Make a Date with Your Dentist -- Wise Orthodontics



You water the garden three times a week, you change your car's oil every three months, and you replace the batteries in your smoke detectors once a year. Your teeth need to see your dentist on a regular schedule, too.

When you visit your dentist's office, your teeth are treated to a deeper level of cleaning than your daily brushing can provide. Regular visits help your dentist detect and/or prevent the onset of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease.

If you are predisposed to oral diseases, you'll need to see your dentist more often. Factors at play in these diseases include age, pregnancy, smoking and other tobacco use, medical conditions (such as diabetes, dry mouth, or HIV infection), and how well you take care of your teeth on a daily basis.

Make sure your teeth get the (professional) attention they deserve – check with your dentist's staff at your next appointment to find out how often they need to check and clean your teeth!

Wise Orthodontics is your spot for orthodontic care in Frisco and McKinney, Texas. Give us a call to schedule a consultation and see if orthodontic treatment is right for you.

Wise Orthodontics Patient Reviews

Wise Orthodontics provides the highest quality orthodontic care for the whole family. Just see what our patients are saying!!!I love absolutely everything about Wise Orthodontics. If Dr. Wise moved his practice to Atlanta, Georgia, I would have to make the flight arrangements. My friends tell me horror stories about their orthodontists. I don't understand why they stay. Dr. Wise is so great.

The staff are friendly and they put my children at ease. At Wise Orthodontics, they take the time to explain everything we need to know and make sure we understand what we need to do to get the best results. As a result, my children are taking much better care of their teeth.

Smoke Screen - Wise and Stonebridge Orthodontics

Everybody knows that smoking causes lung cancer, but did you also know that smokers and tobacco are susceptible to a variety of oral health problems at a faster rate than non-smokers?

It’s true! Smoking is responsible for almost 75% of gum disease in adults; and, similar to smokers, adults who smoke pipes and cigars, as well as those using smokeless tobacco, are just as susceptible to gum disease and other tobacco related health problems.

As soon as you use tobacco products, you become more likely to experience any of these oral-health problems:

• Oral cancer
• Gum disease
• Tooth loss
• Loss of bone in the jaw
• Gum recession
• Delayed/impaired healing process after oral surgery or any other treatment
• Decreased success rate of dental implant (tooth replacement) procedures
• Mouth sores
• Loss of your sense of taste and smell
• Bad breath
• Tooth and tongue stains

If you are interested in protecting your oral health we strongly recommend you quit using tobacco products! The following steps are recommended by the Surgeon General to help you quit smoking and using tobacco:

• Get ready – set a quitting date and remove all materials from your home, car and office
• Get support
• Learn new skills and behaviors
• Get medication and use it correctly
• Be prepared for relapse or difficult situations

For support, start with Wise Orthodontics and Stonebridge Orthodontics! We can help
