OUR SERVICES

Prophylaxis

Prophylaxis is a preventive dental cleaning procedure aimed at maintaining oral health and preventing gum disease. This thorough cleaning involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth and below the gumline. Prophylaxis not only keeps your smile bright but also helps to avoid serious dental issues by ensuring that harmful bacteria do not accumulate. Regular prophylaxis appointments are essential for maintaining optimal oral hygiene and preventing the onset of periodontal diseases.

Fluoride Varnish

Fluoride varnish is a highly effective treatment used to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. Applied every 3 to 6 months depending on individual needs, this varnish offers a protective barrier that enhances the tooth’s resistance to decay. It also helps reduce tooth sensitivity, particularly to cold stimuli. The application process is quick and simple, involving the brushing of a concentrated fluoride gel onto the teeth. This treatment is especially beneficial for children and those prone to cavities.

ORAL hEALTH

Periodontal disease, often known as gum disease, is a serious infection that damages the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth. Without treatment, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to other serious health issues, such as heart disease and diabetes. Periodontal disease begins with the accumulation of bacteria, plaque, and calculus (hardened plaque) in the tiny spaces between your teeth and gums, known as the sulcus. This buildup cannot be effectively removed through regular brushing, flossing, or standard dental cleanings. As the bacteria proliferate, they cause the gums to become inflamed and the spaces (pockets) to deepen. This deeper invasion of bacteria leads to an infection known as gingivitis, which can escalate to periodontal disease if untreated.
