Exams

Exams are the cornerstone of mouh health. During your exam, the doctor will check for decay and cracked teeth. He will also evaluate your jaw joint and lymph nodes, and perform an oral cancer screening and periodontal exam. Any necessary x-rays would also be prescribed and evaluated by the doctor. One of our highly trained hygienists will perform a periodontal evaluation to check the health of your gum tissue and supporting bone.

Cleanings

Routine cleanings by our Registered Dental Hygienists are a vital step in maintaining your dental health.

Sealants

Dental sealants protect back teeth from tooth decay. They are thin plastic coatings that are applied to the grooves on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Most tooth decay in children and teens occurs on these surfaces; using sealants protects the chewing surfaces by keeping germs and food particles out of these grooves.

There is no drilling and the process is short and easy.

Fluoride

Applying concentrated fluoride at least once every 12 months is another important step in the fight against decay.
