A Family Dental Home for the Villages of Woodland Springs
The Villages of Woodland Springs is a master-planned community inside the City of Fort Worth, bounded by Keller-Hicks Rd on the south, Caylor Rd on the north, Katy Rd on the east and Alta Vista on the west. Its homeowners association describes it as a family-friendly neighborhood, and the amenities back that up: six community pools, greenbelt trails, ponds and several sports courts. Many of its children attend Keller ISD schools, beginning with Woodland Springs Elementary.
Families with that many activities need a dental office that keeps things simple. Dr. Nason sets aside enough time at each visit to examine the teeth, explain what she finds and answer questions from both parents and kids. Nobody is hurried out of the chair, and treatment is planned together through what she calls co-diagnosis. Kids who feel heard tend to be far more relaxed at the next appointment.
Having one doctor for the whole household helps too. Dr. Nason knows each child's history from visit to visit, which makes it easier to notice a new habit, an early cavity or a change in the bite before it turns into a bigger repair. Siblings' charts sit side by side, so recurring patterns are easy to compare.
What Woodland Springs Families Should Know About Sports and Smiles
Few neighborhoods offer as many ways to play. Bray Birch Park has sand volleyball and a baseball diamond, the Old Denton Pool area adds an outdoor hockey rink and pickleball, and Woodland Springs Neighborhood Park strings six fountain ponds together along a trail of nearly a mile. Kids and adults here spend a lot of time moving fast, which raises the odds of a chipped or loosened tooth.
A custom sports mouthguard is the simplest protection. Because it is shaped to the wearer's own teeth, it stays in place better than a generic guard and is less likely to end up in a bag on the bench. We recommend one for contact sports, hockey and any game where a ball, stick or elbow can reach the face.
When an accident does happen, timing matters. A knocked-out or cracked tooth has the best chance of being saved when it is seen quickly, so it helps to have a dentist's number saved before you need it. Middle and high school athletes from campuses such as Trinity Springs Middle School and Timber Creek High School fall into the same category.
Parents should also keep an eye on their own sleep. Snoring, waking up tired or grinding at night can be linked to airway problems, and Dr. Nason evaluates the airway when those symptoms come up during a checkup. A custom oral appliance can help once sleep apnea is confirmed.
