General Dentistry From Your Dentist In Epping

A dental hygiene visit involves more than just a “teeth cleaning,” which we refer to as periodontal therapy. During your exam, we thoroughly check for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues. Our preventive approach helps maintain your oral health and prevent future complications.

A nightguard is like a mouthguard that you wear during sleep to prevent teeth grinding or to provide treatment for patients with sleep disorders. Custom-fitted to your teeth, nightguards help protect your teeth from damage caused by grinding and clenching. They also alleviate symptoms of jaw pain and headaches associated with bruxism.

If you have a sore that doesn’t heal, abnormal lumps and lesions, or any pain that makes eating or swallowing difficult, call our office immediately. Early detection is key in preventing oral cancer. The ORAL ID is an advanced screening technology that uses fluorescent light to illuminate the oral cavity to detect abnormal cells that may be otherwise invisible to the naked eye.

Sealants can help prevent cavities by using a resin that bonds to teeth, leaving less space for bacteria to hide and cause problems. This protective coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay is most likely to occur. They are quick, painless, and an effective way to maintain a healthy smile.

Even with excellent everyday dental hygiene, dental hygiene therapy is necessary for clearing away biofilm in hard-to-reach spots. Our periodontal therapy uses advanced laser dentistry and ozone to balance the microbiome below the gumline. This technology promotes healing and reduces discomfort during periodontal therapy.
