Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Biannual dental checkups and cleanings are essential to maintain good oral health in the long run. Even if you are diligent about at-home brushing and flossing, your dentist needs to examine your smile to ensure there are no cavities, decay, infection, disease, or damage. At West Maitland Dentistry, we emphasize prevention and education, so these visits allow us not only to check for early problems but also to explain the importance of practicing good dental care year-round.
Gum Disease Treatment
With gum disease treatment in Maitland, we can eliminate infection deep within the tissues, leaving you with a healthier smile. Our dental team uses scaling and root planing, along with antibiotic treatment, to address harmful bacteria that attack the soft oral tissues surrounding your teeth. Over time, these solutions reduce the risk of future infection, significantly lowering the chances of bone and tooth loss.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Our team can provide you with a customized nightguard to combat the damaging effects of bruxism, so you wake up to a pain- and damage-free smile. This cushioned device prevents teeth grinding and clenching throughout the night, helping reduce enamel erosion, stop dental damage, and alleviate jaw pain. Instead of worrying about the fragility of your teeth and possible injury, you can rest easier knowing your smile is properly protected.
Silver Diamine Fluoride Treatment
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment is a preventive measure that stops the progression of decay and reduces the possibility of future cavities. It is primarily used on younger smiles that are at high risk of dental caries. We will apply the liquid solution to the affected area, allowing the medication to quickly kill existing decay while the fluoride strengthens and encourages remineralization of the enamel.
Curodont Early Cavity Repair
Curodont Early Cavity Repair uses your own saliva to restore the enamel quickly and painlessly, leaving you with a healthier smile. Using our 3D scanner for early cavity detection, we can apply Curodont, a liquid solution, to the problem area to encourage enamel remineralization and help repair the tooth. Not only will you maintain more of your natural tooth structure, but you’ll also appreciate Curodont’s ability to keep you from needing a tooth-colored filling in certain situations!
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are life-saving, preventive services designed to detect abnormalities in their earliest stages. With nearly 50,000 people being diagnosed each year, oral cancer remains a serious problem, but your dentist can catch it before it’s too late. Dr. Dhaliwal will visually examine your mouth, throat, and neck for any lesions or discolored patches of tissue. If we discover anything concerning, we will ensure you get the proper care you need.
Children’s Dentistry
Dr. Dhaliwal is pleased to provide children’s dentistry services. We will closely monitor the growth of your child’s smile and provide preventive and restorative treatment options to minimize the risk of cavities, tooth decay, gum disease, and more. Some of the services we offer to children include dental checkups and cleanings, silver diamine fluoride (SDF), dental sealants, custom sportsguards, and pulp treatment. These ensure your child receives the care and attention their smile needs as they progress through adolescence and into adulthood.
