At our office, we want you to choose how to proceed with your dental care. Well present our findings to you and suggest a treatment plan. Our affordable options will then be presented to you, so you can choose whats right for you. Well always try to fit our care into your budget.

We are proud to take the time to get to know our patients. Our goal is to make you as comfortable as you can be when youre visiting us for your dental health needs. With three dentists on staff, were able to meet all your oral health needs in our office.

Dr. Wright always enjoyed working with his hands. He was a machinist and a mechanic. I planned on applying for medical school then I realized that dentistry was more up my alley. Dr. Wright attended Oklahoma University, graduating with his dental degree in 1992.

After dental school, Dr. Wright completed a residency with the Air Force in Advanced General Dentistry. Two years later, his wife was accepted into anesthetist school in Houston, so they made the move to Texas.

Dr. Wright still has a big interest in airplanes, as youll be able to see from our Texas Cityoffice dcor. Ive built 4 airplanes and I fly them. I also enjoy tinkering with hot rod cars and I love animals!

The Wright Dentist - General dentist in Texas City, TX

We all know that feeling of dry mouth we get when were nervous, like when we have to give a speech or were upset. Dry mouth under those conditions is pretty normal and the reason why you usually see a glass of water at a podium or on a dais. But what about chronic dry mouth the kind where you feel parched all the time?

This condition occurs when you cant produce the right amount of saliva to keep your mouth wet. Certain medications (more than 400, in fact) list dry mouth as a possible side effect, diseases (e.g., HIV, Parkinsons, diabetes), chemo and radiation therapies, eating disorders, and nerve damage all are possible causes of dry mouth.

You bet it can! Dry mouth can increase your risk for gum disease or gingivitis. It can also cause your teeth to decay, resulting in cavities, and it makes it especially difficult to chew and swallow your food!

When you eliminate some of the conditions that cause dry mouth, it usually goes away. So say, for example, you are taking a medication that lists dry mouth as a possible side effect. Ask your doctor for a different medication, or wait it out for a few weeks, because often, dry mouth will disappear over time. An oral rinse may also help to alleviate dry mouth.

Other treatments? Try sucking on sugar-free candy or chewing sugar-free gum, staying well hydrated with lots of water, breathing through your nose (not your mouth!), lowering your caffeine intake, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, or running a humidifier to keep the air around you moist.

Since chronic dry mouth is not normal, you need to give us a call if it becomes a chronic condition and you just cant figure it out. We will carefully review your medical record to get to the bottom of the problem and refer you to a specialist, if required.

The office staff was helpful and nice. I loved my hygienist, she did a great job while being quick and efficient without causing me any discomfort. The practice isn't super high tech but they get the job done. They do have TVs in the patient room for distraction while you are getting your cleaning. And the patient chairs face a window wall that has an atrium behind it with a few birds to watch. The dentist was on the quieter side but seemed nice.
