Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer isn’t talked about a lot in the media, but it’s actually one of the deadliest varieties, claiming about one life in the US each and every hour. Our dentists will keep an eye out for any lesions, growths, or discolored patches of tissue in your mouth that could indicate cancerous or precancerous cells. If they find something, you’ll be referred to a specialist for a diagnosis, ensuring that treatment can begin as soon as possible if needed.
Fluoride Treatments
One of the best ways to keep your teeth strong and free of decay is to regularly expose them to fluoride, which you can do by brushing your teeth and drinking tap water. At our dental office, after your cleaning, we’ll apply a highly-concentrated fluoride solution to your teeth, which will help replace any minerals in the enamel that have been stripped away by plaque and bacteria. This will make them more resilient to developing cavities, and this effect should last all the way until your next checkup and cleaning.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Many patients, whether they know it or not, unconsciously grind their teeth while they sleep, which can actually wear down the enamel to the point of breaking while also leading to jaw strain. To stop this, our dentists have a simple solution: a nightguard. Worn only to bed, this custom-made mouthpiece fits comfortably over the teeth to keep them separated and safe while someone slumbers. In some cases, this treatment can also help patients struggling with sleep apnea and TMJ disorder!
