Exceptional Dentistry for Adults & Seniors
As you age, the type of dental services you need changes. However, prevention remains key to your dental health and overall well-being throughout your life. We focus on regular exams and maintenance cleanings. Any damage to your teeth and gums can pose a severe risk to your oral health, which is related to your whole-body health, also known as the oral-systemic connection.
What is the Oral-Systemic Connection?
Gum disease is caused by bacteria in your mouth that can find their way to the bloodstream through your gums or respiratory system. Once bacteria access the bloodstream, they can travel to other parts of the body contributing to inflammation. These bacteria can intensify heart disease, spike insulin levels, or making diabetes symptoms more serious.
Dental Prevention Techniques For Adults
We provide you with the following prevention services to maintain your oral health.
Oral Health Exams: During examinations, we thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, tongue, jaws, head, and neck. Our exam looks for warning signs of potential oral health complications. Our team also takes a series of x-rays to identify any dental issues you might have. We perform a cancer screening with every oral exam.
Dental Cleanings: We recommend you undergo professional cleanings twice a year. During these appointments, we can clean all the hard-to-reach areas and remove plaque and tartar buildup.
Do You Provide Gum Disease Treatment?
If we discover gum disease, we offer scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning. For severe cases, we refer to a periodontist.
Sleep Apnea & TMD
In addition to interrupting your rest, sleep apnea is also linked to harmful conditions like Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). We offer sleep apnea appliances and nightguards that can improve your sleep significantly and reduce dental issues.
Additional Treatments for Adults & Seniors
Regardless of your needs, whether complex or routine, Dr. Howarth and his team use top-quality materials and state-of-the-art technologies to provide you with the best care.
We provide various treatments to help you revive your smile, including:
Give Your Teen a Confident Smile
We care about your teen’s teeth and monitor their smile as it develops. Having an appealing straight smile can make them confident and proud, encouraging them to take good care of their teeth. Our team will keep an eye on your teen’s dental alignment, and if their teeth need straightening, we will refer them to an orthodontist.
In addition to scheduling regular cleanings, our team educates teens on the best ways to protect their smiles in-between visits. We will cover everything from proper brushing and flossing techniques, good lifestyle habits, and how to promote a healthy diet.
Our practice offers mouthguards to protect your teen’s natural teeth or orthodontic appliances while playing sports.
Early Prevention for Children
Educating children on proper dental hygiene is essential for developing great dental habits as they grow. Our well-trained team uses a kid-friendly language and explains brushing and flossing in a fun way. Below are some of the prevention services we offer for your child:
Children’s Dental Cleanings: We provide your child with gentle cleanings in a fun and compassionate manner. This environment helps eliminate any anxiety.
Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a safe mineral that helps strengthen enamel and prevent decay. We provide this treatment to help protect your child’s teeth against developing cavities.
Dental Sealants: These are body-safe coatings used to protect your teeth. We apply sealants to the back teeth that are more susceptible to decay.
