Dental Checkups & Cleanings
The best way to avoid oral issues is to get dental checkups and cleanings every six months. These visits allow our dentists to examine your mouth for potential problems. From there, we can offer diagnoses and stop worse issues from cropping up. We next follow up that work with teeth cleaning to strengthen your smile until the next checkup. Lastly, your visit will end with oral hygiene tips to keep your grin safe at home.
Oral Cancer Screening
Our office does an oral cancer screening at each of our dental checkups. This step closely examines your mouth for the relevant cancer signs (sores, growths, discolored tissue, etc.). That means it makes an early diagnosis more likely, leading to more effective care. Early treatments have higher odds of success and tend to involve shorter recovery times.
Fluoride Treatment
We at Montague Dental may add a fluoride treatment at the end of your dental checkup. This option sets a fluoridated gel on your teeth after they’re polished. Said gel has more fluoride than what’s found in toothpaste or tap water, so it greatly enhances your enamel and lowers your risk of cavities. The treatment should give you lasting protection until your next routine visit. Better yet, it’s very easy for patients – the process is painless and only takes a minute!
Nightguards for Bruxism
If you grind your teeth in your sleep, now is a good time to correct that habit– it’ll really harm your teeth, restorations, and jaw muscles over time. Luckily, you can rely on one of our custom-made nightguards to help. This oral device would place a sturdy cushion between both rows of your teeth, keeping them from grinding against each other. You’d then sleep without having to worry.
