What Happpens at a regular checkup
Remember that regular dental check-ups are crucial for maintaining good oral health and catching potential issues early when they are easier to treat. If you have specific concerns or dental problems, it’s essential to address them with your dentist during the check-up.
General & Family Services we offer
Children’s Dentistry
Children’s dentistry, also known as pediatric dentistry, is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the oral health and dental care of infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric dentists are trained to address the unique dental needs of young patients, including preventive care, early intervention, and education to promote good oral hygiene habits from an early age.
Dental Cleanings & Exams
Dental cleaning and examination, commonly known as a dental check-up, is a routine preventive dental care procedure. It involves the removal of plaque and tartar from the teeth by a dental hygienist, followed by a comprehensive examination by a dentist. The purpose is to maintain oral health, prevent dental issues, and detect any potential problems early, promoting overall well-being.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to help prevent tooth decay. They create a barrier that seals out bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities in the grooves and pits of the teeth.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment is a dental procedure in which a concentrated fluoride solution is applied to the teeth to strengthen enamel, prevent tooth decay, and reduce the risk of cavities. This treatment can be administered by a dentist or as part of routine dental care, such as through fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This may be done for various reasons, such as severe decay, advanced gum disease, or to create space for orthodontic treatment. The procedure is typically performed by a dentist or oral surgeon using specialized instruments.
