Dental Checkups & Cleanings
It doesn’t matter what age you are, all patients should be completing biannual checkups and cleanings. During your checkup, we’ll closely examine all of your oral structures, including your teeth, gums, tongue, throat, cheeks and other areas for any signs of dental disease or underlying conditions. We’ll also carefully remove all plaque and tartar from the surface of teeth to prevent decay and infection. During this time, we’ll also confirm if your oral care routine at home is sufficient and recommend tips and products to improve it if necessary.

Oral Cancer Screenings
Thousands of Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer every year, which is why more and more dentists are taking the additional time to confirm the presence of oral cancer during your routine checkup. Oral cancer is characterized by oral sores that do not heal after at least two weeks as well as red or white patches inside the mouth. By committing to biannual checkups, you’re doing both your oral and overall health a big favor.

Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride plays a major role in maintaining long-term health of your tooth enamel, which is why you’ll find it in all of our recommended oral care products. On top of your regular oral care, our dental office near Lake Park performs fluoride treatments to strengthen and protect enamel every time you visit. Application only takes a few minutes to complete and ensures that your tooth enamel is protected from potential cavity development. We’re more than happy to recommend products we believe will keep your smile protected in between visits as well.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a great preventive intervention that we can apply to minimize the entire family’s risk of developing cavities. It’s non-invasive, quick, and discreet. All we’ll do is brush a clear solution over the biting surface of the molars. Once hardened, sealants will keep food debris and bacteria from collecting in their hard-to-clear crevices.
Athletic Mouthguards / Sportsguards
If you or anybody in your family participates in contact sports, consider investing in a customized athletic mouthguard. These are designed to provide your teeth and jaw with maximum protection so you can confidently play your best on the field or court.
