DENTAL CLEANING AND EXAMS
Regular dental checkups are an important part of maintaining your oral health. Preventative appointments include digital x-rays if needed, a professional teeth cleaning, rinse, and polish. A professional teeth cleaning is more than making teeth feel smooth and polished. It includes removal of plaque and tarter which can help prevent decay from forming. A regular checkup and cleaning also includes evaluating your teeth and gums for gingivitis and signs of periodontal disease.
ORAL CANCER SCREENING
A regular check-up exam also includes a thorough screening of soft tissues including gums, lips, cheek, neck and jaw. This is vital for early detection and treatment of oral cancer.
PERIODONTAL THERAPY
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums surrounding your teeth. Gum disease is the primary reason for tooth loss in adults. The link between oral bacteria and serious medical conditions have been proven which is why it is critically important to not let periodontitis go untreated. Home care and a customized treatment plan are essential for controlling and preventing bone loss and gum disease and our team can help you with this strategic approach.
