Regular dental cleanings and exams help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems.

Fluoride treatments are highly beneficial in strengthening tooth enamel and preventing tooth decay. Fluoride helps the tooth’s outer surface (the enamel) to stay strong and to fight against the acids that cause cavities and tooth decay.

Laser bacterial reduction (also referred to as LBR) is a common procedure that is recommended during routine cleanings, as it prevents bacteria from infiltrating sensitive gum tissue and infecting the area around the teeth. You may need laser bacterial reduction if you have gingivitis or gum disease. Laser bacterial reduction uses a non-cutting laser that is painless yet effective which is aimed directly into the gingival pockets that form around the teeth eradicating bacteria in this area, preventing the spread and progression of gum disease.

A night guard is a plastic appliance worn at night either on the top or bottom arch that allows you to sleep comfortably, while protecting your teeth from erosive habits. Clenching or grinding your teeth at night, can damage the enamel of your teeth. The Night Guard is designed to protect the teeth from the pressure of clenching and grinding, by providing a protective cushion between the upper and lower teeth. Therefore, a night guard is a simple, non-invasive, affordable treatment option for protecting your teeth and jaws from the damaging effects of clenching and grinding (known as Bruxism) and chronic jaw pain. The appliance can help relax your jaw and allow you to rest easy. A nightguard is also the most common treatment option for the symptoms of TMD.

Oral cancer is a type of cancer that affects the tissues in the mouth and throat. This can include the lips, tongue, gums, palate, and pharynx. Oral cancer screenings can detect early signs of the disease, which gives you a better chance of successful treatment. While oral cancer is relatively rare, it is important to get screened for it on a regular basis. Nowadays, many dentists simply perform oral cancer screenings as a part of semi-annual dental exams.

Dental x-rays are utilized to evaluate your oral health by capturing images of the interior of your teeth and gums. These X-rays can assist in identifying issues beneath the surface such as cavities, tooth decay, and impacted teeth.

Dental sealants are a type of preventive treatment that helps protect the teeth from cavities and decay. Sealants are made of a plastic resin that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars. The sealant forms a protective barrier over the enamel, which helps keep food and plaque from getting trapped in the crevices of the teeth. Dental sealants are a non-invasive and effective way to prevent cavities in the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth.
