Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
At every routine dental checkup, we’ll look for early signs of tooth decay and gum disease that often go unnoticed at home. These problems are normally easy to treat while they’re still small. These visits are your best chance to have tartar removed from your teeth; normally, this substance is hardened in place and can’t be simply brushed away on your own.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer tends to be more common amongst those who smoke or drink excessively; however, there’s still a chance for patients who don’t engage in typically risky behaviors to develop it. That’s why we will perform a cancer screening during your normal checkups; this quick examination drastically improves the chances of us noticing suspicious changes.
Fluoride Treatment
This involves applying fluoride directly to the teeth as a foam, gel, or varnish. These treatments are especially important if you’re not exposed to enough fluoride through your normal oral hygiene routine or drinking water, as the mineral is essential for providing your teeth with boosted resistance to decay.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Grinding or clenching your teeth at night often leads to painful headaches, jaw pain, and other symptoms including worn-down tooth enamel. A nightguard will prevent further damage from bruxism by stopping the teeth from making direct contact with each other and stabilizing your jaw muscles.
