Read on to learn more about the general dental services we offer!

CLEANINGS & EXAMS

At Let’s Smile Dental, we recommend that our patients come in for cleanings and exams at least twice a year.

  • During these appointments, our hygienists will perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth, removing any plaque and tartar buildup. While you may brush and floss well at home, these cleanings help to reach hard-to-reach areas and keep your teeth in optimal health.
  • Afterward, our dentists will conduct a comprehensive exam to make sure the overall health of your teeth is good. This includes checking for any cavities or other issues that may have gone unnoticed since your last visit. Additionally, we can use advanced x-ray technology to take a closer look at your teeth, gums, and jaw for any signs of decay or other potential issues.

FLUORIDE TREATMENT

In addition to regular cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments are an important part of general dental care. Fluoride is a mineral that works to strengthen your tooth enamel and prevent decay. It is often found in toothpaste, mouthwashes, and other dental products, but you can receive more concentrated levels of fluoride through professional treatments.

DENTAL SEALANTS

Dental sealants are thin coatings that are applied to the surfaces of your molars in order to protect them from plaque and bacteria. These teeth are often vulnerable to decay due to the deep pits and fissures that make it difficult for even the best toothbrush to reach. Dental sealants can help protect these vulnerable teeth from decay by creating a barrier that seals out acidic saliva, bacteria, and other debris.

MAINTAINING HYGIENE AT HOME

Even with regular dental visits, it is important for our patients to stay on top of their oral hygiene at home. Taking the time to brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily helps prevent plaque buildup and can help keep your mouth healthy between visits.

We also recommend that patients avoid sugary and acidic drinks that can cause tooth decay. Moreover, we suggest limiting your intake of food and drinks high in sugar to promote healthy teeth.

If you want to maintain a healthy smile for years to come, it is important to make sure your oral hygiene habits are top-notch. By following these simple steps, you can help keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong!
