Every dentist in the country recommends that you visit the dentist twice per year. The reason for this recommendation, is that regular visits can stop tooth decay from progressing. Even if you brush and floss perfectly, it doesn’t hurt to see a dentist. During a professional cleaning they can remove tartar and plaque that has built up and help protect your teeth. Dental sealants and fluoride treatments can make your teeth more resilient to dental decay. And dental X-rays can help dentists see if there are any issues with your teeth below the gums.
We provide a variety of helpful procedures that can improve your oral health. These procedures include:
Dental Fillings: A dental filling is an effective way to handle a cavity. The decayed section of the tooth is drilled away and a filling is placed in the remaining hole or crater.
Dental Bridges: A dental bridge is a common procedure when an adult tooth is knocked out. Not only does this have the aesthetic benefit of completing your smile, it can also prevent your teeth from shifting.
Dental Crowns: A dental crown is a synthetic cap that is placed on a tooth. They are often used after root canals or when dental bridges are installed. If your crown cracks or breaks, we can replace it for you.
Dental Veneers: A dental veneer is a thin tooth colored shell that can be placed on the front surface of a tooth to improve its appearance and are often used to help with teeth that are cracked, discolored, or chipped tooth.
In many cases a tooth may need to be extracted. For children teeth may need to be extracted if there is an issue with the primary (baby) teeth falling out naturally over time. Additionally, if a tooth is severely decayed, it may need to be removed to prevent infection spreading to other teeth. Generally, dentists will consider every option before choosing tooth removal.
Gum disease can either be categorized as gingivitis or periodontitis depending on the severity — but both need to be addressed as soon as possible by your dentist. Gum disease treatments including non-surgical procedures like scaling and root planing which is a procedure that involves removing plaque and tartar near the gums to prevent further infection.
When an infection spreads to the roots of a tooth the tooth may need to be treated with a root canal. We offer elective root canal procedures at our office in Revere. During a root canal, the diseased part of the root is removed and replaced with a filling similar to a cavity filling.
Each dental exam will asses your oral health and provide you with a thorough cleaning for an even better smile!
