Although it is essential to maintain home dental hygiene and regularly clean and floss your teeth, you should still have routine checkups and cleanings performed by a dentist. One part of your cleaning appointment is that we will provide you with a comprehensive removal of all plaque/tartar buildup that may have occurred in your mouth since your last appointment, which cannot be done at home. We will also examine your teeth and gums and check for signs of decay, infection or other issues that may require treatment. Doing this allows us to establish a treatment plan before the small problems become large problems.
If oral cancer goes undiagnosed or is detected too late, it may result in death. Thus, every routine checkup includes a simple and quick screening for oral cancer. When an abnormality is detected at its earliest stages through a screening program, the probability of successfully treating the patient increases, and the patient's remaining health for the long term improves dramatically.
Tooth enamel is essential to protecting you from cavities. After it’s been broken down or damaged, enamel cannot be replaced. Fluoride treatments help to strengthen tooth enamel and increase the enamel's resistance to bacteria and acid. Fluoride is a quick, painless procedure performed immediately after your teeth are cleaned. You will receive an additional layer of protection before your next dental appointment.
Does your jaw hurt or your head ache upon waking up each morning? There may be a few reasons for this, but one of the most likely is a condition known as bruxism (or unconscious teeth grinding), which, when left untreated, may cause tooth wear and/or fracture. Dr. Paylor can make you a custom oral appliance (or mouth guard) to help protect the enamel on your teeth while you sleep by separating your upper and lower teeth. Additionally, many of these appliances will help relieve the symptoms associated with a TMJ disorder as well.
