Dental Checkups & Cleanings
During your checkup, our team will carefully examine your mouth for anything that looks concerning; this involves both a visual screening as well as a tactile exam to ensure thoroughness. We’ll be looking for signs of decay, gum disease, and also oral cancer; though serious, this disease is very treatable if caught early. Following the checkup, we’ll conduct a detailed cleaning of your teeth and gums, removing any built-up plaque and tartar that your toothbrush and floss at home aren’t able to clear out.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral that’s often found in tap water and other local water sources, plays an important role in dental hygiene. It has the unique ability of being able to assist with the remineralization of teeth. We can apply a special fluoride treatment solution to your teeth following a routine dental checkup and cleaning; it’s quick, harmless, and certain to help your teeth remain resilient against decay!
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is a menace; however, it can normally be prevented and kept under control with routine preventive care. But in some cases, things progress to the point where a more thorough form of treatment might be needed to reduce symptoms and discomfort. This process involves deep cleaning below your gumline to clear out all of the bad bacteria that are present. We’ll then smooth out the roots of the teeth so that the gum tissue can healthily reattach itself.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Bruxism is a relatively common condition that refers to when a patient grinds their teeth and/or clenches their jaw, most often during the night while they’re sleeping. This might not seem like a big deal, but the condition can lead to some pretty serious long-term consequences, including painful issues that affect your TMJ (temporomandibular joints). We can situate you with a custom-made nightguard that will provide you with a protective barrier between your teeth and gums, reducing the negative impact of the condition.
