Please contact our practice for more information on general dentistry options such as dental checkups, fillings, and oral cancer screenings in the Jupiter Florida area.
Exams/Checkups
A regular exam or dental checkup is extremely important to ensure you are maintaining good oral health. Gentle Dental typically recommends you have at least two checkups each year in order to keep your teeth and gums healthy and identify any problems that could take a serious turn. With regular dental exams, you can go a long way in avoiding more significant dental procedures down the road.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatments are extremely helpful in the prevention of tooth decay and work to fortify teeth enamel against harmful acids and plaque. Treatments with fluoride are often included in our pediatric dental care procedures to help our younger patients develop healthier permanent teeth.
Gentle Cleanings
A gentle teeth cleaning is a professional method of cleansing the teeth and checking on the condition of teeth and gums. Gentle cleanings on a regular basis can help keep your teeth healthy and reduce the risk of developing gum disease.
Fillings
One of the most common general dentistry treatments, fillings are performed in order to treat tooth decay, cavities, or damage to tooth structure. Dentists at Gentle Dental perform fillings using composite or resin material (also known as white fillings), which are designed to blend in with the color of surrounding teeth. Unlike the metal (amalgam) fillings used in the past, tooth-colored fillings are mercury-free and friendlier to the environment. Fillings can increase strength and durability of your tooth and even save it from irreversible damage in the future.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Every hour of every day, someone dies from oral cancer. However, early diagnosis can give patients an 80-90% chance of survival, making oral cancer screenings imperative to your overall health. At Gentle Dental, we use the FDA-approved Visilite™ system in our oral cancer screenings. With Visilite™, our dentists can identify abnormalities in patients who have an increased risk of developing oral cancer.
Oral cancer screenings are very effective methods of identifying and diagnosing problems in any patient early on, and early diagnosis and treatment are essential in giving patients the best possible chance at beating oral cancer.
Sealants
Often used in pediatric dentistry, sealants are very effective preventive treatments that can protect teeth from developing cavities before they start. Using a composite resin to seal small crevices in the teeth, our dentists can help patients prevent the development of decay. Our team here at Gentle Dental can evaluate your child’s brushing and eating habits and help you decide whether dental sealants may be an appropriate treatment.
