Techniques such as oral health examinations and low radiation digital imaging play a crucial role in early detection of cavities and other abnormalities, ensuring a holistic approach to dental care. Additionally, preventive measures like dental cleanings, the application of dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and the fabrication of custom oral appliances are integral to safeguarding teeth and gums against decay, disease, and injury. With the use of the latest technology and materials, such as ultrasonic devices and safe resin for sealants, preventive dentistry offers comprehensive care focused on preserving dental health and preventing future complications. Our dentist and dedicated team treat each patient with effective, friendly service to help you achieve optimal oral health.
An oral examination is a visual inspection of the mouth, head, and neck, performed to detect abnormalities. Low radiation digital imaging allows for a more complete examination, helping the doctor to detect cavities, problems in existing dental restorations, or other abnormal conditions within the mouth, head and neck area.
A dental cleaning, also known as an oral prophylaxis, is the removal of dental plaque and tartar (calculus) from the teeth. Specialized instruments are used to gently remove these deposits without harming the teeth. First, an ultrasonic device that emits vibrations and is cooled by water is used to loosen larger pieces of tartar. Next, hand tools are used to manually remove smaller deposits and smooth the tooth surfaces. Once all the tooth surfaces have been cleaned of tartar and plaque, the teeth are polished.
Fluoride is a natural substance that helps strengthen teeth and prevent decay. Fluoride treatments are administered at this office as an important component of pediatric dental treatment. The fluoride is applied to the teeth in a gel, foam, or varnish form.
Our office can fabricate custom oral appliances that can protect your teeth and gums during sports or relieve stress on the temporomandibular joint caused by clenching or grinding of the teeth.
