Digital X-Rays

While traditional X-rays are considered safe, digital X-rays produce 80% less radiation than traditional ones. Our office offers the latest digital X-Ray equipment.

Fluoride Treatment

Topical Flouride application provides a significant benefit for patients who have moderate to high risk for cavities. Fluoride treatments can actually make your teeth stronger and prevent cavities.

Home Care Tips

We will always discuss dental home care tips that will help improve your particular condition. Our goal is to prevent major dental work which can weaken oral health and cause future problems. 

Exams & Cleanings

Regular Exams and Cleanings can keep your oral health in top condition. We recommend visiting our office at least twice a year to spot potential areas of concern before they become a major issue.

Brushing & Flossing

Brushing and flossing your teeth after meals is a proven way to prevent tooth decay that can lead to cavities. It is also important to stimulate the gums and prevent periodontal desease from a build-up of plaque and bacteria.

Sealants

Dental sealants are much cheaper than dental fillings and improve oral hygiene and fight tooth decay. The procedure is quick and painless and provides extra protection for your teeth. 

Exams & Cleanings

Regular Exams and Cleanings can keep your oral health in top condition. We recommend visiting our office at least twice a year to spot potential areas of concern before they become a major issue.

Dental X-Rays

Dental X-Rays give the dentist the whole picture of your teeth and mouth. This allows us to look for potential signs of oral health issues that may require further attention. The ADA recommends that healthy adults with no major apparent dental problems only need to get x-rays about every 2-3 years. However, if you have oral health problems, it may be necessary to x-ray your mouth more frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Care

What kind of Toothbrush do you recommend?

We recommend a toothbrush with soft bristles as the medium and firm ones can damage your teeth and gums. Mixed bristle heights or angled bristles also clean better than toothbrushes with flat even bristles.

When used properly both manual and electric toothbrushes can be effective in cleaning your teeth.

How often and how long should I Brush My Teeth?

We recommend brushing your teeth at least twice a day. Preferably after you have eaten.

You should brush your teeth for at least two to three minutes as that is how long it takes to kill the bacteria that can cause plaque and decay. Always use toothpaste that has been approved by the American Dental Association.

How often should I replace my Toothbrush?

Replace your toothbrush every 3 – 4 months. You should also replace your toothbrush if the bristles are bent as they will not clean your teeth as well. Always replace your toothbrush after a cold or other illness to prevent contamination.

Does Mouthwash improve oral health?

Using a mouthwash does not replace the need for regular toothbrush cleaning which removes plaque and bacteria. Regular use of mouthwash helps prevent periodontal disease and, if the mouthwash contains fluoride, reduces cavities when used correctly.

Do I really need to Floss my teeth?

Flossing your teeth will remove plaque and bacteria between the teeth and in areas not able to be reached by your toothbrush. Plaque that is not removed by brushing and cleaning between your teeth can eventually harden into a rough substance called tartar. Tartar collects along your gum line and can lead to gum disease. Once tartar forms, only your dentist can remove it.

Should I Floss Before or After I Brush?

The ADA says that either way is acceptable, as long as you do a thorough job. Some people argue that they like to floss first to loosen food and debris from between teeth, which can be brushed away after. Others prefer to brush first to remove the bulk of plaque before flossing, and to allow the fluoride from toothpaste to reach areas that could be blocked by food. A recent study published in the Journal of Periodontology showed that the amount of plaque between teeth was reduced more in the floss first, brush second technique.

Are Waterpiks better than Flossing?

The rinsing action of Waterpiks may not be enough to remove plaque completely from the surface of teeth. Some people like to use string floss first, to scrape off and loosen plaque. A Waterpik can then be used to efficiently rinse out residue and plaque left behind. Waterpiks are also advantageous when flossing is not able to get between teeth because of braces or other dental appliances.
