr. Scott and his team give your teeth a break with expert TMJ treatment. Call our West Monroe, LA practice today to schedule a consultation. We also serve patients from Ruston, Rayville, Farmersville, Columbia, Winnsboro, Delhi, South Arkansas, and all of greater North Louisiana.

Start the New Year off right with a dental checkup appointment at Dr. King Scott’s office. Make a commitment to your dental health this year and come see us every six months for healthy teeth!

You may be asking yourself why you need to keep coming back if you’re brushing twice a day and rinsing with Listerine after you brush and your teeth seem fine. A dental checkup is crucial because there are many things that could be going on with your teeth that you cannot see or remove yourself. Plaque and bacteria and calculus can build up on your teeth, and can only be removed by our dental team.

We are also checking you for signs of oral cancer, periodontal disease or other dental health concerns. If left unchecked, these can cause a threat to your overall general health and certainly your total dental health. Since there may not be a lot of symptoms, it is essential that you come see us regularly. With regular care and examinations, these issues can be detected and treated appropriately, helping you have a healthy, terrific smile.

Your old restorative dental work maybe wearing out and may be in need of replacement because of wear or decay. We will ensure the health of your teeth by doing a comprehensive tooth by tooth exam for cavities, decayed fillings and broken down filling along with and other dental concerns.

A dental checkup is an important tool to help ensure the best health of your teeth. Come in a minimum of two times a year to keep your smile shining bright!

Dr. King Scott’s West Monroe, LA dental office is dedicated to creating beautiful, healthy smiles. We serve patients from Monroe, Ruston, Rayville, Farmersville, Columbia, Winnsboro, Delhi, South Arkansas, and all of greater North Louisiana. Call us today to schedule an appointment!
