Dental Checkups & Cleanings
We recommend that patients of all ages attend at least one checkup and cleaning every six months, or two each year on average. These services are vital because they help us become familiar with your unique smile and any issues it’s facing, making any necessary treatment simpler and more effective in the long run. Routine cleanings will also get rid of dangerous plaque accumulation and leave your teeth beautifully refreshed!
Nightguards for Bruxism
If you wake with frequent headaches and a sore jaw, it may be that you are suffering from bruxism. Also known as teeth grinding and clenching, it’s imperative to seek professional help in the form of a customized nightguard. This device not only creates a barrier between your upper and lower rows of teeth but also reduces tension and pressure on your jaw joints. It also helps reduce the amount of wear and tear to your tooth enamel, effectively safeguarding your teeth for the future.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Nearly 50,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer each year. While it might seem that only those who smoke are at risk, the reality is that it can target virtually anyone. Without early detection, the consequences can be fatal. This is why we conduct an oral cancer screening at each dental checkup. Quickly examining your mouth and facial structures for abnormalities, lesions, and discolored patches, we can ensure the health of your smile and body throughout the year. If a concerning area is detected, we can get you the help you need to pursue treatment as soon as possible.
Fluoride Treatment
Most patients understand that fluoride is commonly found in tap water and toothpaste; however, it’s also in various foods, soil, and even the air. When administered in appropriate amounts, fluoride can be a helpful and healthy way to combat decay and strengthen tooth enamel. While many patients believe they get enough just by brushing, those who struggle with cavities can benefit from additional fluoride treatment, which we can apply during a regular checkup and cleaning appointment.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Getting your wisdom teeth (the third molars that typically show up when a patient is between the ages of 16-22) is often seen as a rite of passage for young adults, but unfortunately, it’s not always a happy occasion. Today, most mouths simply don’t have the necessary room to accommodate these late arrivals, which can result in impaction, overcrowding, higher risks of infection, and other serious issues. Our Roselle Park team will be sure to keep a close eye on the development of these teeth in younger patients, and if we determine that complications are likely, removing them may be a worthwhile preventive measure that can protect your smile in the long run.
