A night of healthy sleep can change how you feel throughout the day. If you have obstructive sleep apnea, those nights may be few and far between for you and your loved ones. If you often wake up with headaches and listen to constant complaints about your snoring, then it’s time to schedule a consultation at our Waco, TX dental office to discuss our sleep apnea treatment.
Here are three reasons you should:
1. Stop Your Snoring
Loud and persistent snoring is one of the most common symptoms of untreated sleep apnea. By getting one of our oral appliances, you can alter the position of your jaw so your snoring occurs rarely if at all.
2. Breathe Easier
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes you to stop breathing when you fall asleep. These stoppages can happen hundreds of times every night. Your body responds to this by waking you up (even if you don’t remember it). With the right treatment, you will keep breathing. This allows you to reach the stages of deep sleep so you can wake feeling refreshed and energized.
3. Improve Your Health
The breathing stoppages caused by sleep apnea takes a toll on your body. You are more likely to develop high blood pressure and you are at a greater risk of heart attacks and strokes. Research also reveals that your sleep deprivation makes you more likely to be involved in an automobile accident.
We want you and your loved ones to enjoy healthy, deep sleep. Let us show you how we can help. Call 254-401-0129 or to plan your consultation at Starr General Dentistry in Waco, TX.

How long has it been since your last dental cleaning? If it’s been more than six months, we welcome and encourage you to plan a visit to our office before the end of the year. Here are a few reasons why.
Professional Cleaning Are Needed For Optimal Oral Health
The American Dental Association recommends professional cleanings in addition to your daily brushing and flossing. No matter how well you brush and how often you floss, you are likely to have plaque and tartar. A professional cleaning will remove this buildup, which can reduce your risk for tooth decay and gum disease.
We Can Catch Problems In The Early Stages
A majority of people will have cavities and will have gum disease at least once in their lives. If you make dental exams part of your oral care routine, we can spot these problems in the early stages. By treating these early, we can spare you from gum recession, tooth infections, tooth loss, and systemic health issues.
You Shouldn’t Lose Your Benefits
If you have dental insurance, there is a good chance that all or most of the cost of cleanings are covered under your policy. At the same time, many policies have benefits that expire at the end of the calendar year. If you don’t schedule a cleaning, you are losing a fundamental benefit of your plan.
Don’t lose your benefits or your healthy smile. Call 254-401-0129 today or contact us online to request an appointment at Starr General Dentistry in Waco, TX.
The foundation of great dental care is not taking care of teeth. It’s caring for people — people like Jennie. We were happy to help her rebuild her smile with dental crowns. As you’ll hear in the video below, her crowns made a difference in her life.

The pain of your toothache has become unbearable. You know you should visit the dentist, but you are anxious that you may need a root canal treatment. The truth is that you don’t need to worry about this procedure at our office Waco, TX.
It Will End Your Pain
Toothaches are the result of an infection. When bacteria reach the interior of a tooth, it can cause the soft tissue there to become inflamed. They can put pressure on the nerves inside the teeth. Removing that infected tissue will alleviate the source of your pain, so you can get some relief.
The Procedure Doesn’t Hurt
In the past, dental care wasn’t done as carefully as many people would have liked. Root canals in particular were something that many people feared. In modern dental practices, like Starr General Dentistry, we make patient comfort one of our top priorities. In addition to local anesthetic, we also offer dental sedation to keep you as pain-free as we can during your procedure. Many people have told us they didn’t feel a thing.
You Can Feel Like Yourself Again
To finish your treatment, we’ll fill and cap your tooth with a crown. This restores your smile and allows you to bite and chew naturally again.
If your teeth hurt, don’t take chances. Call 254-401-0129 or contact us online to request an appointment as soon as you can.

To love your smile, you have to love your teeth. And to care for your teeth, you have to take care of your gums. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States.
While we can treat periodontal problems at our practice, our preference is to help our patients prevent issues whenever possible. Using dental floss or another interdental cleaner daily can go a long way toward preserving your oral health and your smile, as this video by the American Dental Association explains.
