Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
If you’re like most people, then between work, family and other priorities, your schedule stays full. Unfortunately, this can sometimes cause important events like visiting your dentist for preventive care to be tossed on the backburner. At Lighthouse Dental, we know how hard it can be to manage the many responsibilities that life throws at you. That’s why we provide our patients with swift, yet impactful, semi-annual dental visits. To schedule a checkup, contact us today!
Nightguards for Bruxism
If you’ve noticed that your teeth look worn-down and flat, you’ve been experiencing some dental sensitivity, or you wake up with tense jaw joints, you may have a condition known as bruxism, or the nightly grinding and clenching of your teeth. Not only can this put you at an incredibly high risk for breaking or chipping a tooth, but it could also wear down your enamel, leaving your teeth with virtually no protection from harmful oral bacteria. We custom-crafts acrylic nightguards that you can wear as you sleep for protection. That way, you don’t wake up with a dental emergency on your hands!
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that’s produced by rocks and can be found in fresh fruits and vegetables as well as the air. Many cities and towns also add it to their local water sources as a means to fight off one of the most common oral health problems in the country, cavities. If you aren’t receiving enough fluoride in your daily diet, we can offer a fluoride treatment to help strengthen your enamel and prevent decay.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is a disease that results in thousands of deaths every year. We aim to protect his patient’s health and wellbeing by conducting bi-annual oral cancer screenings at each checkup and cleaning in search of the early signs of this disease. This way, his patients who suffer from oral cancer will have a higher likelihood of being able to successfully treat it. If our team finds any symptoms during your screening, we’ll refer you for additional testing so you can get the lifesaving care you need.
Dental Ozone
Dental ozone is an incredible preventive treatment, allowing our team at Lighthouse Dental to eliminate dangerous bacteria, fungi, and viruses from the mouth. It also promotes healing and can aid with tooth remineralization. There are several treatments and procedures where this service can play a helpful role in improving results, including periodontal therapy, root canal therapy, sensitivity reduction, post-operative care, teeth whitening, and more.
