Oral Health Care and Prevention
The Importance of Preventive Dental Care – Proactive measures that stop problems before they start, saving you time, money, and discomfort.
Brushing Your Teeth – Proper technique using a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste twice daily to remove plaque and prevent decay.
How to Floss Your Teeth – Essential daily practice that cleans between teeth where brushes can’t reach, preventing cavities and gum disease.
Dental Cleanings and Oral Hygiene – Professional removal of hardened tartar and personalized guidance to maintain your oral health between visits.
Tooth Decay – Progressive damage to tooth enamel caused by bacterial acids that requires prompt treatment to prevent further complications.
Dry Mouth – Reduced saliva production that increases cavity risk and causes discomfort, often managed with specialized products and treatments.
Bad Breath/Halitosis – Persistent oral odor stemming from bacteria, food particles, or underlying health conditions.
Mouth Ulcers – Painful sores on soft oral tissues that typically heal within two weeks but may require treatment if persistent.
Malocclusion – Improper alignment between upper and lower teeth that can affect bite, speech, and jaw function.
Amalgam Fillings – Time-tested silver-colored restorations known for exceptional durability in high-pressure chewing areas.
Inlays/Onlays – Precision-crafted restorations that fit within or over tooth cusps when cavities are too large for fillings but don’t require full crowns.
Dental “Caps” – Tooth-shaped covers that strengthen damaged teeth and restore their original appearance and function.
Periodontal Surgery – Surgical intervention to eliminate deep gum pockets, reduce bacteria, and regenerate lost bone and tissue.
Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment – Deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing that remove bacteria and tartar below the gum line without surgery.
Crown Lengthening – Reshaping of gum and bone tissue to expose more tooth surface for restorations or cosmetic improvement.
Osseous Grafts or “Bone Grafts” – Surgical placement of bone material to rebuild jaw structure lost to disease or tooth extraction.
Toothaches – Dental pain signaling underlying issues like decay, infection, or nerve damage that requires professional diagnosis.
Traumatic Injuries – Damage from accidents or impact requiring immediate evaluation to save teeth and prevent long-term complications.
