Oral Cancer Screenings
Catch oral cancer early with regular visits to an Enamel Dentistry studio in Texas.
Gain Peace Of Mind With Early Detection
Oral cancer screenings are very important. Sadly, oral cancer is hard to detect until Stage III or IV and has spread throughout the body. However, early stages can be caught with proper screenings. At a regular visit, one of our dentists will look for lesions, discoloration, and other signs while asking health questions to understand your oral cancer risk.
Here's How We Help You Detect Oral Cancer
6 Month Check-Ups
Come in regularly. Don't wait until you suspect a problem. Instead, stay proactive with frequent visits.
Cancer Screenings
Get exams for abnormalities. We'll look for lumps, lesions, discoloration, and more with cameras and digital imaging.
Biopsy Basics
Biopsies are quick and painless. With numbing we'll remove anything abnormal and send it away for tests.
Receiving Results
No further action if negative. In the rare case, you have a positive result, we'll refer you to a trusted oncology specialist.

What’s the Deal with Charcoal Tooth Paste?
Charcoal toothpaste (also called black toothpaste) has been marketed as a healthy, natural way to whiten your teeth—but does it really make good on that promise?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vgpXm7iyz30
Activated charcoal, which is one of the main ingredients in this kind of toothpaste, has long been used to bind toxins; in fact, that’s one of the ideas behind putting it in toothpaste—binding and pulling bacteria, tartar, and stains from your teeth. Charcoal dental care isn’t a new idea; Hippocrates of Ancient Greece believed it was an ideal treatment for black gums and bad breath, and it was advertised as a way to freshen your breath and remove tobacco stains in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Natural Isn’t Always Better
The first thing to know about whitening toothpaste is none of them actually whiten your teeth; all they do is remove stains. The second (and more important) thing to know about charcoal toothpaste is that it’s highly abrasive, so even if it does absorb harmful compounds on your teeth, it’s also scraping away at the surface of your teeth every time you brush. One study found that tooth surfaces became significantly rougher after only a month of using charcoal toothpaste compared to regular toothpaste.
If roughened tooth surfaces sound like bad news to you, you’re right! The roughened texture means enamel loss. Once enamel is gone, it can’t be replaced—even worse, it makes your teeth much more vulnerable to decay. Also, most brands of charcoal toothpaste don’t contain fluoride, which is essential for preventing cavities. Not to mention, charcoal dental products aren’t backed by the American Dental Association or the FDA.
Although charcoal toothpaste can help get rid of surface stains, it’s probably best to avoid it altogether.
For a Whiter Smile, Turn to the Experts
The most effective way to get a brighter, whiter smile is with professional teeth whitening at Enamel Dentistry. We use custom trays that protect your gums from sensitivity and harsh bleaching agents, and we can whiten your teeth by up to 5-10 shades in a single office visit.

Tooth troubles? Here are some common FAQ's
In most cases, the answer is no. Gum health issues like gingivitis are very rare in toddlers. If your toddler’s gums are swollen and tender, this is likely due to the natural teething process. As the teeth begin to move beneath the surface of the gums, the gums may look swollen or red, and seem inflamed. Your toddler may also be cranky or complain of pain in their mouth if they’re old enough to do so. However, this is completely normal. As their tooth erupts, their gums will stop swelling and will become less inflamed. Once the tooth has fully erupted, you will no longer notice any serious inflammation or swelling around the area.
If your gums start bleeding while you’re flossing, should you keep flossing? Absolutely! Bleeding while flossing is often a sign that you need to be flossing your gums more thoroughly or frequently—not that they should be left alone. It might sound counterintuitive, but the more you floss, the less your gums will bleed, unless the bleeding is related to physical damage to your gum tissue or a systemic issue. Many patients will stop flossing an area that bleeds, but the best thing to do is to give that area more attention!

Enamel Dentistry offers emergency care and expert root canal therapy, and we want to make sure that our patients are informed about the signs and symptoms of infected teeth. Here are a few things to keep in mind about emergency dental care and root canal therapy in Austin:
