The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a routine check-up roughly twice a year. A routine appointment with our doctors will typically include a professional cleaning and a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and other oral tissues. We also complete an oral cancer screening for all our patients.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is vital if you want your teeth to stay strong, functional, and attractive. Apart from regular brushing and flossing, it is also necessary to keep your dental appointments with us regularly. You should visit us at least twice a year for a professional cleaning to ensure you have excellent dental hygiene and your teeth and surrounding structures are healthy.
Oral cancer screenings done consistently offer you the opportunity to discover problems early when they can be treated more easily and successfully. They are painless and are part of our dedication to helping our patients achieve the level of health and dental care they deserve.
Your gum tissues are just as important as your teeth. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States. Periodontal disease is the result of an infection in the gum tissues, which can lead to loss of the bone that keeps teeth in the mouth.
The disease is characterized by gums that are swollen, red, and tend to bleed during brushing and flossing. Luckily, periodontal disease is easy to prevent and treat if it is caught early enough. If we notice signs of advanced gum disease, we may recommend a special cleaning procedure (scaling and root planing) which is painless and offers great results. The goal is to return your gums to a pink, healthy state.
Contact sports or sports with moving objects can be a very dangerous environment for your teeth. One extreme tackle or a ball hit into the mouth can do serious, sometimes permanent, damage to the jaw and mouth. If you participate in physical activities that put you at risk for dental trauma or injury, we strongly recommend a custom-made sports mouthguard.
Night-time teeth grinding (bruxism) is a condition where a person grinds their teeth during sleep. Unfortunately, this condition can go undetected until the damage is irreversible, leading to expensive dental bills or emergency treatment. A night guard acts as a protective barrier that prevents tooth wear and the dangerous effects it can have over time.
