PREVENTATIVE TREATMENTS
We are strong advocates of sealants as preventive modes of the tooth decay. Sealants are bonded into the naturally developed deep grooves (pits and fissures) of “baby” and adult teeth.
NIGHT GUARDS
Many people have a tendency to clench and grind their teeth excessively while they are sleeping, and most are completely unaware of it. A dentist, however, will see evidence of the damaging effects of this tendency during routine examinations, which can include a broken tooth or worn facets on teeth as well as periodontal disease and tooth sensitivity.
To help protect teeth from the effects of night time teeth grinding (nocturnal bruxism), we can provide patients with a custom fitted acrylic night guard. Night guards are a convenient and comfortable method of greatly reducing the damage caused by grinding. You will sleep much more peacefully.
