Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings

Even if you’re extremely diligent about brushing and flossing, you can still benefit from regular dental checkups. We’ll carefully inspect your teeth, gums, and other aspects of your oral health to take note of any signs of damage or decay. Treatment is generally much easier when problems are caught and rectified in their earliest stages. We also include an in-depth cleaning as part of your routine visits to remove the plaque and tartar that can accumulate on the teeth and gums.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is well-known for its ability to create stronger teeth that are less prone to developing cavities. Professional fluoride treatments are highly recommended for children with still-growing smiles as well as adults who are more likely than others to suffer from tooth decay. Concentrated fluoride is applied directly to the teeth so that the enamel can absorb it.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Regular checkups are essential for detecting several health problems, including oral cancer. It’s expected that over 50,000 cases will be diagnosed in the coming year, and the chances of survival improve dramatically if the symptoms are caught in the early stages. If we find a lump or patch that points to the possible presence of cancerous cells, we can help you figure out what steps need to be taken next to protect your overall health.

Toothpaste & Mouthwashes

There are many different oral hygiene products out there; which ones are right for you? Our dental office uses Colgate toothpaste as well as ACT mouthwash and CariFree products to protect smiles from decay-causing bacteria. What about the products in your bathroom cabinet? Are they keeping your smile safe, or is it time for a change? Talk to us about the toothpaste and mouthwash you use at home; we can make suggestions if there’s room for improvement.
