How to Prevent Cavities
Cavities are small in size but can cause big problems. In the form of little holes in your teeth, they develop when acid attacks your tooth enamel.
Oral Hygiene for Kids
It can be a challenge to get our children to brush, brush well, and brush often. Here are some tips that can help you keep those beautiful little teeth healthy.
Oral Surgery Procedures
Oral surgery refers to any operation on your teeth, gums, mouth, or facial structures, and ranges from routine tooth extractions to more complex corrective jaw surgeries.
Interdental Cleaning Devices
Twice a year when you visit your dentist for a checkup and professional cleaning, you are probably given instructions on proper oral hygiene.
Mouthwash
Adding an appropriate mouthwash to your dental hygiene routine can be a simple and effective way to improve your overall dental health.
Toothpaste
As you know, your dentist recommends fluoride toothpaste because fluoride prevents cavities. Fluoride bonds with the calcium and phosphate ions in our tooth enamel, repairing weak spots.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you feel more calm and relaxed during your dental procedure. Sometimes called conscious sedation dentistry, you will experience forgetfulness and insensitivity to pain all while still being conscious.
Sinus Surgery
Dental implants are a great, innovative way to replace teeth, but sometimes there isn’t enough bone to support the implant. In this case, your doctor might recommend sinus surgery.
Oral Diagnosis and Biopsies
An oral biopsy is a tissue sample gathered from an abnormality in the mouth and is sent to a lab to undergo further testing.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery, aims to correct abnormalities of the jawbones in order to realign the jaws and teeth to improve overall function.
Cleft Lip and Palate
A cleft lip and cleft palate are common birth defects that occur in the very early stages of fetal development.
Blood Thinners and Oral Surgery
Blood thinners are a type of medicine that prevents your blood from clotting inside a blood vessel, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Facial Trauma and Reconstructive Surgery
When accidents happen, our oral and maxillofacial surgeons are here to help. Facial trauma refers to any unexpected force to the face that results in any injury to the teeth, bones, or soft-tissue of the face.
Oral Cancer Screenings and Surgery
Oral cancer may not be as well known as other forms of cancer, but that doesn’t make it any less dangerous. Oral cancer screenings are vital to detect any precancerous or cancerous conditions in the mouth.
Bite Problems
Orthodontic treatment can correct jaw and teeth misalignment, and give you an amazing smile in the process.
Adult Orthodontic Treatment
It’s never too late to achieve your perfect smile, and now more than ever, adults are seeking orthodontic treatment. Approximately 25% of orthodontic patients are adults.
Temporary Anchorage Devices
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs), also known as “mini implants,” are titanium devices that are screwed into your gum and jaw. TADs act as anchors to support the movement of your teeth.
Teen Orthodontic Care
Teens should begin orthodontic treatment between the age of 11 and 13, especially if they experience oral problems such as a bad bite, tooth gapping, or misaligned teeth.
