General Dentistry Services
The old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure was probably never more applicable than it is with general dentistry. As a general dentist, Dr. Carmen can, of course, treat any dental or oral health problems that may arise. More importantly, however, he works to prevent those problems from ever happening. For example, everyone over the age of three should have a professional teeth cleaning at least twice per year. At these appointments, our gentle hygienists will not only clean and polish your teeth, they’ll carefully examine your gums for any signs of periodontal disease. If necessary, x-rays of your teeth will be taken to see any tooth decay that is invisible to the naked eye.
Beyond this basic general dentistry service, our office also provides periodontal (gum disease) therapy, athletic mouthguards, snore guards for sleep apnea and TMJ therapy. If we do find signs of gum disease at a check-up, then there are methods of treatment we can use in-office to improve the condition of your gums, teeth and supporting bone tissue. Athletic mouthguards are a must if you or anyone in your family participates in sports. A mouthguard fits over your teeth and helps protect your smile as well as your lips, tongue, face and jaw.
A snore guard is a custom oral appliance that keeps airways open to eliminate lapses in breathing due to sleep apnea and stop snoring. Likewise, Dr. Carmen can treat TMJ dysfunction with a custom fitted oral appliance that will alleviate the painful symptoms associated with TMJ.
