Plano, TX Dentist Denton Wiginton DDS has solutions for Dental Problems.
Not all Dental Problems are Emergencies.....but most patients want solutions sooner than later. Dr Wiginton's advice is based on 25 + years of dealing with patient concerns.
Some common Dental Problems are:
• Fever Blisters
Fever blisters generally are lip blisters (cold sores) that repeatedly occur in the same area of the lip. There are numerous over the counter treatments as basic as Campho-Phenique; look in the dental sections of most pharmacies. An excellent prescription topical ointment is Denavir (Penciclovir) which may limit the duration (3 to 10 days) if applied when the lesion is first felt. Always use a sterile Q- tip to apply any medicine to [more info...]
Dental Emergencies Given Priority by Plano Dentist July 25, 2009
Plano Dentist Denton Wiginton, DDS stresses that Dental Emergencies should not be ignored.
Dr. Wiginton's office always reserves time for emergency patients to be treated the day they call with a problem. Some frequently seen Dental Emergencies are:
Items Caught Between Teeth
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends trying to first gently remove the item (i.e.: food piece like chicken fragment) with dental floss. Never use a sharp instrument to remove any object that is stuck between your teeth. If you cannot dislodge the item using dental floss, make an appointment with a dentist to get it removed.
Cracked Tooth
This situation is generally accompanied with pain from a specific tooth or actual loss of a part of [more info...]

The Plano Dental Office of Dr. Denton Wiginton offers Emergency Dental Appointments every day because you never know when an emergency might arise.
Dental emergency problems should not be ignored! Continued dental neglect may result in greater amounts of time and money spent! Contact a dentist ASAP.
Some common examples of Dental Emergencies are:
Bitten Lip or Tongue
A bitten lip, cheek, or tongue area should first be cleaned gently with a dampened cloth; then followed by applying a cold compress (i.e.: ice bag). The ice bag application to the area may help reduce swelling. Apply the compress at five minute intervals. If bleeding does not stop, go to a hospital emergency room.

Plano Dentist Denton Wiginton says that a Dental Emergency can be a serious problem and should not be ignored!
Permanent damage and more expense later may be avoided by seeing a dentist ASAP.
Some frequent Dental Emergencies are:
Knocked Out Tooth
The ADA (American Dental Association) recommends that once the tooth is retrieved, it should be held by the crown (the part of the tooth that is usually exposed in the mouth) and rinsed in water if it is dirty. Do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments. If possible, gently insert and hold the tooth in it's socket. If that is not possible, put the tooth in a cup of milk and take it with you to a dentist ASAP. If it is after normal office hours, go to the closest hos [more info...]
Coppell Chiropractic Clinic owner, Dr. Ron Carpenter of Coppell Family Chiropractic, advises you to eat healthy local foods from the Coppell Farmers Market.
Everyone knows the Coppell Farmers Market is the place to go for the healthiest choices of fruits, vegetables, and meats, but sometimes in their pursuit of the Best Veggies, one of the best products in the market is overlooked. Now as a Doctor I know too much about the horrible problems and risks associated with synthetic sweeteners, and the best solution I know of for a healthy sweetener, is good old fashioned Honey!
Honey is as old as written history, dating back to 2100 B.C. In the Old Testament of the Bible, Israel was often referred to as "the land of milk and honey." Mead, [more info...]
Lewisville Chiropractor asks... Stressed Out? ... Eat Onions April 26, 2009
Lewisville Chiropractor, Ron Carpenter, owner of Carpenter Family Chiropractic, advises that if you are stressed out you should eat more onions.
The sprinkles we got Saturday didn't slow Farmers Market traffic down, (or the produce to be picked over the next couple of weeks). Those who went looking for variety certaintly found it. Shoppers could find farm-raised meat, fresh seafood, handmade soaps, honey, breads, pasta, tea, nuts, plants and an awesome collection of farm-fresh fruits & vegetables including spinach, chard, lettuce, potatoes, beets, turnips, radishes, tomatoes, greens, strawberries, and onions.
Oh, the lowly and boring onion. Onions are one of those vegetables people tend to love or hate. If you happen to be from the [more info...]
Coppell Chiropractor asks "Are you a Locavore?" April 18, 2009
Coppell Chiropractor Ron Carpenter, owner of Coppell Family Chiropractic, asks if you are a Lavacore?
Locavores are people who derive their foods from local sources. They do this for a variety of reasons, including; They are fresher (and last longer), they preserve green space and farmland, local farms have less negative environmental impact, they promote food safety, they create community, supports our local economy and promotes variety.
Locally grown produce is also healthier for you. When you buy a tomato from a grocer, there is a real good chance that tomato came from somewhere else. The problem is that if you pick a ripe tomato in San Diego, it is very hard to get it to Texas before it begins to decompose. What happens is the t [more info...]

Coppell Chiropractor, Dr. Ron Carpenter with Coppell Family Chiropractic, has been advocating changes in nutrition to eliminate toxins and improve health and wellness.
Are folks just starting to realize that there are toxins in nearly everything that we eat and touch? This isn't something new. Let's start with TOXINS 101:
Generally speaking, a toxin is something the body does not recognize. The body seldom even takes the risk to distinguish good from bad toxins. If the body doesn't recognize it, it will try to destroy it. If that doesn't work it will engulf it in a ball of fat and bury it in as deep a hole as it can, hoping you never need to burn it.
Our skin is great in helping protect us from some toxins. If the body recognizes a [more info...]
Dr. Ron Carpenter, a Coppell Chiropractor, share thoughts on a serious subject, taking responsibility for your own health and wellness.
I need to apologize ahead of time.....because I am about to rant.
I got an email asking my opinion on synthetic sugars, Aspartame to be exact. It just so happens I do have an opinion on this.......and you won't have to be an attorney to understand which way I'm leaning on this one.
I spoke earlier of toxins, and I believe the very easiest way to get good food without toxins is to get food that God made. It seems the more some clever guy in a lab coat fiddles around with something, the better chance it has of being dangerous.
Back to synthetic sugars, I don't like them, not one little bit. I don' [more info...]

What do we do about it now?
It amazes me how some people wait a week or two to evaluate an injury, they just keep going when their body is screaming at them to stop. THAT IS WHAT SYMPTOMS ARE. We grow up being taught to "walk it off", or "get back up on the horse" , and that's what people do, thinking it's going to go away like it did last t [more info...]
Lewisville Chiropractor Dr. Ron Carpenter continues with his series of articles about toxins effects on health and wellness and ways to get rid of toxins.
Now that I've raised your blood pressure and concern about toxins being everywhere, let's get this problem solved. How can I get rid of toxins?
Not as hard as you might think. Most people understand that a large risk involves our largest organ, the skin. We are literally swimming around in toxins most of everyday, and our layers of skin do a remarkable job keeping us safe from most toxins.
Nearly just as important is our second largest organ, the liver. Of its many jobs, one of the most critical is its ability to pull toxins out of everything that passes through it. Think of it l [more info...]
Coppell Chiropractic Center Owner, Dr. Ron Carpenter, a Chiropractor, know that toxins can kill and wants to share things you can do to keep optimum health.
NOTE: Be sure to read the 1st Article in the Live Toxin Free series and also the 2nd Article.
So someone emailed me and asked: where do these toxins come from?
Honestly, the list of where toxins are not would be a shorter list. They are in the air, our water, prescription medications, vaccinations, and food. The most toxic place we spend time everyday is our own homes. Even if a home is new enough that you don't have to worry about radon, asbestos, and black mold, it's likely that dust mites and pollen and other airborne agents are milling around. Also, there are arsenides in m [more info...]
