Most of us understand that sugar is the number one enemy of our teeth. Sugar fuels the acids that cause tooth decay and cavities. Did you know that eating fruits and vegetables is not only good for your body, but it actually promotes oral health? When you eat fruits and vegetables it neutralizes acids and increases your saliva flow, which helps wash away the food debris and plaque that causes tooth decay. Your dentist in Ft. Worth, TX discusses how healthy eating habits promote optimum oral health.
Don’t Forget: Regular Dental Check-ups Prevent Future Problems
October 22, 2014
For some predictions, you don’t need a crystal ball: Take care of your teeth today and your teeth are far less likely to give you trouble tomorrow. Perhaps that’s why the American Dental Association recommends everyone visit the dentist at least twice yearly for a regular exam and teeth cleaning. If the time has come for your dental check-up, Dr. Renee Corbitt and her team in Fort Worth, TX, are ready to help you keep your teeth healthy today and tomorrow.
Step-by-Step Dental Check-up
The first thing Dr. Corbitt or the dental hygienist will do at your dental check-up is talk to you in order to find out if you’ve noticed anything different about your oral health. Be sure to mention any concerns that you have. Likewise, if you’ve been thinking of a cosmetic procedure, we’ll be happy to discuss the goals you have for your smile. We want your teeth to be healthy and look their best.
Next, we’ll carefully examine your teeth for cavities or any other signs of decay. If necessary, x-rays will be taken in order to see decay that may be invisible to the naked eye. We’ll also check to make sure your gums are healthy. Gum disease, both gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious conditions that not only affect your oral health, but may affect your general health, too. An oral cancer screening and sleep apnea screening will be part of your regular dental check-up, too. With these careful examinations, we can catch little problems and treat them conservatively before they become big problems.
Last but certainly not least, the dental hygienist will thoroughly clean, polish, floss and rinse your teeth, removing any tartar or plaque. Don’t forget: repeat in six months for optimal oral health and the brightest smile!

If you know the time has come for your six-month dental check-up call the office of Dr. Renee Corbitt today. We’ll be glad to schedule your appointment. We serve patients in Fort Worth, TX, as well as Arlington, Richland Hills, Forest Hill and Haltom City and throughout the DFW Metroplex.
Dental Crowns for a Healthier Smile in Fort Worth, TX
October 10, 2014
A smile isn’t only a window into your mood and personality, it’s also a very telling sign of your overall health. Studies have shown that strong and healthy teeth are directly linked to good general health. After all, you use your teeth to eat nutritious foods. So, if one of those teeth becomes compromised due to decay or injury, you can’t afford not to care for it. In some cases, that care requires a dental crown. Dr. Renee Corbitt and her team in Fort Worth, TX, are experienced in crown work for teeth that are broken, worn or damaged by decay.
Specifically, dental crowns, also commonly known as caps, are used to:
- Repair a tooth weakened or broken by decay or a severe crack
- Cover a dental implant
- Hold a dental bridge in place
- Conceal misshapen or badly discolored teeth
Dental crowns fully encase a damaged tooth above the gum line. The crown is cemented into place over the tooth, thereby restoring its functionality, strength and appearance. While crowns were formerly made of gold or an amalgam of metals, most today are made of tooth-colored porcelain. Thus, they are not only strong, they look natural, too.
The Dental Crown Procedure
If Dr. Corbitt determines that a dental crown is the appropriate procedure to repair one of your teeth, then she will first take an impression of the existing tooth—or teeth. From this impression, a dental lab will fabricate a custom crown that is the correct size, shape and color. While the lab is constructing your permanent crown, Dr. Corbitt will affix a temporary over your tooth. Once the custom crown is cemented to the tooth, it will gives you years and years of use with normal oral hygiene care.

Sleep Apnea Treatment and Snoring Solutions in Fort Worth, TX with Renee Corbitt, DDS
September 20, 2014
Snoring is undeniably a nuisance that can lead to rifts between partners and roommates. While loud snoring has been known to cause problems for millions of men and women across the country, these common nighttime noises may signal an even bigger issue. Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that is typically characterized by excessive snoring, and its health implications certainly warrant closer inspection than many realize. At Renee Corbitt, DDS in Fort Worth, TX, Dr. Corbitt and her team specialize in sleep apnea treatment, helping patients reduce their risk of potentially serious health complications and ensuring a lifetime of more restful nights.
Why Treat Sleep Apnea?
If you’ve ever slept in a room with someone who snores loudly, you know how disruptive this behavior can be. When sleep apnea is the underlying cause of snoring, the inability to take in sufficient oxygen becomes the central focus of treatment. In cases of obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, the tongue, soft palate, and throat are positioned improperly, impeding the flow of air as the patient sleeps. The patient may cease breathing for minutes at a time, causing an unsafe drop in blood oxygen levels. Left untreated, sleep apnea may contribute to heart disease, chronic daytime fatigue, respiratory failure, and more.
Fortunately, there are a number of ways to treat obstructive sleep apnea, including OSA therapy at Renee Corbitt, DDS. For mild to moderate cases, a customized sleep appliance may be recommended. This comfortable mouthguard is worn only at night, keeping the jaw, tongue, and other soft tissues in their correct positions. The patient is able to breathe easily throughout the night, finally free of airway obstruction and snoring.
Finally Get the Rest You Deserve
If you suspect that you or your partner suffers from sleep apnea, contact our office in Fort Worth, TX today to schedule your screening with Dr. Corbitt. We look forward to providing you with the treatment you need so that you can rest easily and healthily. Our warm, welcoming office proudly serves patients from throughout all of the DFW Metroplex, including Fort Worth, Forest Hill, Haltom City, Richland Hills, Arlington, and beyond.

At Renee Corbitt, DDS in Fort Worth, TX, our extensive menu of available cosmetic dentistry services features everything you need to completely revitalize your smile, including professional teeth whitening.
Whiter Teeth for Fort Worth, TX Patients
As teeth whitening gains popularity and becomes more common, over-the-counter whitening brands continue to boast amazing results achieved at home. While many of these products are capable of making a minor change to the shade of your teeth, the truth is that these formulas simply are not powerful enough to eliminate deep, set-in discoloration.
In order to remove years of stains caused by tobacco, tea, coffee, red wine, and more, Dr. Corbitt treats her patients to professional-grade teeth whitening solutions. Stains that are resistant to whitening toothpastes and store-bought kits are quickly and effectively lifted, revealing a bright, beautiful smile you’ll actually feel confident sharing with the people who matter most.
While it is true that teeth whitening can make you appear years younger than you are, the benefits of a whiter smile go well beyond the realm of aesthetics. Patients who have undergone teeth whitening at our office say that they feel more confident, comfortable, and charismatic in both professional and personal interactions. What are you missing when you hide your smile? Let Dr. Corbitt show you how much more fulfilling daily life can be with a whiter, more luminous smile.
