Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Identifying cavities, infections, damage, and bite issues early on is part of what you can expect when arriving for a dental checkup and cleaning. These six-month appointments allow us to examine your smile while also screening for abnormalities that may point to oral cancer. You can expect to receive a thorough dental cleaning as well, ensuring all plaque and tartar are removed for healthier teeth and gums.
Gum Disease Treatment
When bacteria attack your gums, bleeding and inflammation are likely to occur. When this happens, the infection can spread and create gum pockets that make it easy to trap food debris and harmful particles. However, with gum disease treatment, we can use scaling and root planing (i.e., deep cleaning) to clear away plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gums as well as encourage gum reattachment and faster healing by smoothing out the roots of your teeth.
Fluoride Treatment
Dr. Burton may recommend fluoride treatment if you or a loved one is prone to developing cavities. This natural mineral is designed to fight off tooth decay and strengthen existing enamel through remineralization when applied. Although commonly found in toothpaste and tap water, your exposure to it may not be enough, so a fast and pain-free application can be provided during your next dental checkup.
Nightguards for Bruxism
More commonly known as teeth grinding, this habit usually occurs at night and can wear down tooth enamel and increase jaw pain over time. With a customized nightguard, though, Dr. Burton can equip you with a device that fits over your top or bottom row of teeth so that your arches do not touch while you sleep. It also helps reposition your jaw so that it remains in a more comfortable position.
