Advanced Preventive Care (Cleanings)
Regular visits to the dentist are integral to dental health success. Our dental hygienists help our patients maintain oral health throughout their lives. With advanced techniques and consistent care, we are able to achieve greater levels of dental health and significantly improve comfort during treatment and most importantly between dental visits.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
The increased risk of stroke, heart attack and low-birth weight has been linked to periodontal/gum disease. Our dental team is intensely focused on controlling this aggressive disease, which is also the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
If you are experiencing bleeding gums, you are seeing the early signs of its aggressiveness. Loose teeth and severe tooth discoloration display its advanced progression. Jawbone deterioration is closely aligned with this signpost. By this point, gum disease is vigorously “filtering into” the entire blood system with potentially life-threatening results.
At almost any point in the disease progression our dentists and hygienists can arrest it and rejuvenate your smile. However, the earlier we start a dental treatment plan, the more of the natural smile we can save. Call 202.785.0555
Tooth-Saving Endodontic Therapy
Nerve damaged teeth are an all too common occurrence. Deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, and blunt force trauma (even a very old injury) are some of the causes. By saving the tooth through endodontic treatment, we can also protect the bone, which supports the tooth root.
Besides saving your tooth, our dentists can prevent and remove pain. Plus our dentists provide restorative services that last longer and are minimally invasive, which alleviates the most damaging effects of “repeated” procedures.
Symptoms and Evidence of Potential Root Damage
- Cracked, broken or chipped teeth
- A discolored tooth, which is often darker than surrounding teeth
- Pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected
Oral Cancer Screenings
The devastating consequences of oral cancer can be prevented if caught early enough. Each hour in the U.S. one person will die from this form of cancer (8,000 per year) more than from melanoma or cervical cancer. By visiting our dentists on a regular basis, they can robustly improve those solemn statistics.
Cancerous and precancerous white or red spots or sores can look like harmless ones also found in the mouth. Some of these seemingly harmless "spots" can be very serious. Visit us for an oral cancer screening to make sure there is no disease present. Smoking and/or consuming large quantities of alcohol increase the risk of oral cancer. On the other hand many who get oral cancer have had no obvious risk factors.
