Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Here at our office, we advise that you get dental checkups and teeth cleanings every six months. These sessions let us check your mouth for issues (including oral cancer) before serious damage takes root. At the same time, they give our hygienists a chance to remove built-up plaque and tartar from your teeth. We’ll even draft a custom treatment plan if a visit finds problem areas that need further help, ensuring your smile stays protected.
Children’s Dentistry
As a family dental practice, we don’t just see adults and seniors; we also welcome kids at our office. Our dentists gladly care for child patients with tailored treatments, oral hygiene tips, etc. In particular, we use preventive solutions to reduce your little one’s risk of cavities and tooth decay. Our dentists also closely monitor your child’s bite, making sure it remains well-aligned as it grows and changes.
Gum Disease Treatment
You ought to consider gum disease treatment if the tissues around your teeth get infected. Through standard scaling and root planing, we’d remove the bacteria near your gumline and smooth out your tooth roots. This process could reverse your infection or at least manage it over time. It’d also help your gums heal and reattach, keeping your smile looking good and safe from tooth loss.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment is an add-on to dental checkups that can benefit kids and adults alike. By applying fluoridated gel, it neutralizes harmful acids and strengthens a smile’s enamel. That means it protects patients against tooth decay, greatly reducing the risk of cavities. Another perk is how the treatment goes quickly, with the gel application process only taking a few minutes. You’d get protection for your teeth between checkups and hardly spend any time.
Dental Sealants
While all teeth can experience decay, those in the back of your mouth – the molars and pre-molars – are at more risk. It’s hard to brush them effectively (especially for kids) due to their many pits and grooves. That being said, our office can address the risk with special coatings called dental sealants. Once applied to your back teeth, they’d keep bacteria and harmful food particles from causing severe cavities.
