Sometimes there are changes to your insurance plan or your dental benefits. Other times, especially if you have not been to the dentist in a while, we may need to update your information electronically. You may also have questions for the dentist. Additionally, if the dentist or hygienist finishes the appointment before yours early, you may be able to start your dental treatment ahead of schedule. This gives you more time for your day. You can also download forms from our website to save yourself even more time.
We do request you arrive 10-15 minutes early to your appointment for these reasons. This is especially important for new patients. At Humble Dentistry, your Humble, TX dentist likes us to take a full history. We want to know about your medical history, as well.

The foods and drinks you indulge in play an important role in your oral health and physical wellness. Our dentist recommends a healthy diet, brushing, flossing, and preventive dentistry in Humble, TX, for best results.
While some foods are obviously bad for your teeth—sugary sweets and yummy candies—it may surprise you to learn that fruit juices also contribute to cavities, enamel erosion, and tooth stains. To lower your risks for dental decay, we recommend reducing your intake of the following drinks, which are highly acidic and sugary:
- Fruit juices
- Sodas
- Sports drinks
- Gatorade
It’s equally important to reduce sugary snacks like cookies and candies.
If you do indulge, it’s crucial to brush, floss, and rinse away the debris. If sugar and acids remain on teeth, it breaks down your enamel, which promotes tooth decay.
Alternatives to sugary snacks include nuts, seeds, and carrot sticks.
To reduce stains on your teeth, avoid wines, colorful sauces, and tobacco in all forms.
Remember, healthy foods and drinks are better for your teeth and your body's health.

In general, our healthiest patients with the best oral hygiene are those that use an electric toothbrush. Good oral hygiene depends on the removal of plaque from the teeth. Plaque is the sticky yellow film that harbors bacteria and contributes to inflammation, gum disease, and tooth decay.
An electric toothbrush can be especially helpful for those with braces or other oral appliances, those who struggle with manual dexterity, or those that have very hard to reach places. We would love it if all of our patients used an electric toothbrush, which is why we have both Sonicare and Oral-B toothbrushes available in the office.
What Research Says
Don’t just take our word for it though, our recommendation is based on the best available research. In 2014, the Cochrane Group conducted a systematic review comparing manual and powered toothbrushes. They found that using an electric toothbrush resulted in a 21% reduction in plaque after 3 months of use. It also resulted in an 11% reduction in gingivitis after three months as well. That may not sound like a lot, but better removal of plaque will contribute to a healthier mouth and lower the risk for developing gum disease and tooth decay.
