Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Dental checkups and cleanings are by far the best way to ensure that your teeth and gums are in great shape; even if you’re diligent about at-home daily hygiene! These visits allow our team to take a closer look at your mouth’s anatomy and make sure there aren’t any hidden concerns. It also gives us plenty of time to remove the plaque and tartar that your toothbrush alone cannot clear away. We also perform oral cancer screenings with every checkup. All of this said, you can expect your first preventive visit here at Ponte Vedra Family Dentistry to take about two hours—we leave no stone unturned when it comes to preserving your oral health and appearance.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral often found in local water supplies as well as several types of oral hygiene products due to its impressive oral health benefits. It has the unique ability to assist our enamel, or the outermost layer of our teeth, by strengthening and remineralizing it. This helps to fortify it from harmful, cavity-causing bacteria! Following a routine dental checkup, we can apply a fluoride treatment to your teeth.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Bruxism is a condition that causes patients to grind or clench their teeth together, and it often happens subconsciously during the nighttime. This means that it often remains undiagnosed for quite some time – and unfortunately, it has the potential to harm your teeth and temporomandibular joints, which connect your jaw to the rest of your skull. This is where nightguards come into play; we can provide you with a custom oral appliance that acts as a protective shield between your teeth, preventing them from coming into contact with each other while you sleep.
