When Should I Schedule My Child’s First Dental Appointment?
In this video, Dr. Gloria Stingley explains when children should first see a dentist and how early visits help build comfort and healthy habits.
My practice started as a pediatric practice because I previously worked for the health department.
Many of the children seen through the health department were brought here by their parents to continue care with me. The typical starting age for patients in our office is two and a half years old.
If family members have children and bring them in earlier, we are happy to see them. A parent can hold the child on their lap while we complete the first exam and discuss how to care for the teeth as they erupt. We may not charge for those early visits, but generally, we begin seeing patients at two and a half years of age.
If you’re ready to begin your child’s dental journey, contact Carter-Rockbridge General Dentistry for a free screening to learn more about our pediatric dental treatments.

However, they have some drawbacks that can affect the [...]

Many times, we don’t realize how important something is until it’s gone. We know that teeth help us chew and break down food, but it isn’t until we start living with missing teeth that many patients notice how challenging chewing can become. For edentulous patients who don’t have any teeth, especially seniors, an inability to chew can lead to a [...]
Is a wisdom tooth extraction best for everyone? Not necessarily. In recent years, it’s become increasingly common to monitor healthy wisdom teeth when they’re not causing issues. In fact, today, most adults under 40 have never had their wisdom teeth extracted.

You and all of your loved ones are born with the potential for healthy, beautiful teeth that can last a lifetime. But many people delay dental care when other responsibilities take priority.

Are you struggling with loose removable dentures held in place by denture glue or suction? Dental implant-supported solutions help replicate the look and feel of natural teeth. There are different types of dentures that use implants for support, but one that many patients are excited about is the roundhouse bridge. This describes a full-arch replacement for all the teeth [...]
If you have been missing teeth for a long time, you might have looked into dental implants. However, the conventional route has a reputation for being invasive and lengthy. At Carter-Rockbridge General Dentistry, Dr. Gloria Stingley applies her 30+ years of restorative dentistry to her dental implant practice. Over those three decades, she has helped many patients overcome barriers [...]
A dental bridge can replace a single tooth or a row of teeth with a prosthetic replacement that looks and feels very natural. Two common categories of dental bridges are the traditional bridge and the implant bridge. Each works differently and comes with its own trade-offs, so the right choice depends on your anatomy. As a Norcross dentist who [...]
