Preventive Dentistry Milltown

Dental Checkups & Cleanings

Regular dental checkups and cleanings every six months are considered the starting point for better oral health. Our dentists can establish a baseline for treatment and better understand what kind of issues might be forming early on. Apart from a comprehensive examination, digital X-rays, and scans, you’ll also undergo a professional dental cleaning to effectively remove accumulated plaque and tartar – common culprits associated with dental decay and gum disease.

Our team will also perform an oral cancer screening to ensure that no abnormalities, lesions, or discolored patches of tissue are evident. If they are, we will ensure that you get the additional testing that is required.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride’s ability to strengthen enamel while combatting tooth decay is why many dentists refer to it as “nature’s cavity fighter.” Its quick and painless application is recommended for children and adults who are prone to developing cavities over time. We will apply the fluoride to the surfaces of teeth during a regular checkup, so multiple appointments are not required. Ultimately, you and your family can expect better smile protection between visits.

Nightguards for Bruxism

You may not realize that you suffer from bruxism until you meet with Dr. Navneet or Dr. Simrann and learn that you have worn-down tooth enamel. If left untreated, you can develop sensitive and damaged teeth as well as sore and inflamed jaw joints. However, with a custom-made nightguard, we can craft an oral appliance that you can wear at night to keep your teeth from touching throughout the night. This will not only alleviate any pain but also prevent additional wear on our tooth enamel.
