Meet Dr. Brock Cameron

Dr. Brock has always had a passion for dentistry. He grew up working in his father’s dental practice in Edwardsville, Illinois. He would often go into the office on weekends to help provide emergency care and quickly grew an enthusiasm to help patients. Seeing patients arrive with severe dental anxieties and then helping them feel comfortable and receive necessary care was a driving factor in Dr. Brock’s decision to become a dentist. Dr. Brock also loves the art of esthetic dentistry.

Dr. Brock graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in Alton, Illinois, the same school his father attended. He strives to stay up to date with current dental techniques and practices through continued education classes and a very active Seattle Study Club with other professionals and specialists in the St. Louis region.

What our patients say

“Best Dentist I have ever been to! – Dr Edwards is a cheery guy who does fantastic dental work! – In tooth replacements, he color-matched the new teeth so well, no one can tell which ones were replaced and which ones are natural – He’s gentle and also doesn’t lay on the guilt when you’re not the best flosser. – He genuinely cares about improving your dental health while keeping in mind your busy life. (Also heard that he did dental work for Rams football players in the past!) The staff and hygienists are very friendly and seem to be happy in their work. The hygienists also are very knowledgeable and willing to educate- so ask all your dental questions and concerns! The whole team seems to really care, and they’re willing to help you figure out what is best for you and your budget!”

FAQs

Regular exams help spot trouble early to prevent bigger and more costly treatments later. A dental hygienist will start by cleaning buildup from your teeth. Then the dentist will probe spots on the surfaces and near the gumline with special tools. If it's been a while between appointments, you may have some sore and sensitive areas. You should get an exam every 6 months, or more often if your dentist recommends it. Find one who makes you feel at ease and lets you know what to expect. Often the dread of seeing the dentist turns to big relief when the visit is over and you have a care plan set up. Being positive as a parent can help your kids overcome any of their fears.

Medical and dental experts study the use of X-rays and set limits for their safety. Your dentist should take as few as possible. Sometimes dentists may recommend X-rays to diagnose a special problem. Advancements in technology means today's digital X-rays release much less radiation and are safer than in the past.

Expect to get them during a first exam after not seeing a dentist for a while. This helps check tooth and gum health. If you have gum disease, the dentist may want pictures every 6 months. For regular check-ups, it's about every 2 years, depending on your dentist's plan.

Kids have more X-rays done than adults because their teeth are changing and because they get cavities more easily.
Fluoride helps make teeth strong and prevents decay. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Dental Association (ADA), and the CDC all agree that kids should use fluoride toothpaste for brushing, taking care not to swallow it.

Adults benefit from using fluoride to protect their teeth, too.
Cavities break through the surface enamel of teeth, and they'll probably get bigger unless you close them off with fillings.

Your dentist will numb your mouth before drilling around the cavity to prep it. A combination of strong materials or a white mix called a composite goes into the cavity soft and then hardens as it dries. You may feel pain or pressure when getting the numbing shot and during the drilling.

Once set, fillings can last a long time but need replacing if they break or wear down.
