Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Every six months, our team will perform a thorough dental examination to detect cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and potential bite issues. We’ll also clean teeth and gums, clearing away any plaque and tartar that can cause gingivitis, as well as provide explanations regarding any treatment plans that may be recommended.
Oral Cancer Screening
Early detection is essential when it comes to oral cancer, so we offer special screenings during regular dental checkups. These quick and painless examinations allow us to check the tissues inside your mouth as well as your neck and throat. If we discover any abnormalities, we’ll refer you to a local physician for additional testing.
Fluoride Treatment
Cavity-prone patients can benefit from additional fluoride treatments. Although found in toothpaste, city tap water, and various foods, this quick application, which is applied during a regular visit, helps to better protect teeth from tooth decay in between appointments, while also strengthening the enamel against potential damage.
Dental Sealants
Bacteria and food particles can burrow into the crevices of teeth, especially the pits and grooves of molars. With dental sealants, we can apply these clear coatings over chewing surfaces, allowing for optimal protection against debris that might otherwise cause cavities. Applied during a checkup, the dental sealant process is quick and painless.
Athletic Mouthguards / Sportsguards
Sports-related injuries account for a majority of dental emergencies, which is why it’s important that you inquire about a customized athletic mouthguard. Worn over the upper row of teeth, it protects gums and pearly whites from serious injury should excessive pressure be placed on the mouth during a game.
Nightguards for Bruxism
If you are waking up with headaches or jaw joint pain, it’s time to ask our team about a custom-made nightguard. Designed to combat bruxism, this oral appliance serves as a barrier to prevent teeth grinding throughout the night so that you can avoid worn tooth enamel and chronic jaw pain over time.
