Where Saginaw Families Find a Dental Home
Saginaw calls itself the city of "Train and Grain," and the name fits. Union Pacific and BNSF main lines run through the middle of town, and the grain elevators near the city center stand out for miles. The Burrus Mill elevator was once the largest in Texas. Today Saginaw is a family suburb in north-central Tarrant County, about ten miles northwest of downtown Fort Worth.
Family life here centers on school calendars, ballgames and city events like the Train & Grain Festival. Most children attend Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD schools. For busy households, one office that sees toddlers, teens and parents saves a lot of juggling. Saturday hours at our Keller office mean checkups do not have to pull kids out of class.
Some problems cannot wait for the next open Saturday, though. A swollen cheek, a broken tooth or a lost filling deserves quick attention, so we reserve openings for same-day visits when urgent problems come up. Calling early in the day gives us the most room to fit you in. Our team can also text with you about scheduling.
The town started out under a different name, Dido, before taking the Saginaw name in 1882. Residents also enjoy Willow Creek Park on Knowles Dr, with jogging paths, tennis courts and disc golf. Whatever the age of your home, the dental basics stay the same: steady checkups, early treatment and a dentist who explains things clearly.
Helping Saginaw Kids Build Healthy Smiles Early
Childhood cavities are common and usually preventable. The back teeth have deep grooves that trap food, and young brushers often miss them. Sealants coat those chewing surfaces with a thin protective layer, and fluoride treatments at checkups help harden enamel. Both take only a few minutes and involve no drilling.
A child's first visit sets the tone for years. We keep it short and gentle, with a look at the teeth, a light cleaning when the child is ready and plenty of explanation for parents. Kids who learn early that the dental chair is a calm place tend to keep coming back as teens. Parents also get practical tips on brushing, flossing and snacks.
Some children and adults feel uneasy at the dentist no matter how friendly the room. Nitrous oxide can help patients relax during treatment, and oral sedation is available for adults after an individual evaluation, with a responsible adult driving them home. We also use The Wand®, a computer-controlled system for delivering local anesthetic. Together these options make longer visits easier to manage.
Parents need care too. A toothache from an old filling or a cracked molar can turn into a root canal if it waits too long. Our endodontic microscope and rotary instruments help Dr. Alswaiti clean and seal the inside of a tooth with precision, and a crown protects it afterward. Saving a natural tooth is almost always the first goal.
Busy parents also tend to overlook their gums. Bleeding when you brush or floss, gums that look puffy, or teeth that feel slightly loose can all point to gum disease. A thorough exam measures the pockets around each tooth, and a deep cleaning can stop early disease before it damages the bone. Regular cleanings for the adults in the house protect the whole family's routine, not just the kids'.

Children's Dentistry
From the very first appointment through the teen years, children receive care matched to their age. Parents hear what to watch for at home, from thumb habits to new molars.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Keller Family Dentistry from Saginaw, and how do I get there?
From Saginaw City Hall, the office is about 10 miles away, roughly a 20-minute drive. Take W McLeroy Blvd east, N Blue Mound Rd north, Basswood Blvd east across I-35W, then US 377 north to N Tarrant Pkwy. For families choosing a dentist Saginaw, TX drivers can reach without tolls, it is a simple trip.
What happens at a child's first dental visit?
A first visit is short, gentle and mostly about getting comfortable. Dr. Alswaiti looks at the teeth and gums, checks how they are developing and, if the child is ready, does a light cleaning. Parents get guidance on brushing, diet and habits. The goal is a positive experience that makes the next visit easy.
How can I tell if my child has a cavity?
Often you cannot, because early cavities rarely hurt or show up in the mirror. Later signs include sensitivity to sweets or cold, pain when chewing and brown or white spots on the teeth. Digital x-rays and a careful exam at each checkup find cavities while they are still small and simple to fill.
Do you offer fluoride treatments for kids?
Yes, fluoride treatments are part of our preventive care for children. The varnish or gel is applied to clean teeth at the end of a checkup and takes only a minute or two. It helps strengthen enamel against the acids that cause cavities. Paired with sealants and good brushing at home, it gives growing teeth strong protection.
Can I text the office to schedule an appointment?
Yes, our office offers text communication, which can be easier than calling in the middle of a workday. You can use it to ask about openings or confirm a visit. Appointments run Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, so a weekend checkup for the kids is easy to arrange.
