  • Teeth grinding
  • Advanced gum disease, also known as periodontal disease

We’ve developed long-term relationships with a number of our patients and are looking to help you establish the same kind of relationship with your dentist. Allow us to welcome you to our practice. Contact us as soon as possible to schedule your first appointment with us.

 Where Can I Receive Dental Cleanings and Gum Treatments?

One of the most common reasons that patients visit our practice is to receive professional dental cleanings. While brushing and flossing your teeth is important, there are areas of the teeth that can’t be reached by a toothbrush or dental floss. Only a dental professional can get rid of the hard-to-reach plaque and calculus build up that develops on the surface of the teeth over time. Plaque is a clear film that is full of bacteria. It sticks on the surface of your teeth whenever you eat or drink. If you brush and floss every day, you keep plaque from building up. If you don’t take care of it, it will turn into a hardened material known as calculus. Calculus attacks the enamel of your teeth and causes cavities. Only a professional can eliminate built-up calculus from your mouth.

The bacteria found within plaque can also have a negative impact on your gums. If left unaddressed, it can lead to gingivitis. Gingivitis is the first stage of gum disease. You may have gingivitis if your gums are red, sensitive or bleed whenever you brush and floss. If you have any of those symptoms, you should seek out gum disease treatment immediately. If you don’t treat gingivitis, it will eventually turn into periodontal disease. This advanced form of gum disease can lead to tooth loss if you fail to receive periodontal treatment in a timely manner.

 How Can I Receive Treatment for Bad Breath?

Bad breath is medically known as halitosis. It is estimated that over 25% of people in the United States will suffer from this embarrassing problem at some point in their lives. It is usually caused by something that a person ate, a lack of good oral hygiene or tooth decay. If you’ve been suffering from bad breath, we are able to help you get rid of it once and for all when you come in for your dental exam. We can provide professional cleanings, specialized treatments and oral hygiene recommendations that you can utilize at home in order to help you eliminate your bad breath.

 Why Are Oral Cancer Screenings Necessary?

As part of your regular dental exam, our dentist will perform an oral cancer screening. This screening is an imperative part of maintaining your oral and overall health. This is due to the fact that oral cancer is a life-threatening condition that doesn’t usually have any symptoms when it is in its earliest stages. Once you’ve noticed a lump, the cancer has most likely spread to other areas of your body. This makes it harder to treat. If the condition is found early on, it is much easier to treat. We care about your overall health, which is why we provide all of our patients with these essential screenings once they have turned 18.

While many people put off going to the dentist, it’s important you see your dentist on a regular basis. Your dental and oral health has a direct impact on your overall health. Part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle is keeping your teeth, gums and mouth healthy.
