Convenient Access from Corinth
City Hall and our front door are 7 minutes apart, which makes Denton Family Smiles, Sleep & TMJ an easy choice for parents who want a dentist in Corinth, TX without a long drive. The practice is a short hop up I-35E in south Denton, led by general dentist Dr. Omar Alswaiti. Kids, parents and grandparents can all be seen here, from a child's first cleaning to a parent's crown.
From City Hall on Corinth Parkway, head northwest to the I-35E northbound frontage road and ride it for about eight-tenths of a mile before merging onto the freeway. Stay on I-35E north for roughly a mile and a half, then exit and follow the northbound frontage road for one more mile. Turn left onto Loop 288, which passes under the interstate and becomes Lillian Miller Parkway, and then turn left into our lot. The trip covers 4.1 miles with no U-turn on the way in, though rush hour on the interstate can slow it down.
The office is at 2430 S I-35E Ste 200, Denton, TX 76205, tucked into the southwest corner of the I-35E and Loop 288 interchange.

A Family Dental Home for Corinth Households
Corinth grew up along the I-35E corridor between Dallas and Denton. The Dallas and Wichita Railway named the townsite when it laid tracks through it in 1880, but most of its growth came from the 1970s on, when development spread along the interstate. The 2020 census counted 22,634 residents, and roughly three in four occupied homes are owner-occupied.
It is very much a family town. Close to four in ten households here include children under 18, and about a quarter of residents are kids. Students are split between Lake Dallas ISD, which serves central and eastern Corinth, and Denton ISD in the west and north, so school calendars and pickup lines vary from street to street.
That makes timing the hardest part of family dental care. Weekday appointments run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Thursday, and Saturday hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM let parents bring kids in without pulling anyone out of class. Keeping everyone's care in one office also makes the family calendar simpler.
Multigenerational households fit here as well. A grandparent who needs a crown, new dentures or an implant consultation can be seen by the same dentist who checks the grandkids, which keeps the family's care in one place and one set of hands.
Corinth is one of the four Lake Cities, alongside Lake Dallas, Hickory Creek and Shady Shores, and it sits in Denton County on the north side of Lewisville Lake. Its parks include Community Park on the parkway, with one site for baseball and softball and another for soccer and football, plus a nature preserve and the Commons at Agora. North Central Texas College opened a campus here in January 2000, and the City of Corinth website lists parks and city services.
Growing Smiles: Advice for Corinth Parents
Cavities in the back teeth are common in children. Molars have deep grooves where food and plaque collect, and young brushers tend to miss them. Sealants are a thin protective coating painted onto those chewing surfaces, and placing them needs no drilling or numbing.
A professional Fluoride Treatment after a cleaning gives enamel extra strength between visits. Pair that with brushing twice a day, flossing once teeth touch, and water instead of juice between meals, and most kids stay ahead of decay. Children who play baseball, softball or soccer at Community Park should also wear a mouthguard at practices, not just games.
Bite problems are easier to plan for when they are spotted early. Crowding, a crossbite or front teeth that do not meet can show up while baby teeth are still falling out. Dr. Alswaiti watches how the jaws and teeth develop at each checkup and can talk with parents about early orthodontic intervention when it makes sense.
Parents need care, too. Adults juggling work and kids' activities often put their own checkups last, and a small cavity can turn into a crown or a root canal while they wait. Booking the family on the same Saturday is a simple fix.
School lunches and after-school snacks deserve a second look as well. Crackers, chips and dried fruit cling to the grooves of molars much longer than fresh fruit or cheese do, and sipping milk or juice from a bottle or cup all afternoon keeps teeth bathed in sugar. Small swaps, like water in the lunchbox and a cheese stick instead of fruit snacks, make a real difference by the next checkup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Denton Family Smiles from Corinth, and how do I get there?
Denton Family Smiles is 4.1 miles from Corinth City Hall, about a 7-minute drive. Take the parkway to I-35E north, exit to the northbound frontage road, and turn left on Loop 288, which becomes Lillian Miller Parkway. Parents who want a dentist in Corinth, TX without a long trip then turn left into the lot, with no U-turn needed.
Is thumb sucking harmful to my child's teeth?
Usually not in young children, and most stop on their own. If the habit continues once permanent front teeth start coming in, it can push teeth forward and affect how the upper and lower teeth meet. Dr. Alswaiti checks for those changes at each visit and can suggest gentle ways to help a child break the habit.
Can my child get a filling that matches the color of their teeth?
Yes. Composite fillings are tooth-colored, so they blend in with natural enamel instead of showing up as a dark spot. They bond directly to the tooth, which often means less healthy tooth structure has to be removed. They work well for small and medium cavities in both baby teeth and permanent teeth.
Can my teenager play sports while wearing braces?
Yes, with a mouthguard. A blow to the mouth can push lips and cheeks into the brackets, so a guard that fits over braces protects both the teeth and the soft tissue. Teens with clear aligners should take them out and wear a regular mouthguard during contact sports. Dr. Alswaiti can recommend the right type at a checkup.
Do adults benefit from fluoride treatment too?
Often, yes. Adults with gum recession, dry mouth, many fillings or frequent cavities can benefit from professional fluoride because it strengthens exposed and weakened enamel. It is applied after a cleaning. Dr. Alswaiti will suggest it when your risk of decay is higher than average, not as a routine add-on.
