Check-Ups and Cleanings

Good oral hygiene by the patient that’s continued by regular dental visits can effectively promote and maintain your oral health. Routine dental cleanings are an important part of maintaining good oral health. When paired with regular brushing and flossing, professional cleanings can help prevent plaque buildup, tooth decay, and other dental issues. We recommend that patients schedule a dental cleaning appointment every six months to ensure the teeth and gums are in good condition.

How long has it been since your last dental checkup? If it has been longer than six months, contact us today to schedule your next appointment. We look forward to seeing you!

When oral cancer is diagnosed in its earliest stages, treatment is generally very effective. Studies report that the survival rate for oral cancer is 80-90% if it’s detected early. Any noticeable abnormalities in the tongue, gums, mouth or surrounding area should be evaluated by a health professional as quickly as possible.

Unlike many other cancer screening procedures, dental examinations are not invasive and are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

Feel free to contact us should you have any questions or want to come in for an examination.

Periodontal disease, also known as periodontitis and gum disease, is caused when bacteria grow and spread beneath the gums. It happens when plaque and tartar develop near the gumline. These hard substances make it difficult to clean your teeth and eliminate bacteria.

Over time, these bacteria can cause severe infections in the gum tissue and teeth. Without treatment, there is a high chance of tissue damage, gum recession, and tooth loss. There are two stages of gum disease – gingivitis and periodontitis.

Preventing gum disease with regular brushing and flossing is the best approach. Once an infection occurs, it’s essential to receive treatment from a qualified periodontist to protect your health and smile.

Although gum disease symptoms are different for everyone, there are several common ones to be mindful of. These include:
