Preventive care is an important part of maintaining your oral and overall health. Preventive dentistry, such as biannual dental visits and proper at-home oral hygiene routines, can keep your smile in tip-top shape and prevent serious dental issues from forming in the future.
According to the Academy of General Dentistry, adults and kids should visit the dentist twice a year for cleanings and exams. These checkups allow us to check for any dental issues and thoroughly clean away any plaque and tartar buildup that can occur when patients miss certain hard-to-reach areas in the mouth during their at-home oral hygiene regimen.
There are natural grooves and crevices in the chewing surfaces of teeth that can often become breeding grounds for trapped bacteria and food debris. While these grooves are completely normal, they can lead to cavities. We can brush on long-lasting, clear, plastic coatings over these areas to seal them off. Dental sealants are an important preventive measure when it comes to keeping teeth decay-free.
For patients dealing with more advanced stages of periodontitis, we offer state-of-the-art laser gum therapy. Traditional gum treatments required invasive, painful surgeries. Now, thanks to advances in dentistry, we can provide quick and comfortable laser gum therapy. We use a soft tissue laser to treat the diseased portions of the gumline and promote regrowth. This form of treatment has a quick recovery time and can help reverse the effects of gum disease.
At your checkups, we’ll perform a visual examination of the throat, cheeks, neck, and face to check for any abnormalities that may indicate oral cancer. The earlier cancer is detected, the easier it is to treat. Oral cancer screenings can potentially save lives!
Sometimes our teeth need extra care and attention. Our judgment-free team uses biologically friendly materials to repair any damaged or diseased teeth as well as replace missing teeth. Our goal is to help you regain a smile that looks and feels great!
