New Year, New You
Every year, we create resolutions aimed at improving our health. It is important to include your dental health too! Taking proper care of your gums and teeth can have a significant impact on your overall health and life. Perhaps, you want to ensure that you don’t neglect any important aspect of taking care of your gums and teeth. At Stonehaven Dental in Waco & Harker Heights, we want to help you improve your dental hygiene and health this year by sharing dental care tips that will enhance your overall health.
- Brush better
Proper brushing helps your mouth and your entire body. Ideally, you should visit your family dentist at least twice a year. Before your next dental visit and between appointments, make sure that you brush your teeth properly and regularly. You may have a toothbrush but it won’t help you if you don’t use it properly. For instance, timing is very important when it comes to brushing. Our dentists in Waco & Harker Heights agree with the American Dental Association suggestion that you brush your teeth for two minutes twice a day. Make sure you are replacing your toothbrush every three or four months. A worn or frayed toothbrush doesn’t do as good of a job cleaning your teeth. - Improve your flossing habits
It is common to brush your teeth but often neglect flossing since it can be frustrating and time-consuming. However, flossing is very important and you should never neglect it! Flossing properly will ensure you are taking care of your gums and between your teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach. Flossing can help you to prevent periodontal disease and potential bone loss. Generally, flossing is not hard as long as you know how to do it properly and it will help in preventing some of the most common dental problems. - Make healthier beverage and food choices
An important aspect of family and general dentistry is making healthier beverage and food choices. This is especially true for snacks. Consuming beverages and foods that are especially acidic or sugary like sodas, sugary juices, candy and other sweets can promote tooth decay. Make healthier, nutritious snack and meal choices to help promote good oral and overall health. Foods like fruits, vegetables cheese, milk and plain yogurt benefit tooth health and overall health due to their nutritional value.
Generally, these may seem like simple aspects of general dentistry or pediatric dentistry. However, they are important in addition to regular dental visits. At Stonehaven Dental, we want you to have a better dental health this year. Visit our dental clinic in Waco & Harker Heights or get in touch with us for help with any dental problem.
Reviews From Our Patients

Sammy, Connor, the front desk staff, Dental Hygenist and especially Dr. Town are amazing! It’s great to see the same faces everyone I get a cleaning! Sammy makes the experience comfortable and welcome. Connor may be quiet but he always does a great job! The dental hygienist always remembers me and my kids. Sorry I cant remember her name but she knows who I am and that’s what matters:) Thankful for this staff and the great care they give to my family!

I love it here. I have never seen a dental office give flowers to first timers. Everyone was so welcome if. In pain but you guys still made me smile. I told my daughter she need to come there. I love how you guys work with options of payment. Again thanks for making me smile in pain.

We’ve always had a good experience at Stonehaven. The women at the front desk are always cheerful and helpful. I love the hygienists, they always make my children and I feel comfortable and informed. I have pretty high dental anxiety and they’ve never tried to minimize my fears- but they listen to me, and help me feel as comfortable as possible. The dentists and orthodontists have been great! No issues at all. (I just wish my daughter was better at flossing, but we’re working on that!)

"This is my first time at Stonehaven dental. Everyone was super friendly, and helpful. Dr Town came in and visited with me and together we developed a treatment plan to address the issues that were present on my teeth. Couldn't be more happy with the experience with everyone in the office!"
