Diagnostic and Preventative

Comprehensive Exam

Thorough examination of dentitions, soft tissues and jaws. These will diagnose cavities, developing jaw or orthodontic problems, screen for cancer or other diseases.

Orthodontic Screening

Each visit we look at the child’s jaw development and occlusion so we can diagnose developing problems and refer to a specialist at the appropriate time.

X-Rays

The use of x-rays is considered a necessary component of a thorough dental examination. Without x-rays, we are unable to detect small cavities between the teeth, missing teeth, extra teeth, abscesses or other diseases that do not become obvious until they have progressed to a severe level. X-rays are recommended only when necessary to protect your child’s health.

Fluoride

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent tooth decay. We can get these benefits from fluoridated drinking water and by using over-the-counter fluoride toothpastes and rinses. For superior protection against cavities, your dentist might recommend a professional fluoride treatment.

Fluoride Treatments

Silver Diamide Fluoride

Silver Diamide fluoride can be used to temporarily arrest and prevent the spread of decay.
