Family Dentist In Georgetown Creating Flawless Smiles
When it comes to consulting dentists for family dental care, many patients take a step back. This happens when they lack knowledge of the oral concerns and expertise of a dentist in treating them. Let’s cover some top dental woes that require the intervention of a family dental practitioner.
Tooth Decay: Bacterial growth and plaque buildup often result in decaying your teeth. Ignoring oral hygiene or skipping dental appointments can make you prone to cavities.
Gum Disease: Many dentists term this condition as periodontitis or gingivitis, which indicates severe gum infection. It can affect teeth roots, causing even permanent loss.
Broken or Chipped Teeth: Any kind of dental trauma, biting tough substances, or accidents are the main causes of chipped or broken teeth. You need swift care to repair your tooth, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.
Bruxism: Patients suffering from bruxism experience teeth clenching or grinding. This condition can cause jaw pain, headache, or tooth wear. Your family dentist is the best ally to identify the signs of pain, discomfort, and behavioral changes associated with this dental concern.
Teeth Cleanings & Exams
Sometimes all you need is a routine checkup, and we’re happy to help with just that! Cleanings and exams are recommended every six months to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy. We’ll brush, polish, and floss your teeth, and perform a cavities risk assessment. We also take any necessary dental X-rays. Dr. Dholariya will look for any problem areas or abnormalities and give you his recommendations for next steps, if any.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a mineral used to prevent tooth decay and to strengthen enamel. Essentially, the fluoride replaces any nutrients in the teeth that have been lost or eroded due to plaque. We offer both in-office fluoride treatment as well as fluoride trays you can use at home. This treatment is mostly used for patients, both adults and children, who are not getting enough fluoride through their drinking water or toothpaste, or who are at a higher risk for decay.
Sealants
Your back teeth, or molars, have grooves on the top that are prime spots for bacteria to hide. We use sealants to fill in these hard-to-reach crevices to stop bacteria and acid from settling in there and prevent cavities from forming. Placing sealants is a fast, painless process, and it can help save you stress in the long run by keeping you cavity-free. Plus, sealants aren’t just for kids — adults can benefit from them too!
Nightguards
Has anyone mentioned to you that you grind your teeth while you sleep? Or maybe you’ve come in for your dental check-up and Dr. Dholariya has noticed that your teeth are being worn down. If so, you may suffer from bruxism, a condition where your grind your teeth at night. It can lead to tooth trauma, receding gums, jaw pain, and headaches. We can fit you with a custom nightguard that’ll act as a barrier between your teeth and stop serious damage from occurring.
Oral Cancer Screenings
A lot of people think that the dentist is only focused on your teeth, but not so! We care about your complete oral health. We offer screenings where we examine your mouth for any signs of oral cancer, such as white or abnormally red patches. The earlier we can identify the disease, the greater likelihood that you can cure the condition. Risk factors of oral cancer include a previous history of the condition, alcohol use, and tobacco use.
Chipped Tooth Repair
Chipping a tooth can happen as the result of a fall, a sporting accident or weakening of the tooth due to decay or disease. Regardless of the cause, however, it is important to have the chipped tooth repaired. Besides altering your smile, a chipped tooth can cause discomfort, pain, difficulty eating and infection of the pulp tissue. Over time, a chipped tooth will also likely change your bite, which can lead to further oral health problems.
