Dental Exams and Checkups
To maintain good health of your teeth and gums, regular dental exams and checkups are extremely important. At least two checkups per year are often recommended to make sure any problems can be fixed early, and to keep your oral health up to speed. Sometimes, the best care is preventive care, and a quick exam from our dentist here at Gentle Dental can help you maintain a bright, healthy smile.
Routine Cleanings
Professional teeth cleanings can be essential to thoroughly cleaning your teeth and reducing your risk of developing gum disease. Gentle teeth cleanings on a regular basis can give your teeth a refreshed appearance and help prevent dental problems down the road.
Fluoride Treatment
Plaque and harmful acids that can cause damage to your teeth can be reduced with fluoride treatments. These quick procedures help prevent tooth decay, in addition to strengthening your teeth against a number of elements that can cause them harm. Gentle Dental typically makes fluoride treatment a regular part of children’s dental care procedures to encourage development of healthy permanent teeth.
Oral Cancer Screening
Early diagnosis of oral cancer is absolutely vital to increase the chances of survival. In fact, patients have an 80 to 90 percent chance of living if oral cancer is found as early as possible. Gentle Dental uses the state-of-the-art Visilite™ system to provide our patients with oral cancer screenings. This FDA-approved technique allows our dentists to identify possible abnormalities in patients who may have an increased risk for oral cancer.
Fillings
Dental fillings can restore teeth affected by cavities, decay, and structural damage, helping to strengthen the teeth and lessen the chance of more serious problems that can be incurred without treatment. Gentle Dental uses tooth-colored composite fillings, also known as white fillings. This mercury-free treatment is not only safer than the traditional “metal” fillings of the past, it is also made to look like natural teeth – no one will know you’ve had tooth-colored fillings unless you tell them!
Sealants
Dental sealants are preventive treatments that are often used in pediatric dentistry procedures. Sealants help protect the teeth from developing cavities by sealing small crevices in the teeth with a composite resin. This white material can help prevent decay and work to maintain dental health. Our dentist can evaluate your child’s eating and brushing habits to help you determine whether dental sealants may be necessary.
