Dental Checkups & Cleanings
If you want to remain cavity-free and avoid other types of dental issues, brushing and flossing each day is crucial—but so is seeing us twice a year for routine checkups and cleanings! These appointments will enable us to spot and treat any minor problems before they can turn into major headaches, plus our hygiene team will have the chance to remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup that your toothbrush cannot reach, leaving you with a sparkling clean smile that looks as good as it feels!
Gum Disease Treatment
Without consistent daily oral hygiene, you can develop an infection called gum disease, which erodes the tissue around your teeth to the point that they can actually fall out without professional intervention! Fortunately, our team at Dentistry By Canyon Creek can help with treatments before this ever happens, and we can also help you manage your current condition. If you’re experiencing red, swollen, or tender gums that bleed often, be sure to come see us so you can get the attention you need right away!
Nightguards for Bruxism
Unfortunately, some patients grind their teeth and clench their jaw at night, which can be very damaging over time. This is called bruxism, and it’s a very common response to daily stress. As you can imagine, it’s really hard to break a habit that only happens while you’re asleep, which is why we’re happy to provide our patients with nightguards. These small oral appliances are worn to bed and guard the teeth from coming together during the night.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is a serious disease that many patients aren’t able to beat; however, it’s actually treatable if it’s caught early on. It’s unfortunately also pretty easy to miss in its initial stages. This is why our team will always perform an oral cancer screening whenever you come to see us for a routine checkup. Our trained eyes will be able to spot any suspicious areas way before you can, and if we find anything, we can help you get the care you need right away.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that’s found in most oral hygiene products and drinking water sources, and it’s been trusted to fight cavities and assist teeth for decades. To give our patients an extra boost of cavity protection and repair any areas of minor decay, we can apply a topical fluoride varnish as part of their regular checkups. This quick and easy treatment process is one of the best ways to keep your smile healthy between appointments.
