Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a natural mineral and when in contact with enamel, it can strengthen the tooth's enamel and protect them from the threat of decay, it’s also added to oral hygiene products like toothpaste. We offer fluoride treatment here at the office in addition to your preventive cleaning.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are clear shields that we can brush over the biting surfaces of molars to protect them from food and bacteria build-up in the deep crevices. We’ll brush the sealants over your teeth and harden them using a UV light. With the proper maintenance, they can continue making brushing your teeth more effective for years to come. Sealants are a great preventive dentistry treatment for adults and children alike.

Do you wake up with a sore jaw or a thumping headache? These are both signs that you grind your teeth throughout the night. This can happen as a result of stress, orthodontic problems, and TMJ dysfunction, but the most imminent threat of bruxism is a broken tooth and enamel wear that results in an infection.
