Get Back On Track With Your Oral Health
If it’s been quite some time since your last dental appointment, or you’ve never had one before, you may feel nervous about scheduling your visit. Our team is here to make your checkup as comfortable as possible. When you come in for your appointment, we will get to know you and review your oral health. One of our skilled dental hygienists will carefully clean and polish your teeth, which can help reduce the chances of cavities. Your dentist will also carefully examine your teeth, gums, and smile to check for any potential concerns. If they notice any problems like cavities or gingivitis, your treatment plan can be updated to include restorative care. Dental checkups are important for patients of all ages, so remember to book these visits for your entire family.
Your Dentist Can Help With TMJ And Bruxism
Your dentist can help you prevent cavities and keep a heathy smile. In addition to preventive care, they may also be able to help diagnose and treat troubles like TMJ dysfunction and bruxism. If you have noticed that you frequently get headaches or hear a popping sound when you open your mouth, it could be a sign that your TMJ joints are not properly aligned. A customized oral appliance may be able to help you jaw rest properly while you sleep and reduce your symptoms. This oral appliance may also be used to help protect your teeth from bruxism (teeth grinding) and avoid the need for restorative treatments like crowns in the future.
Plan Restorative Treatments Now
If you do need restorative care for problems like cavities or worn teeth, the best time to plan them is now. Your dental benefits reset each year, so you can start completely fresh. Issues like cavities should be treated promptly with a dental filling. During this treatment, the decayed part of the tooth is gently removed and cleaned before adding a stronger material to the surface. Dental fillings can help protect your pearly whites from more significant damage. Our team also offers cosmetic treatments to refresh your confidence. If you are interested in professional teeth whitening or other services, schedule your checkup today to learn more.
