I have been a patient of Dr Mullins for 3 1/2 years now and he is awesome! Very attentive and knowledgeable. Gives you his 100% attention and provides the best option/s for your care. I trust him with all dental care for my 2 daughters, husband and myself. Dr Mullins also has an awesome team! Very kind and helpful. Love that they are always willing to work with your schedule, there is never a long wait time once you get to their office and love the email& text reminders (so very helpful). Just recently had my wisdom teeth extractions and it was the easiest and painless as possible! I am truly convinced even more so now that I have chosen the best care for my family’s dental needs. I highly recommend My Family Dentistry!

Fight Gingivitis
The best way to best gum disease is to prevent it. Flossing daily plays a vital role in removing harmful bacteria as well as plaque buildup from between your teeth and gums.
Freshen Breath
Gum disease is caused by bacteria. Too many bacteria contribute to chronic bad breath. Flossing regularly can improve your breath.
Remove Food Particles
Anytime you eat, there is a chance that small bits of food will become stuck. Those particles can become fuel for the bad bacteria we mentioned above. Flossing can dislodge the food for you.
