With these services, we are able to deeply clean your teeth, restore your oral health, and replace your missing teeth.
We do all of this because we believe you deserve the best oral health possible, and we are here to do everything we can to make sure that happens.
But in order to do so, we also need your help.
We ask that you participate in a daily dental hygiene routine at home, which should include brushing your teeth every morning and every night, flossing once a day, and using a fluoride treatment or mouth wash daily.

In order to restore the health of your tooth, your dentist at Tatum & Cox will need to remove the decay, clean the tooth, and fill it with a dental filling.
We currently offer composite and silver amalgam fillings.
Composite Fillings: This type of filling offers a natural-looking result and is made of a tooth-colored material.
It also provides additional support to the tooth because it is able to chemically bond to the tooth.
This material is not only capable of filling your tooth, but it is also capable of correcting any other tooth imperfections, like cracks, breaks, and fractures.
