In a few circumstances, Dr. Patel may prescribe antibiotics prior to tooth extraction. A person may need antibiotics if they have a high risk of infective endocarditis, an infection of the heart valves or the interior lining of the heart chambers
The process of extraction will begin with a review of medical history to ensure the safety and efficiency of tooth extraction. The following steps outline the general steps of the tooth extraction procedure:
After your tooth extraction, it is important to care for the site of extraction. Ascent Dental will pack an aftercare kit for you consisting of sterilized gauze that should be switched out every 20 minutes until bleeding stops.
Pacifier use is typically acceptable after an infant is one month old and has had sufficient time to develop a healthy breast-feeding habit. However, experts recommend that children stop using pacifiers after their second year. Continued use could result in teeth misalignment and the development of a cross-bite, among other issues. Talk with your dentist if you have any other pacifier questions or concerns.
Tooth decay the destruction of the hard, outer layer of your teeth (the enamel) is the most common chronic disease among children. More than 40 percent of children have cavities by the time they reach kindergarten, according to the National Childrens Oral Health Foundation.
What causes tooth decay, and how can it be prevented? Consuming too many sugary drinks and snacks can cause tooth decay. For this reason, you should limit the amount of sugary beverages your child drinks to avoid prolonged exposure of the liquid to teeth. These beverages include soft drinks or sweetened fruit juice.
If you give your child a sippy cup for long periods of time, fill it only with water, and dont allow him or her to take it to bed. When your child begins eating solid foods, you should limit the amount of sugary or starchy snacks, especially food that can get stuck on or between teeth.
Your first visit will include a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues. Digital x-rays will be utilized to aid in the examination, detection, and diagnosis of oral conditions. Customized treatment plans will be formed that will address conditions such as TMJ, Gum Disease, Cavities, Fractures, Abscess, and much more!
Restorative dentistry aims to restore the original function and esthetics of the tooth that may have been compromised. Our restorative services include Tooth-colored Fillings, Custom matched Crowns and Bridges.
Healthy habits start at a young age. Educating and modeling healthy habits can create a positive experience for a child. It is important to bring your kids for a dental check-up and cleaning 6 months after the first tooth erupts.
Are you unhappy with the appearance of your teeth? Ascent Dental offers Glo Professional Whitening for an in-office whitening that BRIGHTENS your teeth up to several shades without dealing with the sensitivity.
Dental exams can aid in the evaluation of cavities, oral cancer, periodontal disease, and the overall condition of your health. Digital x-rays are necessary for the prevention of many dental diseases and diagnosing pain or infection. Biannual Exam and X-rays can ensure a happy and healthy mouth!
The filling restores the function and esthetics of teeth. Ascent Dental uses esthetic filling material made up of composite resin that improves the appearance of your teeth by ensuring shade match your teeth!
Ascent Dental strives to create and maintain your gorgeous smile with professionally recommended cleanings at least twice a year. Cleanings remove built-up plaque and tartar that harms your gums while polishing your enamel for a bright and healthy smile.
Are you unhappy with the color of your teeth? Teeth discoloration can occur from coffee, tea, or red wine yielding to a less confident smile. In-Office whitening brightens your teeth up to several shades using a professional whitening agent without making your teeth brittle.
Severe decay or fractured teeth can lead to pain and loss of a tooth. Extractions can sometimes yield anxiety therefore we reduce dental anxiety by providing pain management techniques and noise-canceling headphones to provide comfort while you are in the chair.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children first see a dentist as early as six months of age and no later than one year of age. During this time, your childs baby teeth will be coming in and Dr. Patel can examine the health of your childs first few teeth. After the first visit, be sure to schedule regular checkups every six months.
Your teeth may feel fine, but its still important to see the dentist regularly because problems can exist without you knowing. Your smiles appearance is important, and your dentist can help keep your smile healthy and looking beautiful. With so many advances in dentistry, you no longer have to settle for stained, chipped, missing, or misshapen teeth. Todays dentists offer many treatment choices that can help you smile with confidence, including:

Dr. Patel is absolutely, undeniably the nicest dentist I have EVER met. I am typically so scared of dentistry and it has made me avoid the dentist for years. She was so kind in making sure I wasn't anxious and never in pain. She is very transparent about price and takes her time to answer every question. Best dentist in north Fort Worth and beautiful clinic!

Great experience overall. I was looking more for a boutique dentist that actually does the cleaning, versus pawning me off to a technician. State of the art technology and impeccable service is what I found at Ascent. Would highly recommend to friends and family looking for that affordable, bespoke experience.

Ascent Dental is wonderful. Dr. Zil Patel is excellent at what she does. Last year I had a dental emergency during the holidays and they were the only dentist office that was able to provide the care I needed. Super nice staff and quality care. Definitely recommend!

I had a dentist in Dallas for 30 years. He retired, and didnt ask for my permission, lol I have been blessed with finding Ascent Dental to fill the void. When I went in for my first appointment, I felt like I have found my new dental home. She is gentle and has the best chairside manner, I recommend Dr. Patel without reservation Respectfully submitting, Daniel
