A Close-By Dental Home for the Villages of Woodland Springs
The Villages of Woodland Springs is a master-planned community in north Fort Worth. It is part of the City of Fort Worth in Tarrant County, while its neighborhood school, Woodland Springs Elementary, belongs to Keller ISD. Its homeowners association describes it as a family-friendly community in the heart of North Fort Worth.
Life in the Villages of Woodland Springs revolves around the outdoors. The homeowners association runs six pools, miles of greenbelt trails for walking and biking, and ponds scattered between the streets. Bray Birch Park has sand volleyball, a baseball diamond and tetherball, and the Old Denton Pool area even has an outdoor hockey rink.
A neighborhood like that keeps parents busy. Our office is set up to make dental care fit around the school week instead of fighting it. Saturday hours give working parents a weekday-free option, and our team can communicate by text when a quick question comes up between visits.
When something goes wrong, such as a sudden toothache or a tooth cracked on the court, we reserve openings for same-day visits so urgent problems do not wait for the next free week. For routine care, Saturday morning checkups let families from the Villages of Woodland Springs keep weekdays clear for school and work.
Parents who have let their own checkups slide can start fresh, too. New patients without insurance can book our $99 cleaning, exam and x-ray visit, which includes a comprehensive cleaning, a thorough exam and any necessary x-rays (*for new patients without insurance and in the absence of periodontal disease). It is an easy first step before bringing the kids in.
What Villages of Woodland Springs Parents Should Know About Kids' Teeth
Children's teeth change fast between kindergarten and middle school. Baby teeth hold space for the permanent ones, and the first permanent molars usually arrive around age six. Those molars have deep grooves that trap food, which is why sealants and regular cleanings matter so much in the early school years.
Active kids also need protection. Baseball, basketball, volleyball and hockey can all lead to chipped or loosened teeth. A properly fitted guard from our mouthguards service cushions the teeth during practices and games, and a guard that feels comfortable is one a child will actually keep in.
Summer in the Villages of Woodland Springs means long days at the pool, and that brings its own risks. Slippery decks and diving games are a common source of chipped front teeth. Keep our number in your phone so you can call quickly if an accident happens.
Game-day snacks deserve a mention as well. Crackers, fruit snacks and chips stick in the grooves of molars long after the final out of a long tournament day. A rinse with water between games helps, and a fluoride treatment at each checkup adds another layer of protection for enamel that is still maturing.
Teenagers bring a different set of questions. Wisdom teeth, retainers after braces and whitening before senior photos all come up at this age. Our office handles each of these under one roof, so a teen who has grown up with us does not need to start over somewhere new.
Bite and spacing questions often show up around ages seven to nine. Our practice offers early orthodontic intervention, so parents can raise crowding or bite concerns at a routine checkup. Dr. Alswaiti will lay out the options and the timing in plain terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Keller Family Dentistry from the Villages of Woodland Springs, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 6 miles from Woodland Springs Elementary, roughly a 13-minute drive. Take Woodland Springs Dr to Keller-Hicks Rd, follow US 377 south through Keller, then turn east on N Tarrant Pkwy. For families who want a dentist near Villages of Woodland Springs without freeway driving, the whole route stays on surface streets.
Do baby teeth really need fillings if they will fall out anyway?
Often, yes. Baby teeth hold space for the permanent teeth, help children chew and speak clearly, and some stay in place until about age twelve. A cavity left alone can grow into pain or infection that disrupts sleep and school. Dr. Alswaiti will show you what he sees and walk you through the options, including tooth-colored fillings.
Are sports drinks bad for kids' teeth?
They can be, because most sports drinks combine sugar with acid, and sipping them slowly through a long game keeps teeth under attack. Water is the better choice for most kids' practices. If your child does drink one, finishing it quickly and rinsing with water afterward limits the damage to enamel.
Can a knocked-out permanent tooth be saved?
Often, yes, if the tooth is handled gently and treated quickly. Hold it by the crown, rinse it if it is dirty and try to set it back in the socket. If that is not possible, keep it in milk and call us right away. We reserve openings for same-day visits for urgent problems like this.
How much toothpaste should my child use?
Use a smear about the size of a grain of rice for children under three, then a pea-sized amount from age three on. That small dose of fluoride toothpaste protects enamel without much being swallowed. Brush for your child until they can do it well alone, and our team can show older kids how to reach the back molars.
