Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Our hygienists are adept in the most advanced preventative procedures and techniques, ensuring the longevity of your dental health. Beyond expert guidance on brushing, flossing, and nutritional counseling, they can recommend the most suitable fluoride and remineralizing products for your needs. Expect unparalleled quality and comfort during your routine cleanings. As your Boston dentist, we provide not only non-invasive solutions for restorative care but also preventative programs tailored to meet all your dental health needs.
Fluoride Treatment
Most people get enough fluoride through their diet and from oral hygiene products like toothpaste and mouthwash. However, there are many who could benefit from receiving more of this enamel strengthening mineral. That’s why, during your checkups and cleanings, we can also coat your teeth with a concentrated fluoride paste. This will give you an extra layer of cavity protection that you’ll enjoy all the way until your next routine visit with us.
Oral Cancer Screening
We’ll be on the lookout for more than just cavities and gum disease when you come in for your checkups. If we discover any signs of oral cancer (growths, sores, tissue discoloration) or HPV, we’ll immediately organize for you to receive a diagnosis. By finding and treating any potential oral cancer early, we greatly increase the chance of a fast and full recovery.
Nightguards for Grinding
About one in three people unconsciously grind their teeth at night, which puts them at a very high risk of suffering from cracked teeth and cavities. To help them keep their smiles safe, we can provide a custom-made nightguard. This is a small oral appliance that places a strong but comfortable barrier between the teeth, eliminating grinding throughout the night.
