Regularly Scheduled Cleanings And Exams Are Important To Your Overall Health
Are you aware that your dental and oral wellness is vital to your overall health? Studies have shown that dental neglect can lead to cardiovascular problems and other chronic diseases. Regularly scheduled exams and cleanings can prevent cavities and identify other issues such as gum disease through early detection to avoid further damage. Dr. Mastrud offers comprehensive exams and dental cleanings to help you and your teeth stay healthy.
Fluoride Treatments Available
Fluoride helps your teeth to fight off the acids created by bacterial plaque that can damage and destroy tooth structure. Sometimes the teeth can benefit from addtional fluoride and Dr. Mastrud can provide this to help reinforce the teeth and reduce the likelihood of decay.
Sealant Treatments
Sometimes, due to the difficulty of cleaning the deep grooves on the surface of the teeth, bacteria and food can create decay. By cleaning and sealing the grooves with a plastic coating food and bacteria can be kept from reaching the grooves, preventing the decay. Sealants provide an additional layer of protection, especially when the teeth first erupt.
