Comprehensive Dental Services Offered
Routine Check-ups and Cleanings
Regular visits help identify potential dental issues early. Your check-up includes a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and mouth, along with a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar.
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays provide accurate diagnostics with minimal radiation. They help detect issues like cavities, bone loss, and other hidden problems that might not be visible during a regular check-up.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection of oral cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes. As part of your routine exam, we perform screenings to catch any signs of oral cancer at the earliest stage.
Preventive Treatments Explained
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities. Fluoride treatments are especially beneficial for those at higher risk of tooth decay, including children and those with sensitive teeth.
Dental Sealants
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. They help prevent cavities by keeping out food particles and bacteria.
Periodontal Care
Healthy gums are essential for overall oral health. Preventive care for gum health includes scaling and root planing, along with regular check-ups to avoid gum disease.
At-Home Care for Optimal Oral Health
Daily Hygiene Practices
Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss at least once a day. This removes plaque and prevents tooth decay and gum disease.
Dietary Considerations
Eating a balanced diet and avoiding sugary foods helps maintain strong teeth and gums. Drink plenty of water, and be mindful of acidic foods that can erode enamel.
