Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Getting at least two checkups and cleanings each year is a must when it comes to taking care of your teeth. Even if you brush and floss every day, you might have missed some plaque and tartar. Our team can thoroughly remove these harmful substances and suggest ways you can improve your oral hygiene routine. These visits will also include an oral cancer screening. Identifying worrisome lumps and patches early could significantly increase your chances of successful treatment.
Fluoride Treatments
During your regular cleanings, we can topically apply fluoride to your teeth. This important mineral can strengthen enamel so that it’s less vulnerable to the decay caused by the bacteria in your mouth. You can usually get fluoride from the water you drink (although many brands of bottled water don’t contain it), but a professional treatment can give you much more added protection. Fluoride treatments are often recommended for children, but in fact, patients of any age can benefit.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Has your partner complained about the sound of grinding teeth at night? You may have a condition called bruxism that could quickly wear down your enamel or even cause it to fracture. Wearing a nightguard will help keep your teeth safe while you’re asleep. You may be able to find a nightguard at the grocery store, but the ones our dentists provide can be customized just for you. We’ll make sure your device fits perfectly so that you can rest comfortably.
At-Home Dental Hygiene Products
Are you using a fluoridated toothpaste that will help you prevent tooth decay and gum disease? Do you rinse with a mouthwash that can kill any bacteria you may have missed while brushing? It’s important to use the right products when it comes to your oral health, and our dentists are here to offer their recommendations. Our dental office uses Crest toothpaste to clean the teeth as well as Fluorimax or Chlorohexidine mouthwash to keep harmful bacteria levels under control. There are many products as well that provide specific benefits for each person.
Adult Athletic Mouthguards
Playing a sport or engaging in some other kind of physical activity is a great way to keep in shape, but unfortunately, sports-related dental injuries are all too common. A mouthguard can save your teeth and jaws from the worst of an impact, but if you want to give your smile the best kind of protection, it’s best not to rely on an “off-the-shelf” product.
