Dental Hygienist Treatments – Essential for Every Age
Preventive dental care is key to maintaining healthy teeth and gums at any age. As we grow older, regular cleanings become even more important. A dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. Our patients schedule hygienist visits every six months to keep their oral health in top condition and ensure long-term preservation.
Fillings and root canal treatments
Most people will need a dental filling at some point due to tooth decay or cavities. The procedure involves removing infected tissue and filling the space with a restorative material. Even with a simple filling, choosing the right dentist is crucial, as the selection of the appropriate material depends on various factors, including the tooth’s condition and type. Root canal treatments are performed to save a tooth from extraction when decay has progressed deeper into the pulp (nerve center). Untreated cavities can spread, causing pressure and severe pain.
Treatment includes the following:
-
Removing the infected tissue from the root canals
-
Disinfecting and cleaning the area
-
Sealing the canals to prevent future bacterial growth
Root canal therapy preserves natural teeth, prevents complications, and restores oral health.
