At Magnolia Mountain Dentistry, our goal is to preserve your natural teeth using minimally invasive techniques that promote long-term health and comfort. Led by Dr. Ashley Gates, our team offers innovative treatments like Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), nutritional counseling, and a holistic approach to identifying the root causes of cavities.
Comprehensive Cavity Care
Minimally invasive dentistry focuses on early treatment of dental issues and the prevention of future damage. Whether you have minor decay or are seeking preventive solutions, we provide gentle and effective care. Our services go beyond traditional treatments, offering personalized solutions that fit your lifestyle and goals.
Medical Management of Cavities Using SDF
For patients seeking non-invasive cavity treatment, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is an excellent option. SDF helps stop cavity progression without the need for drilling or fillings. Additionally, SDF can be applied without the need for numbing, ensuring a comfortable experience. This makes it an ideal choice for young children, older adults, or anyone with dental anxiety. Here's how SDF works:
- Stops cavity progression
- Strengthens enamel
- Reduces discomfort compared to traditional fillings

Nutritional Counseling for Cavity Prevention
Preventing cavities often begins with improving your diet. Our nutritional counseling services help you make informed food choices that reduce the risk of tooth decay. By cutting back on processed sugars and incorporating tooth-healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and dairy, you can protect your oral health.
At Magnolia Mountain Dentistry, we take a holistic approach. Our holistic dentistry services are designed to support your overall well-being while maintaining a healthy smile.
Finding and Addressing the Root Cause of Cavities
Cavities aren't just caused by sugar. Factors like genetics, pH balance, oral hygiene habits, oral microbiome, and dry mouth all contribute to tooth decay. Dr. Ashley Gates works with patients to uncover the underlying causes of cavities.
Our focus on preventive care helps you avoid more invasive treatments down the line, ensuring that your oral health remains in top shape. Explore our preventive care options under general dentistry.
