When to Call Us
You Have Tooth Pain That Won’t Go Away
Persistent tooth pain may signal decay, infection, or nerve irritation. Left untreated, it can lead to more serious dental issues. A visit to your dentist ensures proper diagnosis and relief.
You Have Bleeding When You Brush or Floss
If your gums bleed during daily brushing or flossing, it may indicate inflammation or early-stage gum disease. Timely evaluation helps reverse the problem before it becomes severe.
You’ve Missed Your Regular Cleaning
Skipping your scheduled dental cleaning can allow plaque buildup, which may lead to gum disease and cavities. Regular visits help maintain a healthy mouth and catch issues early.
Your Crown or Filling Is Loose
A loose crown or filling exposes your tooth to bacteria, sensitivity, and damage. Prompt repair protects your tooth’s structure and prevents more invasive treatment down the line.
You’re Experiencing Jaw Pain or Clicking
Clicking, stiffness, or pain in your jaw could be signs of TMJ issues or joint dysfunction. A dentist can assess the cause and offer relief through proper therapy or appliances.
You’ve Noticed Receding Gums
Gum recession exposes tooth roots and increases sensitivity and risk of decay. Early intervention can prevent further tissue loss and protect your smile’s foundation.
You’re Grinding Your Teeth at Night
Nighttime grinding wears down enamel, causes jaw soreness, and may lead to cracked teeth. A custom-fitted night guard can reduce damage and improve comfort while you sleep.

Dr. English is the best dentist I've ever been to. I have a terrible fear of dental work and a low tolerance for pain. Dr. English has given me numbing shots and I literally don't feel a thing! That is a WIN!!! Also the atmosphere is very fun and relaxed! If you're looking for a great dentist, this is the place for you!!

I love Apex Dental! Dr. English and his staff are professional, friendly, and caring. I have had dental anxiety in the past, but they helped me get past being afraid of procedures. They are also very patient with my young son. I would definitely recommend Apex Dental to anyone of any age!

Jacob M.
★★★★★
I've been going to Dr English for about 8 years now. I trust him implicitly with my teeth where I have several dental issues from years of health problems and don't trust just anyone working in my mouth. His work is excellent, and his staff have always been quite pleasant and professional.

★★★★★
After my first visit with Dr. English I now have a very positive outlook on my dental care. His bedside manner cannot be beat. The hygienist was knowledgeable and kind. She kept me updated on everything that was about to happen. From the moment I walked in, the experience was positive.

Exceptional experience. I had a dental emergency. Very informed and informative staff. Folks treat ya like friends rather than numbers. I have never had a better dental visit in my entire life. Dr. Dutton is excellent—super friendly and he explained everything in detail. My partner and I will definitely be moving to Apex with the kids.
