Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
A routine dental checkup involves taking a close look at your teeth and gums to see if there are any signs of cavities, gum disease, and other issues that might call for professional intervention; X-rays may also be taken. We’ll let you know if there’s anything you need to be concerned about and advise you on the steps you can take. Additionally, our team can gently clean your teeth and let you know if there are any spots that you need to focus more on while brushing.
Nightguards for Bruxism
When you are asleep, you may unconsciously grind and clench your teeth. This condition is known as bruxism, and when ignored it can lead to headaches, worn-down enamel, and other consequences. We recommend that you take the initiative to protect your grin by getting one of our custom-made nightguards. By keeping the upper and lower rows of teeth separated, a nightguard can help you avoid much of the dental damage and discomfort associated with bruxism.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that can reduce your risk for cavities by strengthening the enamel protecting your teeth. You can find fluoride in ADA-approved toothpaste as well as certain foods. But if we think that your smile could benefit from more fluoride exposure, we may suggest a fluoride treatment. All we need to do is quickly and painlessly apply a concentrated form of fluoride to your teeth during your next appointment.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer becomes more difficult to treat once it reaches its more advanced stages. As such, catching the disease as early as possible is of the utmost importance. Luckily, we can quickly screen for oral cancer during a routine dental checkup and cleaning. We will carefully examine your mouth for odd lumps, discolored patches, and other symptoms. If there’s anything that could point to the presence of cancer, our team will let you know what you need to do next.
Toothpastes & Mouthwashes
When you go to the store for toothpaste and mouthwash, do you find yourself overwhelmed by your choices? It’s important to pick the oral hygiene products that are right for your smile, and our team is happy to help you make a decision. We typically recommend CariFree and PerioSciences brand products. CariFree can help you protect your smile from cavities while PerioSciences products contain antioxidants that promote overall oral health. At your next appointment, feel free to ask our team for suggestions for improving your oral hygiene.
