Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
A checkup and cleaning give our team a chance to look at your teeth, gums, and pre-existing dental work so we can identify potential problems early and treat them before you end up with a toothache at 2 AM. Not only that, but we’ll also perform an oral cancer screening, as detecting the disease early is proven to be the best way to prevent it from advancing and becoming serious.
Gum Disease Treatment
Cavities are actually NOT the number one dental problem in the world—it’s gum disease! This infection attacks the soft tissues that support your teeth, which is why it’s also the leading cause of adult tooth loss. With scaling and root planing, we remove the source of the infection from your gum line as well as lower your risk of developing it again in the future. We can also send you home with an antibiotic so you can benefit from professional-strength gum disease treatment between appointments.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is added to almost every oral healthcare product out there, and that’s because it enables your enamel to build bonds much stronger than it could naturally. This strengthens it and makes it more resistant to decay. As part of your dental checkups, we can apply a highly concentrated fluoride paste to your teeth that will significantly lower your risk of decay between visits.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Millions of Americans unconsciously grind their teeth while they sleep. Are you one of them? Do you have cracked or worn-down teeth, or do you routinely wake up with a sore jaw or headache? If so, we can give you a custom nightguard to wear to bed. This keeps your rows of teeth separated, preserving your enamel and preventing the facial muscles from straining and becoming sore.
TMJ Treatment
If you move your jaw from side to side, you’ll feel your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in front of your ears. Due to a misaligned bite, injury, or chronic stress, it can become sore and painful—this is actually one of the most underdiagnosed causes of headaches and migraines! Our team can identify this issue, rebalance the bite, and deliver long-term relief by having you wear a small mouthpiece to bed each evening. This will help you wake up feeling pain-free and stay that way for the rest of the day.
