Dental Checkups & Cleanings
The American Dental Association, as well as our team, recommends visiting the dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning. These visits allow us to spot the early signs of dental issues and treat them before they have a chance to progress, as well as keep harmful plaque and tartar from building up along your gumline. With regular exams and cleanings, we aim to prevent tooth loss and keep your oral health on the right track.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States. The inflammation that results from periodontal disease (a more advanced form of gum disease) causes inflammation also shown to increase the risk for heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and several other systemic diseases. That's why we aim to diagnose and treat it as early as possible. We offer scaling and root planing, more commonly known as deep cleanings, as well as antibiotic treatment to help minimize the prevalence of infection-causing oral bacteria.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Do you wake up with a sore jaw? Have you noticed that your molars look worn down or flat? These are two common signs that you could be grinding your teeth at night, which can also be referred to as bruxism. On top of harming your teeth, bruxism can also lead to severe headaches and migraines. Dr. Mazhari offers customized nightguards that are designed to cushion your two rows of teeth from each other, preventing them from making contact as well as minimizing your chances of consequential issues like TMJ disorder and jaw pain.
Oral Cancer Screenings
At each of your checkups, our team will conduct a thorough oral cancer screening. This only adds a couple of minutes onto your visit, but for some, it can be lifesaving. Oral cancer is relatively easy to treat when it’s spotted before it has progressed to other areas of the body, which is why we conduct a screening every six months, examining your throat, tongue, and oral tissues for any abnormalities.
