Live Life to the Fullest With a Beautiful Smile

There’s no doubt that a winning smile will improve your quality of life. Surveys find that people highly value a smile as one of a person’s most attractive features and an important social asset. That’s why it’s so important to maintain your smile and not let it fall into disrepair. However, don’t worry if you notice problems with your teeth or gums. Our team can use our skills to make it right again.

Here are a few services that we offer to help keep your smile in the best shape possible:

  • Dental Cleanings and Exams – We’ll use advanced technology like digital and panoramic X-rays, intraoral cameras, and ultrasonic cleaning equipment to check for problems and make your teeth sparkle.
  • Fluoride Treatment – Fluoride isn’t just for kids, as adults can benefit from it as well. Fluoride varnish applied directly to your teeth will help remineralize and strengthen your tooth enamel to lower the risk of cavities developing.
  • Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment – If we find evidence of gum disease, we have several treatment options. Depending on your situation, we may recommend scaling and root planing, laser bacterial reduction, or topical antibiotics.
  • Custom Mouthguards – Professional mouthguards can be used to help prevent teeth grinding while sleeping or to help you avoid dental damage while playing sports. Our mouthguards will perform better and last longer than store-bought mouthguards.
  • Halitosis (Bad Breath) Treatment – Dr. Henry and our team will work to find the cause of your bad breath, so we can recommend the proper treatment. This may include specialty products to help you manage the condition.

Common Questions About General Dentistry

What is general dentistry?

Maintaining a beautiful smile and optimal oral health is the primary goal of general dentistry. We offer several services to achieve this, including dental cleanings and exams, gum disease treatment, preventive treatments like fluoride application and dental sealants, and custom-made mouthguards for athletes or teeth grinders. Regular dental care is crucial in preserving the health and beauty of your smile.

What foods are healthy for my teeth?

Foods that are good for your body also tend to be good for your teeth. This includes fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and calcium-rich foods like cheese. With their high water and fiber content, some fruits and veggies work almost like a toothbrush to clean plaque from teeth. Nuts are a great snack, as they contain minerals that help strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to cavities.

Is chewing gum bad for teeth?

Chewing sugar-free gum can actually be beneficial for your teeth! It stimulates saliva production, which helps wash away food particles and neutralize acids. However, gum with sugar can contribute to tooth decay. Look for gum sweetened with xylitol, a natural sugar substitute that can actually help prevent cavities. As always, moderation is key. So enjoy a piece of sugar-free gum after meals to freshen your breath and promote oral health, but be mindful of excessive chewing that can strain your jaw muscles.
