Protect Your Teeth for a Lifetime of Great Oral Health!

Would you like to find a way to protect your teeth from decay and sensitivity? Would you like to reduce your need for dental fillings in the future? Byars Dental is now offering fluoride application as an important service to adults as well as all of the children we see in our practice.

This important service is typically done with fluoride varnish, a clear liquid that is brushed onto the teeth after the professional cleaning appointment. This only takes 1-2 minutes and will protect your teeth from decay, allowing you to keep your permanent teeth much longer.

If any of the following conditions apply to you, fluoride varnish would be of great benefit.

-you drink bottled water
-gum recession
-sensitive teeth to hot or cold
-multiple fillings or crowns present
-taking medications that cause dry mouth
-recently completed dental work
-frequent teeth grinder
-tobacco use
-soda or sugary beverage drinker
-family history of dental decay
-currently wear braces
-use of home whitening products
-limited hand dexterity
-frequent use of hard candy or mints
-acid reflux

Give us a call today at 816-781-8222 and find out how fluoride varnish can benefit you!

Pure Joy that Spring is here at Byars Dental!!!

Don't worry, be happy!!! Lovely Spring weather will resume soon! Put a smile back on your face. Have a great day from Byars Dental!

Spring has sprung at Byars Dental

The flowers are blooming and we see buds on the trees. The smell of fresh cut grass is in the air! The start of Spring brings a smile to our faces here at Byars Dental. We have a wonderful view of Spring from our oversized windows in each of our operatories. Be sure to wave when you drive by! Golf? Of course!

Daley Byars is so excited for Spring, she wanted to wear her little orphan Annie hat!

National Children's Dental Health Month

Did you know that February is National Children's Dental Health Month? Good oral healthcare habits start at an early age. Teach your child the importance of regular brushing and flossing and try to reduce sugary liquids from your child's diet. When soda is consumed, be sure that your child brushes or at the very least, rinses her mouth out with water to reduce acid, the byproduct of the metabolism of sugars. Give them the benefit of healthy teeth for a lifetime!

We recently visited the Liberty, Missouri Early Childhood Center and talked about the importance of good oral hygiene to 250 kids ages 3-5. We had a great time and saw some awesome smiles!

Kids, no need to fear, we just got Santa fixed up for his run this year!

Even Santa Claus runs into the occasional snafu! Too many cookies post last Dec. 25th have lead to a nasty abscess and a non-restorable tooth #14 for ole Saint Nick. Never Fear. Byars Dental, the *official dentist of Santa Claus, (*-non official, official dentist) has come to the rescue so that your friend and mine can make it out on his route this year. Shortly after Jan. 1st, when his insurance benefit rolls over, he will return to us for an implant and crown. Have a Happy Holiday Season!

This is a picture of Dr. Byars with Chiefs wide receiver Bobby Wade and Tarrah. Bobby, you have a great looking smile! I bet you were smiling even wider on Sunday after the Chiefs beat the Steelers!
