Dental Checkups & Cleanings
We advise our patients to get dental checkups and cleanings every six months. These visits let us assess your smile and protect your oral health. We first use advanced dental instruments, like intraoral cameras, to examine your mouth for signs of any dental issues. We’ll then develop a custom treatment plan if we make any diagnoses. To wrap things up, the appointment ends with a thorough cleaning and polishing of your teeth.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally derived mineral that’s best known for its ability to fight off decay by strengthening dental enamel, which is the outermost protective layer of your teeth. After your routine cleaning, we can apply fluoridated foam to your teeth. Once a few minutes have passed, we’ll have you rinse your mouth and avoid eating for about an hour. This add-on service will provide you with protection for the following six or so months until your next appointment with us!
Nightguards for Bruxism
Do you or a loved one have a teeth-grinding habit? If so, you should be wary – this issue (also known as bruxism) can erode tooth enamel, make your jaw ache, and worse. It’s best to solve the problem with one of our practice’s custom nightguards. By wearing it as you sleep, you’ll avoid further damage to your teeth. Our team customizes their fit for optimal protection as well as comfort.
