Treat Your Body to a Healthy Mouth
Through comprehensive dentistry to treat and maintain your oral health, we help keep your whole body healthy. There are many services Dr. Davey and his team provide to do just that. Some of them are:
- Wellness visits, which should be scheduled every six months to keep your oral health at its best. Our dentist will review your medical history and health goals, then we will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums for problems. You will also receive a complete teeth cleaning to get rid of plaque, tartar, and disease-causing bacteria.
- Gum disease testing using the OralDNA system. By determining the type of bacteria in your mouth, we can select the right course of treatment for you. Using a model similar to that of the medical field, we will tailor your therapy to treat the root cause of the problem. Adjusting the number of bad bacteria will help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- Oral cancer screening using the VELscope system. This innovative tool detects early signs of the disease not visible to the naked eye. Early intervention increases your odds for successful treatment.
- Laser cavity detectors to catch more cavities in their early stages and reduce the need for teeth fillings or other types of restorative dentistry.
- Athletic mouthguards and bruxism mouthguards. Your teeth can be injured easily during sports or other athletic activity. A custom-fit athletic mouthguard protects your smile against these mishaps. Bruxism mouthguards prevent teeth grinding while sleeping, which can damage tooth enamel.
- Tooth sealants act like raincoats for your teeth. They form a protective barrier between your teeth and germs that can cause cavities and infection.
- Fluoride treatments and fluoride varnishes help protect your teeth from cavities. Research has shown that fluoride can even reverse tooth decay in its early stages.
- Nutritional counseling helps our patients understand how the foods they eat play a role in not only their oral health, but their bodies as a whole. Dr. Davey loves to get kids started with good nutritional habits.
