Menopause changes a lot of things… and yes, your teeth can feel it too.

As oestrogen levels drop, you may notice:
• Increased tooth sensitivity
• Bleeding or tender gums
• A dry mouth feeling
• Even changes in taste

Hormones don’t just affect mood and sleep. They influence your gums, saliva flow, and the protective barrier around your teeth. When that balance shifts, sensitivity can creep in, especially with hot coffee or cold water.

The good news? You don’t have to just “put up with it.” There are simple ways to strengthen enamel, soothe sensitivity, and protect your gums during this phase of life.

If you’ve noticed changes in your mouth recently, let’s talk about it. Call us at (281) 488-4617 to book your appointment and get personalised guidance for this season. Your smile deserves support at every stage. 💛

There’s a side effect of Ozempic your doctor won’t warn you about — but your dentist sees it every single day.
It’s being called “Ozempic teeth.”
If you’re on a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound — your mouth is paying a price no one told you about.
Here’s what’s actually happening inside your mouth:
These medications suppress your appetite. Great for weight loss. But they also suppress your thirst — so you’re drinking less water without realizing it. They slow digestion, which can trigger acid reflux and vomiting. And they reduce saliva production.
Your saliva is your mouth’s built-in defense system. Without enough of it, your pH drops. Bacteria multiply. Plaque builds up faster. Enamel starts breaking down.
That’s why dentists across the country are seeing patients on these medications show up with rapid decay, increased sensitivity, enamel erosion — and in some cases, cracked or lost teeth.
The scary part? Most people have no idea their medication is connected to what’s happening in their mouth.
The good part? This is completely manageable when you know what to do.
I put together a list of simple, actionable steps you can start today to protect your teeth while staying on your medication.
Comment “SHOW ME” below and I’ll send it to you.

Struggling with feeding or speech? It might not be “just a phase.” 👶🦷

Tongue tie, also known as ankyloglossia, occurs when the band of tissue under the tongue restricts its movement 👶🦷
In children, this can affect feeding, speech development, breathing patterns, oral hygiene, and even jaw growth over time.

Some signs parents may notice include difficulty latching as an infant, mouth breathing, speech challenges, trouble sticking the tongue out, or frustration while eating. Not every tongue tie requires treatment, but early evaluation is important to prevent long-term functional concerns.

Early intervention can support proper feeding, clearer speech development, healthier breathing, and optimal oral growth. The sooner concerns are identified, the more conservative and effective treatment can be.

If you have questions about your child’s oral development, call (281) 488-4617 to schedule an evaluation with Dassani Dentistry.

Tooth loss is common, but it isn’t a natural part of aging 🙅‍♀️
In fact, teeth are one of the hardest substances in the human body and can last long after death. That durability is exactly why, with proper care, many people can keep their natural teeth for life.

Most tooth loss happens due to preventable or manageable issues like gum disease, untreated decay, grinding, or delayed care — not age itself. Understanding this helps shift the focus toward prevention rather than acceptance.

If you have concerns about your gums, bite, or haven’t had a dental visit in a while, we’re here to help.

If you are new here… Welcome 🤗

I’m Dr Meghna Dassani.
Dentist. Healthy Sleep Ninja. Mom. Wife. Cupcake-obsessed CE ju**ie

I didn’t choose dentistry just to fix teeth.
I chose it because the mouth tells the truth about the whole body.

For over 30 years, I’ve practiced dentistry with one belief at the center of everything I do:
your oral health is directly connected to your overall health, energy, and quality of life.

I’m a dentist, a practice owner, and a lifelong student of how the airway, breathing, sleep, and jaw development affect not just smiles - but how people feel every single day.

If you’ve ever been told:
• “Your teeth look fine, but something still feels off”
• “Snoring is normal”
• “You’re just tired because life is busy”

…I don’t believe in stopping there.

My approach is thorough, thoughtful, and personalized. I look beyond teeth - at function, airway, balance, and long-term health - because I’ve seen how much changes when we do.

I’ve spent decades caring for families, building a practice rooted in trust, and staying at the forefront of modern dentistry so my patients don’t just get treatment - they get answers.

This office isn’t about rushing, upselling, or one-size-fits-all care.
It’s about listening, precision, and doing things right.

If you’re here, you’re not just another appointment.
You’re someone who deserves to feel heard - and cared for - every step of the way.

Welcome.
I’m glad you’re here.

Emergency rooms can help manage pain, but they don’t treat the root cause of dental problems 🦷⚠️
Tooth pain severe enough to send someone to the ER is often the result of untreated decay, infection, or gum disease that could have been caught earlier.

Regular dental visits help identify issues before they turn into emergencies, saving you discomfort, time, and unnecessary costs. Preventive care isn’t just about your smile — it’s about protecting your overall health.

If you’re experiencing ongoing sensitivity, pain, or haven’t had a check-up in a while, now is a good time to come in.

Many people grind or clench their teeth at night without ever knowing it 😬
In fact, up to 1 in 10 adults experience sleep bruxism, often with no obvious daytime symptoms.

Night-time grinding can quietly lead to worn enamel, jaw tension, headaches, tooth sensitivity, and even cracked teeth over time 🦷⚠️ It’s commonly linked to stress, bite imbalance, and sleep or breathing issues.

The earlier bruxism is identified, the easier it is to manage and protect your teeth and jaw.
If you’re waking up with jaw soreness, headaches, or noticing tooth wear, it’s worth getting checked.

Call (281) 488-4617 to book an appointment with Dassani Dentistry.

Tooth alignment affects more than just your bite 🦷
It can influence how your jaw functions, how evenly your teeth wear, and even how you breathe during sleep.

Misalignment may contribute to bruxism, where teeth grind or clench under strain. Over time, this can lead to worn enamel, jaw pain, headaches, and tooth sensitivity 😬⚠️
In some cases, bite and jaw positioning can also impact airway space, which plays a role in breathing quality, especially at night 😴

Every smile is different, and not everyone needs treatment. But understanding how alignment, grinding, and breathing are connected helps support long-term oral and overall health.

If you have concerns about jaw tension, grinding, or bite function, call (281) 488-4617 to book a consultation with Dassani Dentistry.
