Teeth Cleanings

Doctor with Patient in Dental Room

Biannual teeth cleanings are the backbone of oral health and the foundation of general dentistry. When you visit your dental hygienist every six months, they will meticulously remove any build-up of plaque and bacteria on your teeth that your toothbrush cannot reach. Teeth will be flossed and polished, leaving your smile bright and shining.

Dental Exams

After every professional teeth-cleaning, a dental exam occurs. During this portion of the visit, your Manhattan Beach dentist will carry out an oral cancer screen, look over any new x-rays, and examine your smile for signs of gum disease, tooth decay, or other infection. Recommendations will be made to address problems or suspicious areas before they become serious dental problems. This is also the time to ask any questions you might have about getting cosmetic dentistry.

Gum Disease Therapy

Your dentist is responsible for your gums and your teeth. When there is any sign of gum disease, it is critical to get gum disease therapy right away to prevent the infection from spreading and leading to tooth loss. If you see your dentist every six months, they will look over your teeth and gums to recognize early signs of the problem and get treatment started right away. Depending on the severity of the infection, gum disease therapy could involve laser dentistry, deep cleaning, surgery, or antibiotics. What’s most important is getting general dental care right away and restoring the foundation of your oral health.

Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies never happen at a good time, but knowing you have a general dentistry practice to rely on can help you feel better about whatever pain or discomfort you’re experiencing. Whether you have a broken tooth, lost dental work, dislodged tooth, severe tooth pain, or otherwise, contact your Manhattan Beach dentist right away to discuss what’s going on and find out if you need to see the dentist immediately.

Cavity Prevention

Some patients are far more prone to tooth decay than others, whether it’s because they have thin tooth enamel, poor oral health habits, or regularly eat sugary and acidic foods that eat away at their teeth. At a general dentistry practice, patients find out which category they fit into and learn the best steps for practicing cavity prevention which saves them from the need for tooth-colored fillings, root canal therapy, and other corrective treatments.

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry options combined with numbing agents help a patient relax and be free from discomfort throughout their dental procedures. With the help of nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation, even the most anxious dental patient can find their way to the dentist and get the important dental care they need.
