It is highly recommended that all dental patients see a dentist for a cleaning and exam every 6 months. During the cleaning, our team will remove plaque and calculus from your teeth, leaving behind a bright and polished smile.

Tips for Cavity Prevention

1. Make sure your teeth are REALLY clean!

We recommend using a mechanical toothbrush to help you remove all the plaque from your teeth. You should be brushing twice a day and flossing once a day.

2. Use Fluoride

Whether it’s your toothpaste or your mouthwash, make sure it contains fluoride.

3. Make Good Nutritional Choices

It helps prevent cavities when you choose food and drinks with less acid and sugar. If you do eat acidic, sugary, or sticky foods, having a glass of water afterwards will help neutralize the harmful effects.

4. Treat Your Dry Mouth

If you typically have reduced saliva due to medications, or any other reasons, we recommend you drink a lot of water to keep your mouth producing a healthy amount of saliva. This will help reduce cavity-causing bacteria found in your mouth.

5. Take Oral Probiotics

Oral probiotics can be taken to create and maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in our mouths.

6. Frequent Dental Visits

A denture is a removable dental appliance made to resemble your natural teeth and serves as a replacement for any missing teeth and surrounding tissue.

There are two types of dentures – complete and partial dentures. A complete denture may be recommended when all of the teeth on either the upper and/or lower arch are missing. Where as a partial denture may be the right option when some of the natural teeth remain. A partial denture is also beneficial in that it not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from shifting in a patient’s mouth.

As an alternative to bridges, partials or full dentures, dental implants similarly look and feel just like natural teeth. Implants are anchored into the patient’s jawbone with no preparation of the adjacent teeth. Implants can also help secure a removable denture to give a patient more comfort and confidence.

Invisalign is an effective alternative to metal braces by using custom made, invisible aligners to straighten your teeth. They have no uncomfortable wires, and because they are removable, patients can eat and drink whatever they want.
