Flower Mound, TX – Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease in our children. Teaching your child to brush and floss their teeth each day is the best way to prevent cavities and build oral hygiene habits for life.

Why would a pediatric dentist in Flower Mound want all of your Halloween candy? Because every pound you bring me is one pound of sugar that a Flower Mound child didn’t eat.
