🐾🦷 We had a very special visitor at the office this week! 🦷🐾
Dr Wright brought his favorite four-legged assistant to work, and let’s just say… the staff wasn’t complaining! ❤️
His dog "Lewie" may not know much about dentistry, but he sure knows how to brighten everyone’s day and put a smile on our faces! 🐶😁
We think he deserves a permanent spot on the team! 🐾🪥

💧 DENTAL EDUCATION: Why Dry Mouth Matters

Dry mouth isn’t just uncomfortable—saliva plays an important role in protecting your smile! 🦷

When your mouth doesn’t produce enough saliva, you may experience:
🦷 Increased risk of cavities
🦠 More plaque buildup
😮‍💨 Bad breath
🔥 Burning or irritated tissues
🥖 Difficulty chewing or swallowing
🗣️ Changes in speaking or taste

Saliva helps wash away food, neutralize harmful acids, and protect your teeth from decay. That’s why ongoing dry mouth is something worth mentioning to your dental team.

💡 Our Go-To for Dry Mouth: StellaLife® products are a favorite in our office for helping support oral comfort and care when dry mouth is a concern.

And don’t forget the basics—sip water regularly and talk with your dental team if dry mouth is persistent so we can help determine what may be contributing to it.

A healthy mouth needs more than brushing and flossing—saliva matters, too! 💧🦷

🦷 Monday Dental Education Fact:
Cavities don’t always hurt! Tooth decay can develop without noticeable symptoms, which is one reason routine dental visits are so important. Don’t wait for a toothache to take care of your smile!

Here are a couple of recent reviews that may help you decide why you should be a patient in our practice!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Karen P.
After several attempts at different dentists in the area without any satisfaction, I scheduled a visit with Smith Mountain Lake Dental. OH. MY. GOD!!! I finally found dental paradise!!! Every single member of the staff was kind, friendly and courteous. Dr. Carter Wright was - hands down - the most thorough dentist I have experienced. He was very detailed in his explanations of everything. The hygienists have given me the most thorough cleanings I have ever received. I highly recommend Smith Mountain Lake Dental for your dental needs - you won’t be disappointed!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alison B. State of the art dental practice. I’ve been seeing Dr Sicher for almost ten years now. He has done excellent implants for me and superb care. His hygienist is very thorough. I have not had any problems since I became a patient here. I highly recommend his practice and services to anyone looking for top-notch dental care
