Prickly Pear Dental Care is seeking local sponsors and community partners to help support Prickly Pear Community Care, a free dental-care event for the Borderland community on Saturday, August 8.

A cleaning may seem simple, but in reality, the right care depends upon what’s happening with your oral health behind the scenes. In this post, we explain why every cleaning at Prickly Pear Dental Care begins with an exam.

On April 2, 2026, Prickly Pear Dental Care will be hosting a Community Grand Opening—and you’re invited! You can learn more about the event by checking out this post.

Sustainability has been part of our thinking since the very beginning. Here, we share some of the practical choices that we’ve made thus far—and why we see this as an ongoing process rather than a finished statement.

Dental anxiety is common, understandable, and something that we take very seriously. As a result, our approach to care prioritizes clear communication, patient comfort, and a calm, supportive experience at every visit.

Choosing a location for our dental practice was about more than just convenience or cost—it was about finding a place that reflected our values. Montecillo’s walkability, thoughtful planning, and long-term outlook aligned closely with how we want to practice dentistry and how we hope to show up for the El Paso community.

Most dental issues begin quietly. Here are four early signs that you may be due for a professional cleaning—even if everything seems “normal” at first glance.

As we get closer to opening our doors, we’ve been reflecting on the journey that led us here—our love for El Paso, the values that shaped our decisions, and the vision behind building Prickly Pear Dental Care from the ground up.
