A healthy smile requires more than brushing and flossing. It also means being aware of habits that can quietly cause damage. From chewing on ice to brushing too hard, small actions can lead to big problems if left unchecked. The more you understand how your everyday choices affect your oral health, the easier it is to make simple changes that really pay off.
Routine dental checkups are key to maintaining oral health, but what you do between visits matters even more. Daily habits and smart choices help keep your teeth and gums in top shape, preventing problems before they start. With a consistent at-home routine, you can protect your smile and make every trip to the dentist a positive one.
You might not see it happening. You might not even feel it right away. But stress could be taking a toll on your smile in ways you never expected. The signs often start small: a little jaw discomfort, a canker sore here and there, and a bit of bleeding when you floss. Left unchecked, stress-related oral health issues can escalate into serious problems.
When it comes to your dental care, precision and comfort matter. At Lincoln Crossings Dental Care in North Huntingdon, PA, we’re always looking for ways to enhance your experience, which is why we’re excited to introduce our 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner. This advanced technology helps us accurately plan treatments and ensures you get the best care possible.
At Lincoln Crossings Dental Care in North Huntingdon, PA, we believe that everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of. Whether you’re dealing with damaged, missing, or broken teeth, our team is here to help. One of our patients, Adam, recently shared his experience with dental implants, and his story is an inspiring reminder that dental care is about more than restoring smiles—it’s also about changing lives.
If Dr. Stryker is one thing, it’s dedicated to his patients. Ron, a long-time Lincoln Crossings Dental Care patient, had multiple oral health problems that mainly stemmed from one underlying issue. With determination and compassion, Dr. Stryker not only fixed all of Ron’s problems but also fully restored his oral health. Now, his smile is healthier than it’s ever been. Watch Ron tell his story in this inspiring video with commentary from Dr. Stryker.
Merry Christmas From Dr. Stryker!
Caring for your gums is just as important as caring for your teeth. Did you know that approximately half of American adults suffer from gum disease? When you visit our office for routine hygiene examinations, we do more than just thoroughly clean your teeth and look for signs of decay. We also check your gums for gum disease or an indication that you could potentially suffer from this condition in the future. Luckily, it is possible to prevent gum disease. Read on to learn about the importance of caring for your gums.
My team and I believe that you, our patient, always deserve better. We believe you deserve better technology, better clinical skills, better care, better results, and a better dental experience. This belief drives everything we do. One way that we can do better for our patients is to grow through continuing education. The dental practice is always evolving and changing, with new technology and treatments available to improve your care and recovery. I recently had the opportunity to attend a course that focused on cosmetic dentistry, specifically veneers. Read on to learn more about this opportunity and how it will improve your care.
At Lincoln Crossings Dental Care, we treat people, not patients. When we welcome new patients to our office for their first visit, we want them to feel welcome from the first moment they walk through the doors. We want them to feel like they are our special guests. Patients can expect personalized attention, remarkable hospitality, tailored treatment, and unmatched care.
