Who has experience in dental cleaning and gum treatment?
Regular professional cleanings are one of the main reasons that patients visit our practice. Only a professional can remove the hard-to-reach plaque and built-up calculus that develop on teeth over time. Plaque is a film of bacteria that sticks to the teeth after drinking and eating. It can usually be brushed and flossed away each day. If it’s not removed on a daily basis, it will build up into a hard material called calculus, which attacks the tooth’s enamel and can cause dental decay. Only a professional can get rid of built-up calculus during a thorough dental cleaning.
This bacteria can also affect your gums. It can lead to gingivitis, which is the first stage of gum disease. If you notice that your gums are swollen, red, sensitive, or bleeding when you brush and floss, then you probably have the condition and it needs to be treated immediately. Without proper treatment, gingivitis can advance into a more serious form known as periodontal disease. At this point, you can no longer ignore the problem and you must see a dentist for periodontal treatment.
Where can you find the right bad breath remedies?
Bad breath can strike at any time and cause extreme embarrassment. The condition is medically known as halitosis and more than 25% of Americans struggle with the problem. It tends to result from something you ate, a lack of oral hygiene, or tooth decay. But you no longer have to live with the problem because we can help you get rid of bad breath. We offer the professional cleanings, specialized treatments, and at-home oral hygiene recommendations to help you quickly and easily control the problem.
Why do need an oral cancer screening?
Oral cancer is a life-threatening condition you can’t ignore. It doesn’t show any symptoms during its initial stages, so once you detect a lump, it has most likely spread to other parts of the body. But with early detection, the condition can be treated before it becomes much worse. We care about your health, so our dentist will test for oral cancer during your first dental exam. An oral cancer test is strongly encouraged for everyone age 18 and older.
Where can you find treatment for teeth grinding?
Nearly 40 million people in the U.S. suffer from uncontrollable teeth grinding. It’s a condition called bruxism that can substantially erode your tooth enamel over time. And most people are completely unaware that they grind their teeth because it typically happens while they sleep. But be assured that during your dental exam, our dentist will examine your mouth for any indications of the problem and will want to know if you have experienced any of these symptoms:
- Waking up with a headache
- Jaw soreness in the morning
- Sensitive teeth
- Chipped teeth
- A cracked tooth
The primary causes for bruxism are stress, dental decay, and poor bite alignment. No matter the cause, we can prevent further dental damage by providing you with a mouth guard for teeth grinding at night.
