Our Office
Cavities are commonplace, affecting 60-90% of children and nearly 100% of adults worldwide according to the American Dental Association. But don't worry – with regular dental checkups and proper oral care at home, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing tooth decay. At our practice, we offer a range of preventive and general dentistry services to help people of all ages keep their smiles looking and feeling healthy.
Tooth decay forms when bacteria in your mouth combine with sugars from your food, creating an acid that eats away at your tooth enamel. If this process isn't stopped or reversed quickly enough, it can lead to cavities. There are many factors that can increase your risk for developing tooth decay, including a high-sugar diet, dry mouth conditions, teeth grinding, and gum recession. Maintaining good oral hygiene and scheduling regular dental checkups are crucial steps in preventing cavities.
When you come into our office for a routine dental examination, our skilled and compassionate team will assess the health of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. We'll use advanced diagnostic technology to detect any signs of dental disease or developing problems early on so that we can provide timely treatment. As part of every checkup, we'll also give you a thorough professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque buildup and tartar – things you might have missed while brushing and flossing at home.
We'll review your current oral hygiene routine with you and offer guidance on how you can clean and care for your teeth more effectively between checkups. Our goal is to help you maintain optimal oral health throughout every stage of life.
While tooth decay is incredibly common, it's almost entirely preventable with proper care. Our team is committed to providing personalized, state-of-the-art solutions to help you protect the health and beauty of your smile. Whether you need a dental checkup or are interested in learning more about the services we offer, give us a call today!
