Hygiene
Our hygiene program offers a comprehensive range of services based on your individual needs. Plaque is a film of bacteria and food debris which builds up on teeth, especially around the gum line. if plaque is not removed daily it can harden into calculus, which may lead to gum disease. Our hygienists will remove plaque, tartar and surface stains, as well as provide instructions and feedback on your daily oral health care. X-rays and molds may be taken depending on your treatment plan.
Poor oral hygiene has long term effects on the mouth and the body. Untreated gum infection could result in tooth loss and increased risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, as well as other serious illnesses.
A good oral hygiene routine and regular visits to your dentist and hygienist are critical in preventing oral health conditions. Regular check-ups and dental cleanings are one of the best ways to protect your mouth!
Check-Ups
A check-up also known as recare is when the dentist will examine teeth for decay and evaluate periodontal tissue for any signs of disease. Regular check-ups allow us to focus on helping you maintain good oral health and early warning signs rather than treating major problems. Check-ups are much less costly in the long run that paying for time consuming treatment.
Sealants
Pit and Fissure Sealants are thin liquid coatings painted and cured onto cavity prone areas, such as chewing surfaces (premolars and molars) to prevent decay.
