Routine oral exams will help keep both your teeth and gums healthy, and catch the early signs of dental disease such as cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, tongue lesions and other general health problems. A dental X-ray can detect new cavities, especially those that could not be uncovered during regular cleanings. 

Improving oral health through maintaining good hygiene habits at home is essential. Good habits such as frequent brushing, flossing, a balanced diet and limiting sugar intake will go a long way in keeping your smile bright and healthy.

Fluoride is an essential element in keeping the enamel in your teeth healthy and able to withstand the acid environment the leads to teeth decays. To help enhance your smile, we provide fluoride treatment at our office to supplement your natural dietary intake.

Fillings will restore decayed teeth, and are made of tooth-colored porcelain or composite material. Sealants are acrylic coatings that will protect teeth from decays by acting as a protective barrier against harmful acids and plaque formation.

Mouth guards (or sport guards) are special teeth protective devices that are worn over the teeth (usually covering the upper teeth). They protect against broken teeth, lip lacerations, cuts, and other facial injuries mostly related to contact sports.

TMJ disorders are usually the result of joint misalignments, joint injuries, or other medical conditions. Symptoms include restricted jaw movement, clicking, popping and pain with chewing and biting.
