General Dental Care
Whether the services you need are small or more complex, our goal is to provide you with the best dental care possible. We don’t just aim to keep your teeth healthy, but your gums as well. Gum disease can be a painful and dangerous disease. Dental problems, such as tooth loss, decay, or shifting, can result from unhealthy or damaged gums. The common source of gum disease is built up plaque. When you don’t keep up healthy dental habits, such as flossing and thorough brushing, a sticky layer of bacteria can build up on your teeth. Too much plaque buildup can lead to gum disease and a variety of other painful oral issues. Preventative treatment is far more cost-effective and healthy than “crisis” treatment. We encourage patients to practice healthy habits so they can avoid costly bills from painful emergency treatment. Quick cavity fillings or plaque removal cleanings allow us to treat patients in a preventative way, saving them money, time, and keeping them pain-free.
We also offer dental care for your children to help them learn healthy dental habits at a young age. Most young patients are told to brush and floss daily, but this doesn’t always happen. Whether children forget or simply cannot floss or brush effectively, cavities occur more often in younger patients. At our office, we have solutions to keep children’s teeth healthy, eliminating the threat of cavities through the use of a sealant. For younger children, the back teeth with deep grooves can be harder to keep clean and healthy. When we apply the sealant, it serves as a plastic-like coating to cover the back teeth. This process is quick and painless, making dental health more convenient. The American Dental Association recommends sealants for children with their first adult teeth, as it has been proven to drastically reduce tooth decay.
