Your dentist will perform a comprehensive exam every visit to assess your oral health. They will check your gums, teeth and other oral structures to ensure proper function. Your dentist will check all your restorations, like crowns and fillings, to ensure everything is in good repair. Finally, they will perform an oral cancer screening.
Dental cleanings leave the mouth feeling fresh and the teeth smooth and polished. Cleanings remove dental plaque and tartar that build up between visits since these substances can cause tooth decay and gum disease.
Sealants are a safe resin substance applied to deep grooves in the permanent molars. This product keeps food and plaque from collecting in inaccessible tooth crevices and causing decay.
Fluoride is a natural mineral. It hardens tooth enamel and helps to protect against tooth decay. Fluoride treatment is not reserved for children; adults can also benefit from this procedure.
Active patients should consider getting a custom mouth guard from their family dentist. A custom mouth guard protects the teeth from sports accidents and reduces the chance of experiencing dental trauma.
Night guards help patients with bruxism (teeth grinding) save their teeth. Patients who clench or grind their teeth may be more prone to chips, cracks, and damaged restorations. Bruxism may also be associated with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) syndrome, a painful jaw condition.
