Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
No matter a patient’s age, we recommend six-month dental checkups and cleanings. These appointments allow us to examine your smile using the latest in dental technology, checking for signs of dental decay, gum disease, cavities, and even oral cancer. Once this portion of the visit is complete, one of our dental hygienists will begin to clear away plaque and tartar from your teeth and around the gumline before going over any proposed treatment plan to help improve the state of your smile.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a natural mineral that many dentists find to be highly effective in reducing the risk of dental decay. For individuals who are prone to cavities, this topical application creates a barrier, preventing food particles and bacteria from breaking down tooth enamel. Between the appointments, fluoride also works to strengthen the existing outer layer of teeth, making it harder for anything to penetrate. Both children and adults can benefit from this treatment, and it can be administered during a regular dental checkup.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Worn-down tooth enamel and increasing jaw pain can often be attributed to bruxism. Also known as teeth grinding and clenching, this unhealthy habit may not be something you notice right away. However, with the help of our dental team, we can address the problem with a customized nightguard. When worn correctly, the appliance prevents the upper and lower rows of teeth from touching so that your smile no longer sustains nightly damage.
