Ask Dr. Henagan: When should my child come in for a visit?

January 16th, 2012


At Henagan Team Dentistry, we believe a child’s first visit to the dentist should be enjoyable and positive. The more you and your child know about the first visit, the better you will feel. Children are not born with a fear of the dentist, but they can fear the unknown. And that’s precisely why Dr. Henagan and our team make a practice of using pleasant, non-frightening, simple words to describe your child’s first dental visit and treatment. We want you to feel at ease from the moment your family arrives at our office.

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), children should visit Dr. Henagan by their first birthday. It is important that your child’s newly-erupted teeth (erupting at 6-12 months of age) receive proper dental care and benefit from proper oral hygiene habits right from the beginning. For more information on the advantages of pediatric dentistry at our New Iberia office, please give us a call today to schedule an appointment.

Dreaming of a red carpet smile? We can help!

January 9th, 2012


The fact is, most of us aren’t born with a red carpet smile. And that’s where Dr. Henagan and our team can help. A whiter smile is one just one dentist visit away! ZOOM!® Smile Whitening brightens and whitens your teeth in just one visit. Once you have gone through the Zoom!® treatment we will send you home with an at-home whitening bleaching kit with custom made trays. Using the take home trays will allow you to maintain your desired level of whitening over several months.

While Zoom!® Smile Whitening is a great way to enhance the appearance of your smile, it's not always for everyone. Those with deep, dark stains that remain unaffected by whitening treatments and patients with regular tooth sensitivity may not be good candidates. Find out more about Zoom!® Smile Whitening at our web site; and when you are ready to have a whiter, brighter smile contact Dr. Henagan and team for an evaluation!

This Year, Make a New Year’s Resolution to Smile About!

December 27th, 2011

Let’s face it- when was the last time you managed to keep a New Year’s resolution? We at Henagan Team Dentistry believe the key to sticking to a goal is picking one that is both reasonable and attainable. If you haven’t yet picked a New Year’s resolution, consider setting one that will improve your oral health!
For example, resolve to brush twice and floss once a day. Good oral hygiene only takes a few minutes a day, and can make a big difference in your oral health and overall health too! For more oral health-themed resolutions for you and your family, check out this article.
We would love to see what you come up with, share with us by commenting on this post or on our Facebook page. Whatever your New Year’s Resolution, we wish you the very best for 2012!

-Happy New Year, from your friends at Henagan Team Dentistry
