What’s Included in General Dentistry at Our Clinic?

  • Caries Susceptibility Test: Identifying hidden caries is challenging during clinical examinations. To overcome this, we conduct a caries susceptibility test to evaluate contributing factors and effectively prevent future caries.
  • Routine Tooth Extractions: To maintain oral health, extraction may be necessary for severely decayed or mobile teeth that cannot be splinted.
  • Periodontal Treatment: Good oral hygiene extends beyond healthy teeth; it also involves maintaining healthy gums. Pathogenic bacteria can cause inflammation, tooth decay, and gum problems. Periodontal treatment effectively addresses gingivitis, a common issue.
  • Advantage Arrest: This preventive measure halts caries progression early in high-risk individuals.
  • Perio Protect: Our dental team prioritizes treating gum-related issues, recognizing their significance for overall oral health.
  • Oral Cancer Screenings: Regular screenings detect and monitor oral cancer signs, enabling early intervention and prevention of complications.
  • Dental Sealants and Fluoride Treatments: We utilize advanced techniques, such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments, to prevent early-stage caries.
  • Scaling & Prevention: Regular teeth cleaning helps prevent plaque buildup and gum problems from developing.
  • Routine Tooth Checkups: Experts recommend a comprehensive examination, including checks for caries, gum issues, and suspicious pathologies, every 6-12 months.

It is not unusual for some dental patients to try their absolute best to establish and maintain optimal oral hygiene habits, only to feel utterly discouraged when their dentist informs them that they have cavities. In some cases, however, there are other contributing factors that, if detected through a caries susceptibility test and resolved, can better prevent cavities from occurring. Learn more
