-
X-rays/radiographs
Dental X-rays or radiographs are images of your teeth that your dentist uses to understand and review your oral health. Using low levels of radiation to capture images of the interior of your teeth and gums, x-rays can help your dentist to identify problems, like cavities, tooth decay, and impacted teeth.
-
Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
This type of cleaning is only given to patients that need more than a simple clean, or if gum disease has already taken hold. It involves special techniques to get rid of plaque, tartar, and bacteria below the gum line down to your tooth roots. This prevents gum disease from advancing and causing tooth loss.

Dental services for kids
Experts recommend taking your child to the dentist within 6 months of the first tooth coming in. Our dentists can use behavioral health techniques and nitrous oxide as needed to make your child’s dental visit go smoothly.

Sealant is a temporary thin coating put on the teeth to help protect from cavities. The coating is safe even if it is swallowed. Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is painted on the teeth with a tiny brush and can heal early tooth
decay. If there are cavities in the mouth, silver fluoride can stop them from growing, and sometimes even heal them.
