Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Sometimes a dental problem can develop quietly in your mouth without you ever realizing it, even if you remain dedicated to a rigorous oral hygiene routine. During your regular visits, we’ll check the teeth, gum tissue, overall bite, and any restorative work (such as a crown) and create a plan to address existing issues quickly. Also, we will thoroughly yet gently clean away any plaque and tartar that you’ve been unable to remove on your own, leaving you with a refreshed smile.
You might not have realized that whenever your dentist checked your mouth for cavities, they were also looking for symptoms that could point to oral cancer. This disease kills roughly one person every hour each day, but patients that are diagnosed quickly tend to have better odds of survival. Dr. Malaviya and Dr. Sardhara have been trained to recognize discolored patches and other warning signs of cancer so that they can help you develop a plan for seeking full diagnosis and treatment.
Fluoride Treatments
If you have a condition that leaves you more vulnerable to cavities than usual – such as dry mouth or gum disease – we can give your smile a little extra protection with a fluoride treatment. The properties of fluoride allow it to remineralize the enamel on your teeth, which is frequently under attack from the acids found in plaque and certain foods. Getting plenty of fluoride will help make the enamel stronger. This makes decay less likely to occur. This treatment is often recommended for children, but patients of all ages can benefit from it.
Is my toothache a dental emergency? While not every toothache is considered a dental emergency, you’ll want to still visit our team just in case. This could sometimes be an indication that something is wrong with your smile. A toothache will qualify as an emergency if you experience the following:
Pain that interrupts your day, lasts for more than 24 hours, or wakes you up at night
You notice sharp discomfort when biting down or widening your mouth
The pained tooth appears darker than your other teeth
You see a small, pimple-like bump on your gums near the affected tooth
You notice signs of infections like swelling, fatigue, and fever
How you should handle a toothache: You should first give us a call so that we understand the situation and can schedule an appointment. Afterward, try flossing around the pained tooth to remove any bothersome debris. Rinse your mouth with saltwater to alleviate inflammation and fight off infection. Place a cold compress on the outside of your mouth to reduce discomfort and swelling. Take over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen. Avoid using aspirin directly on your gums or teeth.
How we treat toothaches: Your treatment will depend on the root cause of your toothache. If it’s due to periodontal infection, then we’ll likely provide gum disease therapy. If your discomfort is due to an infection, then we can perform a root canal to save your tooth. But if it’s beyond repair, then our team may consider extracting it to preserve your oral health. We’ll be sure to assess your situation and determine the best way to relieve your pain and save your smile.
Is a chipped tooth a dental emergency? Most chipped teeth don’t require immediate attention. However, you’ll still want to get it treated as soon as you can since a damaged tooth will be more vulnerable to future injury and infection later on.
How you should handle a chipped tooth: Try rinsing with warm water to clear out any tiny pieces of the tooth from your mouth. This way you can keep the area clean and bacteria-free. Avoid using the chipped tooth for biting or chewing anything. Feel free to cover it up with dental wax or sugarless gum if it feels sensitive.
How we treat chipped teeth: Although a chipped tooth may seem unsettling at first, it’s quite simple to treat. In most cases, we can easily repair and improve your condition with dental bonding. But if a front tooth is chipped and you’re worried about your appearance, you can consider getting veneers for a more comprehensive and longer-lasting solution.
Is a cracked tooth a dental emergency? A cracked tooth is typically considered a dental emergency, as it will be more vulnerable to further damage, bacteria, and infection. However, if the injury is minor, then it may be able to wait a few days to get treated if necessary. That said, remember that very small cracks in your smile can be difficult to notice. If you experience any sensitivity or pain while chewing, especially after taking a blow to the face, then you might have a hidden crack that’ll require treatment.
How you should handle a cracked tooth: Firstly, gently rinse your mouth with water to remove any broken fragments of the tooth, clearing away bacteria in the process. Try covering up your tooth with dental wax or sugar-free gum if it feels sensitive. Keep away from chewing on that side of your mouth until you can see us.
How we treat cracked teeth: If the crack in your tooth is small, then we may be able to simply repair it with dental bonding. For more severe cracks, you may require protecting and strengthening it with a dental crown. In rare cases, a tooth that is beyond repair may need to be extracted and replaced altogether.
