PREVENTATIVE DENTISTRY
Your beautiful smile rests on the foundation of good dental health. The preventive care we provide at DENTOLOGY builds that healthy foundation:
- Regular Check-ups with complimentary Intra-oral Exams.
- Hygiene Cleanings.
- Deep Cleanings – This thorough hygiene procedure often resolves gum issues and prevents the need for gum surgery.
- Oral Cancer Screening – Each year over 30,000 American are diagnosed with oral cancer. One out of four of those diagnosed do not smoke or drink alcohol. When oral cancer is detected in the more advanced later stages, the survival rate is only about 50%; however, when diagnosed early the cure rate is about 80-90%. Our Practice recently incorporated the Orascoptic DK exam into our oral screening standard of care. Using the Orascoptic DK, along with a visual oral cancer examination improves the ability to identify abnormal tissues at its earliest stages. Early detection of potentially cancerous tissue can minimize or eliminate the disfiguring effects of oral cancer and possibly save your life. The exam will be offered to you annually.
- Night guards – sensitivity to heat or cold, loosened teeth, fractures, and headaches. These things can happen from grinding your teeth, most of the time while you sleep. As many as 90% of us grind our teeth at night. There is evidence that a bite out of alignment contributes to bruxism. Our practice can relieve the damages of bruxism with a custom dental appliance.
- NTI (Nocioceptive Trigeminal Inhibition) Tension Suppression System-the only non-drug, FDA-approved treatment for migraines.
- Bad Breath Treatment.
Our Professional hygienists will work with you and serve as your guide to determine if any of these treatments or services are right for you. Assisting you with the latest information and comprehensive understanding of not only what these procedures are, but how they can best benefit your overall health.
