Bi-annual cleanings and exams are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. During your appointment, your hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar, followed by polishing and flossing to ensure your smile is fresh and clean.
Dr. Enzweiler will then perform a comprehensive examination, which may include x-rays to detect any underlying concerns. She will review her findings with you, and if any issues are identified, she will discuss the appropriate follow-up treatment. Otherwise, you’ll simply schedule your next six-month cleaning and exam to keep your oral health on track.
More than half of all Americans are affected by gum disease. In its first stage, known as gingivitis, this disease is reversible and doesn’t cause permanent damage. But if it’s left untreated, it will continue to progress and worsen, and can eventually cause oral infections, premature tooth loss, and other major health issues. If you have gum disease, Dr. Enzweiler can help with periodontal care treatments.
Fluoride treatments can be done as part of any six-month oral exam and teeth cleaning at our office. Dr. Enzweiler will paint a coating of fluoride-rich gel or paste to the teeth, and leave it in place for a few minutes. The high level of fluoride helps attract minerals like calcium to your teeth, remineralizing, and strengthening them.
Dental sealants use a clear plastic resin that is applied to your teeth as a liquid, which is then hardened using a special UV light. Once hardened, the resin forms a strong, durable, and transparent barrier that coats the chewing surfaces of your teeth, especially the molars. This protective shield prevents bacteria, acids, and food particles from coming into direct contact with your teeth, significantly reducing the risk of cavities and decay. Sealants are particularly beneficial for children and adults with deep grooves in their teeth, where cavities are more likely to develop. It’s a quick, painless, and effective way to safeguard cavity-prone teeth, promoting long-term oral health.
During an oral cancer screening, Dr. Enzweiler will carefully examine your mouth, including your gums, tongue, and throat, for any unusual signs or abnormalities. This simple, painless process is done during your routine dental visit and takes just a few minutes. If anything unusual is found, Dr. Enzweiler will discuss the next steps with you. Regular screenings are an important part of maintaining your overall health.
