Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Even people who brush and floss diligently should come see us at least twice a year, and that’s because your tools at home simply can’t clean every single surface in your mouth. As a result, plaque can accumulate and lead to decay. A cleaning from a hygienist can easily take care of your trouble spots, and then your dentist will give you a thorough exam to make sure your teeth, gums, and bite are in great shape. If they see something, they can treat it right away.
Fluoride Treatments
Regular fluoride exposure is proven to lower a person’s risk for cavities, which is why you’ll find it added to most oral healthcare products and even your tap water! For our more cavity-prone patients, an additional fluoride treatment at their cleanings is a necessary step to keeping their smile healthy and whole. We simply apply a gel to the teeth for a minute or so, and that’s it—the enamel is quickly and completely fortified against harmful bacteria.
Oral Cancer Screenings
We give every patient a quick oral cancer screening at their checkups because the best way to handle the disease is to find it early and treat it immediately. Rates of oral cancer are actually on the rise in the U.S., particularly among young, healthy people who don’t smoke or drink excessively. If we find a suspicious sore or growth, we can help a patient get a biopsy and proper diagnosis.
