Dental Checkups & Cleanings
A dental checkup generally entails taking a close look at your teeth and gums to see if there are any issues developing. We will take X-rays to get a complete picture of the state of your oral health, and we can also use VELscope® to screen for oral cancer. In addition to keeping an eye out for existing problems, we will do our part to reduce the risk of future ones happening by removing any plaque and tartar deposits that we find.
Gum Disease Treatment
Are your gums sore or inflamed? Does it seem like they bleed easily? If any of these symptoms are present, you might have gum disease. In order to treat the problem, we may recommend scaling and root planing in order to get rid of the bacteria beneath your gum tissue. Depending on your circumstances, our team may suggest other solutions such as antibiotic therapy or a laser periodontal treatment performed with a sapphire diode laser.
Dentistry for Children
It’s important for your child to start developing the right oral health habits as early in life as possible, and seeing a trustworthy dentist regularly is certainly an important practice to get into. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you would like to schedule an appointment for your little one. In particular, if your child has a lip or tongue-tie that’s causing breastfeeding difficulties or affecting their oral development, we’ll be more than happy to treat the issue with a quick, gentle laser frenectomy.
