General Dentistry
Everyone knows you should visit your dentist at least once every six months, but do you know why? Your oral health isn’t something you can completely take care of at home. There are situations, conditions and just everyday matters that can’t be handled with just brushing, flossing and rinsing at home. No matter how great you are at brushing after each meal, flossing, using a fluoride mouthwash, you still need general dentistry services in Bay Springs, MS to complete your oral health needs.
Routine Dental Exams
As mentioned, these should take place at least twice a year. If you have underlying health conditions, or if you’ve largely avoided dentists your adult life, you may need to visit the dentist more often. Ironically, the more you visit your dentist, the less you’ll need serious dental treatments. But the peace of mind of getting a “clean” oral health exam is totally worth all the deep sleep you’ll get, especially as compared to the sleepless nights you’ll experience worried that your teeth are going to wind up on the pillow because you avoid the dentist.
Professional Teeth Cleanings
Ever wonder why some people’s teeth are yellow? It doesn’t mean they’ve never touched a toothbrush. It might mean they avoid the dentist’s chair. Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleanings remove these deposits, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Fillings and Restorative Treatments
If cavities or damage are found during an exam, restorative treatments such as fillings can repair your teeth and restore their function. We use durable, tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both strength and a natural appearance.
Extractions
When a tooth is severely damaged or poses a risk to neighboring teeth, extraction may be necessary. We always prefer saving the natural tooth, and we have a lot of ways we can make that happen, but not always, in which case tooth extraction may be necessary.
Gum Disease Treatment
If you’re experiencing redness, swelling, or bleeding gums, our gum disease treatments can help. From deep cleanings to advanced periodontal care, we’ll work to restore your gum health and protect your teeth from further complications.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are next level when it comes to digital imaging. We’ve invested a lot into advanced technology to improve treatment and keep our patients safe from radiation as much as possible. X-rays are an important diagnostic tool that we use on a regular basis to provide the best care for our patients.
