Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Even if you brush and floss every day, there are likely difficult-to-reach spots in your mouth that you frequently miss where harmful plaque and tartar can gather and potentially cause cavities. Twice-a-year teeth cleanings give our team the chance to thoroughly remove these substances, safeguarding your smile, and Dr. Brown will also give you an exam to look for the earliest signs of tooth decay or damage. That way, he can take care of an issue well before you even notice it.
Nightguards for Bruxism/Teeth Grinding
Do your mornings usually start with a headache? Are your teeth looking worn down and cracked? If so, then you may be experiencing bruxism, or nighttime teeth grinding and jaw clenching. This unconscious habit can wreak havoc on your mouth if left untreated, but the solution is rather simple: a nightguard. This is a custom-fitted mouthpiece you’ll wear to bed that will prevent your teeth from touching while also enabling your strained jaw muscles to relax.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer doesn’t get the same amount of attention compared to other types, but it’s actually one of the deadliest varieties. That’s because the early signs are very subtle and easy to miss, meaning most people don’t notice something and seek out treatment until the disease is already quite advanced. To make sure oral cancer doesn’t have the chance to sneak up on you or a loved one, we’ll perform a screening at every appointment. If we find any suspicious growths or sores, we can help a patient get the care they need without delay, drastically increasing their chance of a fast and full recovery.
Fluoride Treatment
Everyone should be using a fluoridated toothpaste at home, as this helpful mineral is proven to fortify the tooth enamel and make it more resistant to cavities. Many patients can also benefit from a topical fluoride treatment at their checkups and cleanings. We simply apply a highly concentrated fluoride gel to the teeth or have the patient use a mouth rinse, and this provides a quick and potent boost of decay protection that will last all the way until someone’s next routine appointment.
