Oral Health Assessment and preventive treatments
Assessment & oral Cancer Screening
At the start of every appointment, a comprehensive assessment is performed, including:
Oral cancer screening to detect any early signs of abnormalities.
Oral hygiene evaluation to assess overall cleanliness and health.
Cavity risk assessment to identify potential concerns.
Additionally, periodontal measurements are conducted annually or bi-annually to monitor gum
health. Intra-oral images and X-rays are taken as needed for a thorough evaluation.
Adult & Child Prophylaxis (Teeth Cleaning)
While daily brushing and flossing are essential, they may not be enough to remove plaque and tartar buildup above the gum line. Dental prophylaxis is a preventive cleaning procedure that helps eliminate these deposits, reducing the risk of oral health complications.
However, this procedure is not recommended for patients with significant subgingival deposits,
bleeding gums, or periodontal pockets over 4mm. If you are a suitable candidate for dental prophylaxis, we recommend scheduling a routine cleaning every six months to maintain
optimal oral health.
Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line, specifically in periodontal pockets of 5mm or deeper. This treatment is crucial in preventing the progression of periodontal disease and reducing the
risk of tooth loss.
While periodontal disease has no cure, scaling and root planing, combined with regular periodontal maintenance, can help manage the condition and support long-term oral health.
Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance is an essential follow-up treatment for individuals who have undergone periodontal therapy, such as scaling and root planing (surgical or non-surgical). Since the bacteria responsible for periodontal disease tend to repopulate every 90 days, more frequent cleanings are necessary to prevent further disease progression and tissue damage.
To effectively manage periodontal health and target problem areas, periodontal maintenance
is recommended every three to four months.
Fluoride Application
Topical fluoride is a preventive treatment applied to the teeth to strengthen enamel, prevent cavities, and reduce tooth sensitivity. It works by remineralizing enamel and inhibiting bacterial metabolism, slowing the growth of plaque-causing bacteria.
This treatment is especially beneficial for individuals at high risk for cavities, tooth sensitivity,
or gum recession and is recommended as part of a comprehensive oral health routine.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) Treatment
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a noninvasive, painless treatment used to halt tooth decay and reduce tooth sensitivity. It is an excellent option for managing small cavities and can be especially beneficial for individuals with limited access to care or other barriers to traditional treatment.
SDF provides an effective, quick, and affordable alternative to help prevent the progression of decay while preserving tooth structure.

promoting long-term oral health.
