With average life spans on the increase and people remaining dynamic and involved well into their 80’s, preventive care is more important then ever before. By investing in your self-care today and
continuing to take adequate care of your teeth and gums each year, you can help to ensure long-term dental health.
Consider the importance of preventive care. Here are just a few of the Preventive services we offer:
- Diagnodent Laser
- Sealants
- Fluoride Treatments
- Periodontal Therapy
Diagnodent-
The Diagnodent uses a small laser to help Drs. Hamilton and Prochaska diagnose decay sooner than ever before! Traditional diagnosis required the dentist apply pressure and to probe the tooth surface to determine if decay existed. This could cause discomfort and often patient uneasiness during the examination. Now, the completely non-invasive laser tip allows us to read a digital readout that provides us with the amount of decay present. Early detection means that in many cases we can resolve the decay without the use of anesthesia or conventional drilling.
Sealant-
Sealants are easy to apply and simple to care for. People of every age can benefit from the protective shields of plastic sealants. They are more advantageous and cost-effective alternatives for preventative measures when compared to the price of fillings and root canals. These simple procedures can spare you hundreds of dollars while
protecting your smile for years to come.
Fluoride treatment-
Fluoride treatments make teeth inherently stronger. Even small amounts of fluoride have been found to increase the relative strength of teeth in clinical tests. Tooth enamel does not regenerate so fluoride is beneficial because it actually repairs and re-mineralizes damage to the surface of teeth caused by acids and bacteria. Fluoride is nature's cavity
fighter!
Periodontal Treatment-
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection in your gums that can affect both your dental and overall health. Did you know that there is a connection between heart disease and gum disease? Studies at the University of Minnesota have shown that having a chronic infection in your mouth can make you 4 times more susceptible to heart disease. Periodontics is a specialty in dentistry involving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the surrounding tissues of the teeth and the maintenance of the health, function and aesthetics of these structures. At Cannon Falls Dental we check periodontal pocketing around each tooth and use modern technology, to help in the diagnosis of gum disease.
Contact Drs. Hamilton and Prochaska for a personalized consultation as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your mouth, smile, and health.
