Preventive Dentistry
Your oral health goes beyond your smile.
In reality, the condition of your mouth can affect the rest of your body and if you’re not careful can lead to heart disease, respiratory issues, or lung infection.
Take charge of your oral hygiene and allow our Jackson, MI, dentists to keep tabs on how your teeth, gums, and jaws are doing.
Dental Exams & Cleanings
Practicing oral care at home is important but unfortunately, it can’t get the job done alone. For adequate removal of plaque and tartar, our dentists recommend teeth cleanings every 6 months. This widely accepted standard not only allows for cleaner teeth, but also provides an opportunity for any arising issues to be caught early.
Oral Cancer Screenings
It is estimated that around 50,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with oral cancer each year. One way to stay ahead of the curve and possibly avoid a severe case is to receive an oral cancer screening from our dentists. During this exam, we will both visually and physically check for abnormal lumps, bumps, and lesions in the mouth and surrounding areas.
Dental Sealants
Effectively seal out food particles and decay with the application of dental sealants. Painted or brushed onto the chewing surface of back molars, sealants are thin, plastic coatings that work to prevent cavities. Children, teens, and adults can benefit from having these clear barriers on their teeth as they have the potential to last years.
Sedation Dentistry
Above all else, we want our patients to feel calm and relaxed in the dental chair. If you suffer from dental anxiety or simply have trouble sitting still for longer periods of time, our dentists can administer oral-conscious pill sedation. This involves the prescription of anti-anxiety medication prior to a procedure to allow for an optimal experience once you arrive at our office.
