Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist once every six months for a checkup and cleaning to maintain healthy teeth and gums. During your appointment, our dentists and team will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, including capturing diagnostic images like X-rays, in search of any signs of oral health problems that may need to be treated. After discussing our findings, one of our skilled dental hygienists will thoroughly clean, polish, and floss your teeth, leaving your smile feeling refreshed until the next time you see us!
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a mineral that’s produced by rocks and found in a variety of other natural elements, like water and fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s also added to local water sources as well as oral hygiene products because it has enamel-strengthening properties that help protect your teeth from cavities. If you aren’t receiving enough of it, we can place a fluoridated gel onto the surface of your teeth to prevent decay.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are clear coatings that we can brush over the biting surface of molars to prevent food debris and plaque from accumulating on them, leading to cavities. The nooks and crannies on molars are often some of the first places decay develops, and with sealants, you’re able to brush more effectively, reducing your chances of needing tooth-colored fillings down the road.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is one of the most common oral health problems, estimated to impact one out of every two adults in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Our dentists goal is to spot the early signs of this condition, like bleeding gums and chronic bad breath, and treat it before it has a chance to cause permanent harm to your smile. With deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, our team can help stop bacterial accumulation and help your gums heal.
