Dental Hygiene Appointments
Good dental hygiene is vital to maintain a healthy set of teeth and gums. While regular brushing and flossing help to keep your teeth clean, it is essential to visit a dental hygienist annually for a more thorough cleaning.
Root Canals
When the hard surface of the tooth becomes damaged due to chips, cracks, or tooth decay, bacteria can penetrate the soft pulp inside the teeth. This can cause an infection that affects the health of the entire tooth. In order to combat the infection, your dentist will perform a root canal.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a plastic coating that is applied to the surface of the teeth. They help to prevent food particles from getting stuck in the small crevices of the teeth and causing tooth decay. These sealants are often recommended for children to protect their adult teeth, but adults can benefit from dental sealants too.
Teeth Extractions
If your tooth is affected by significant decay and there is no option of saving it, tooth extraction may be recommended by your dentist. It is essential to have regular dental checkups to detect dental issues early; once the problem is diagnosed, prompt treatment can increase the chances of saving the tooth.
Dental X-Rays
Dental X-rays are an essential feature of your oral exam as they allow your dentist to identify problems such as cavities or infections that may be present inside the teeth. Digital X-rays are comfortable for the patient and easy to perform by use of a small sensor that is placed briefly inside the mouth.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening is an essential part of your annual check-up. Your dentist will do a thorough visual assessment of the oral cavity to identify any discoloration of the mouth tissues. They will also gently feel the tissues of the mouth to check for any abnormalities.
