Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Do you make it a habit to visit your dentist at least twice a year? These routine appointments typically include both a comprehensive examination and a thorough cleaning. During the examination, your dentist will visually inspect your teeth and gums for any signs of plaque, tartar, cavities, or other potential oral health concerns. X-rays are commonly taken to provide a more comprehensive assessment. Following the examination, your teeth and gums will be meticulously cleaned to remove any tartar buildup that cannot be effectively eliminated through regular brushing alone.
Fluoride Treatments
You are likely aware that fluoride is commonly added to public drinking water to enhance the strength and well-being of teeth. This natural mineral effectively combats detrimental oral bacteria that can lead to cavities while enhancing the enamel's resistance to decay. Given that certain patients face a higher cavity risk, we offer concentrated fluoride treatment to directly apply the mineral to your teeth.

Nightguards for Bruxism
The potential dangers of nighttime teeth grinding extend beyond what you may anticipate. Prolonged grinding leads to increased wear on your teeth, making them susceptible to fractures and other dental damage. Fortunately, addressing bruxism is often straightforward. Feel free to request a personalized mouth guard from us, designed to be worn during sleep, preventing direct contact between your teeth and alleviating tension in your jaw.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Annually, more than 50,000 individuals receive an oral cancer diagnosis, making it a potential risk for anyone. Thankfully, routine dental examinations enable early detection through various warning signs, including red and/or white patches in the mouth, unexplained lumps, or bleeding. Our dental practice conducts visual inspections and utilizes advanced techniques to identify oral mucosal abnormalities, including oral cancer or premalignant dysplasia. Should we come across any concerning findings, we can assist you in arranging a proper diagnosis for further evaluation.
