Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Patients, no matter their age, should receive six-month dental checkups and cleanings. These visits typically include dental X-rays, a comprehensive oral examination, and professional teeth cleaning. If we discover any indications of decay, cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, or extensive damage, we’ll craft a treatment plan that focuses on targeting the problem so that your smile can remain healthy moving forward.
Gum Disease Treatment
With gum disease affecting nearly half of all adults in the U.S., it’s important to seek professional care should bleeding, inflammation, and other noticeable symptoms occur. With gum disease treatment, specifically scaling and root planing, we can target areas of bacterial accumulation and eliminate it. With the careful removal of plaque and tartar from teeth and around the gumline, we can improve the health of your gums and encourage proper healing.
Nightguards for Bruxism
If you suffer from bruxism, it means that you grind or clench your teeth at night. This common yet unhealthy habit causes worn-down tooth enamel and jaw pain if left untreated over time. However, with a custom nightguard, we can protect your smile from further damage. Designed to fit over the upper row of teeth, the device keeps the top and bottom arches from touching, so you no longer wake up with a sore mouth.
Oral Cancer Screenings
It’s estimated that oral cancer takes the life of one individual every hour. Whether it’s discolored patches, oral lesions, or other similar abnormalities, these signs are often not detected until it’s too late. Fortunately, Dr. Verjee is skilled in identifying the earliest symptoms of oral cancer, making the survival rate much higher. During a dental checkup, we’ll perform an oral cancer screening and suggest further treatment and testing should we find anything concerning.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment is commonly recommended for children; however, it’s equally beneficial to adults. Known to combat tooth decay and remineralize existing enamel, we can apply it to your teeth during a regular checkup so that you have extra protection that will remain in place between appointments. This type of preventive service can be most helpful if you are prone to cavities.
