During your exam, we’ll check for any signs of dental issues and provide personalized recommendations for maintaining your oral health.

Oral Cancer Screenings: Early detection is key when it comes to oral cancer. Our team performs thorough screenings to detect any signs of oral cancer in its earliest stages. By catching it early, we can increase the chances of successful treatment and improve outcomes for our patients.
Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are a simple yet effective way to protect your teeth from decay. We apply a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of your molars to seal out bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities.
Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent tooth decay. We offer fluoride treatments to patients of all ages to keep their smiles strong and healthy.

FAQs

How often should I visit the dental hygienist?

It's recommended to visit the dental hygienist at least twice a year for routine cleanings and exams. However, your specific needs may vary depending on your oral health condition and any underlying issues you may have. Our team will work with you to determine the best schedule for your dental hygiene appointments.

Are dental sealants suitable for adults?

While dental sealants are often associated with children, they can also benefit adults who are prone to cavities or have deep grooves in their molars. Our team can evaluate your dental health and recommend whether sealants are a good option for you.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen gums, bleeding gums during brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an appointment with our team for an evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Is fluoride treatment necessary for adults?

While fluoride treatments are often associated with children, they can benefit adults as well. Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay, so adults who are at a higher risk of cavities may benefit from fluoride treatments. Our team can assess your oral health and recommend whether fluoride treatments are appropriate for you.
