Preventative Dental Services
Exam & X-Rays
Essential for detection of tooth decay, bone loss, etc. and to determine tooth and root positions. Using digital x-rays, we are able to reduce our environmental impact.
Gum Evaluation
During this process the gums and bone around the teeth are checked for any signs of periodontal disease.
Examination of Tooth Decay and Restorations
All tooth surfaces are checked for decay and existing fillings, crowns, etc. are evaluated for integrity.
Cleaning
During a cleaning session calculus (tartar) and plaque will be removed.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by making the tooth more resistant to the acid produced by plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth.
