4. You can’t go to the dentist while you’re pregnant. “Getting a dental check-up while you’re pregnant is not only important, it’s completely safe,” Dr. John said. “Your hygienist can clean your teeth and your dentist can safely perform simple procedures like filling cavity, before your baby is born. Your dentist can also help with any pregnancy-related dental symptoms you may be experiencing.” 5. If you have a cavity, you’ll know it. “Tooth decay typically doesn’t manifest symptoms until it’s fairly severe,” Dr. Cody said. “When decay is advanced, it causes pain because of damaged tooth nerve. The best way to make sure it never gets to that point is to check in with us, every six months. Let our outstanding hygienists clean your teeth and let us conduct a thorough exam to catch problems while they’re small and easy to address. It’s never a good idea to postpone dental care.” 6. Tooth sensitivity equals tooth decay. “Not necessary,” said Dr. John. “Sensitivity can be caused by gum recession or teeth hypersensitivity. Brushing the wrong way can wear away the enamel of your teeth exposing nerves. Or a broken or cracked tooth can cause sensitivity. Report any sensitivity to your dentist and let him ascertain the cause.” Drs. John and Cody Bauer believe in taking time to discuss these and other matters in an unhurried, down-home manner. Along with their dynamic staff, they offer the latest, most advanced dentistry in a warm, know-you-by-name atmosphere.

With everything from dentures, crowns, and bridges to extractions and dental implants, Drs. John and Cody Bauer can handle it.

GENERAL DENTISTRY John, Terri, and Cody Bauer place an emphasis on relationships: with their patients, with their family, and with their community. Because it’s always better to preserve the natural tooth than to have to make restorations later, Drs. John and Cody spend time partnering with each patient, teaching them to advocate for their own optimum oral health. This begins with routine cleanings and exams and includes things such as dental sealants and fluoride treatment to keep natural teeth and gums healthy and intact. For three decades, Mansfield families have recommended Mansfield Family Dentistry to their family and friends and have returned, generation after generation, for state-of-the-art care and downhome friendliness.
