T. Scott Barton, DDS's Expert Contributions
  • For small kids how frequent should dentist visits be?

    It is recommended that you get twice yearly check ups. Most dental diseases (cavities) can be prevented and if detected early, most of the time be treated without anesthesia. READ MORE

  • Will frequent teeth cleanings remove spots from my teeth?

    Depends on what the "spots" are caused by. They can be calcifications, decalcification, stains etc...These can be very superficial that can be polished away or deeper into the enamel which could possibly be bleached or removed and filled. At your next check up let your dentist know your concerns and have them evaluate appropriate measures to remedy. READ MORE

  • Why am I so exhausted after removal of infected root canal molar?

    Hard to say that two weeks after an extraction is related with your current fatigue. I would contact the dentist that removed your tooth and have the extraction site inspected. If everything appears normal then there could be some other underlying health concerns that a physician and some routine blood-work could detect. READ MORE

  • Very swollen and red gums after routine dental cleaning

    Soreness two days after a routine cleaning is unusual, unless it was a periodontal procedure or "deep cleaning". 400 to 800mg of Ibuprofen is good if you're able to take that along with warm salt water rinses. You can also apply to the areas Anbesol or OraJel with a cotton swab. I would also recommend checking in with the office about your circumstances. READ MORE

Get to know Dentist Dr. T. Scott Barton, who serves patients in Texas.

Dr. Barton is the lead dentist at Whispering Oaks Family Dental in San Antonio, Texas. He is dedicated to addressing his community’s needs by providing compassionate and attentive care to each patient. 

“Here at Whispering Oaks Family Dental, we utilize the most advanced, up-to-date technology in order to diagnose and treat dental problems with the highest level of accuracy and effectiveness. You no longer have to deal with time-consuming, uncomfortable traditional dental x-rays. Instead, we use non-invasive, painless equipment to instantly produce high-resolution dental images that allow our dentist to identify problems such as tooth decay, worn enamel, gum disease, or micro-fractures that would normally remain undetectable and untreated” as stated on the dental practice’s website. 

Delivering dental care of the highest quality, Dr. Barton treats every individual as a unique person with their specific needs, goals, and desires for achieving and preserving a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile. He does so while also establishing and nurturing enduring relationships with his clientele.

Upon embarking on his academic career, Dr. Barton graduated with his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in 1989. He furthered his expertise through advanced training in Straight Wire Orthodontics and dental implantology, and he holds certification in Invisalign.

Notably, Dr. Barton has achieved the esteemed status of Fellow with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and holds membership in both the Texas Dental Association and the American Orthodontic Society.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Barton enjoys playing golf and tennis, listening to music, and playing guitar.
