Don’t be content in thinking tooth decay, bad breath, and gum disease is just simply a part of life. They don’t have to be! Our family dental practice emphasizes prevention – meaning that we teach our patients how to effectively fight against common dental problems. Our family dentists and hygienists can help you maintain a beautiful, natural smile that you’ll be flashing well into your golden years.
Preventative Dentistry includes:
- Athletic Mouth Guards
- Night Guards
- Sealants
- Prophylaxis (Cleaning)
- Visual Examinations
- Oral Cancer Screenings
- X-Rays
- Periodontal Examinations
- Oral Hygiene Instruction
- Perio Prophylaxis (Deep Cleaning)
- Fluoride Treatments
Almost everyone by the time they are adults has experienced some level of tooth decay. We’re trying to change that. With regular teeth cleanings, examinations, proper home-care, and pro-active treatments, we can protect your tooth enamel from attacking plaque, gingivitis, and bacteria. Our doctors may recommend dental sealants (anti-cavity coatings) or fluoride supplements (tooth-strengthening minerals) for an added measure of prevention.
There’s no reason to sugarcoat it – bad breath is embarrassing. Bad breath usually stems from poor oral hygiene. Especially for patients who don’t floss regularly. There’s no instant cure for bad breath, only quick, temporary resolutions. A little more time and effort spent at the sink each morning and night, along with regular dental checkups, will help lessen and prevent bad breath.
Gum disease is the number one cause of adult tooth loss, and recent studies have confirmed that patients with gum disease are twice as likely to develop heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses. It’s wise to begin teaching appropriate oral hygiene to children, teens, and young adults. Make sure you visit the dentist twice a year for cleanings, exams, and x-rays – they are your best defense against tooth decay.
Cobble Creek Dental encourages you to bring your children with you to your dental visits. From a young age, we can begin creating positive associations with dental visits. These positive relations will carry on into later years when it’s time for their own dental. We also take this opportunity to educate children on home-care, examine their teeth, and provide cavity-preventing treatments. By age three, children can begin independent checkups and cleanings with our practice.
