Nightguards
for Bruxism
If you happen to wake up with jaw pain every morning or you’re noticing increased teeth sensitivity, it could be due to an untreated grinding and clenching habit. This condition, known as bruxism, can wear down enamel quickly, cause chronic discomfort, and even lead to issues with the jaw joints. At our dental office, we can design a personalized nightguard that provides cushion for your teeth. This effectively prevents further enamel erosion and protects your smile moving forward.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is diagnosed in roughly 50,000 Americans every year, which is why it’s more important than ever to maintain routine screenings at our dental office. Dr. Butler performs a visual and manual exam for oral cancer, looking for sores and red or white patches of skin in the mouth. These screenings help us catch the signs of oral cancer as early as possible, ensuring that you can receive additional treatment before it can reach the later stages of development.
Fluoride
Treatments
Fluoride is found in the oral care products we recommend, most public drinking water sources, and the foods we eat. Additionally, you can find it in the treatments we prescribe patients following their detailed cleaning at our dental office. In a matter of minutes, we can apply fluoride supplements to tooth enamel and ensure long-term protection up until your next appointment. It’s the perfect way to offer protection from decay and make enamel stronger against plaque and tartar.
