The Dentist Odessa Trusts Cares about your Oral and Overall Health
April 14, 2016
As the body’s main point of entry, so to speak, your mouth has a direct and influential impact on the health of the rest of your body. Not only in terms of what you put in your mouth for nutrition (or, unfortunately, some non-nutritional items, such as tobacco and too much alcohol), but also in terms of the overall condition of your mouth. In other words, if you have a healthy mouth, then chances are your body will be healthier, too. With this in mind, Odessa dentist Dr. Cobb encourages patients to schedule twice yearly preventive dental cleanings and exams, so we can help you have a healthy mouth and body.

Dr. Steve Cobb: Your Odessa Family Dentist
July 15, 2015
As your family and preventive dentist, Dr. Steve W. Cobb wants to partner with you in maintaining your best dental and oral health. With this in mind, we’d like to offer our patients a few pointers on effective brushing and flossing. Everyone knows that your twice daily oral hygiene routine is essential, but that oral hygiene is only as effective as your technique.
First of all, what is good oral hygiene? Good oral hygiene consists of teeth that are clean and free of debris, gums that are pink and don’t bleed when you brush or floss, and breath that is pleasant rather than consistently bad. If your gums do bleed while brushing or flossing, or if you do have bad breath or a foul taste in your mouth, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Cobb. These may be indicators of a more serious condition, such as gum disease or infection. (more…)

How Oral Cancer Screenings Can Save Your Life
January 20, 2015
When was your last oral cancer screening? Oral cancer is one of the deadliest forms of the disease. This isn’t because oral cancers are any more aggressive than other forms of cancer, but because oral cancer is usually found in the later stages of development, when treatment options are limited. For many patients the disease goes undetected for years, because they fail to see a dentist for regular dental checkups. They aren’t aware that dentists perform life saving oral cancer screenings as a routine part of every exam. Since many oral cancer symptoms can be easily disguised as less serious ailments, a problem may not be detected until the cancer has progressed and spread to other parts of the body. Early diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer greatly increases the chances of survival. If it has been more than six months since your last dental checkup, make an appointment with Dr. Cobb, your trusted Odessa family dentist today. Dr. Cobb can provide the oral cancer screenings you need to protect your health. (more…)
