Regular teeth cleanings are a vital part of our overall health. At Pearly Whites Plus we help you maintain healthy teeth and gums to prevent periodontal (gum) disease. For patients that have developed this disease, we provide treatment and expert advice to prevent the progression. If a referral to a Periodontist is required, we will send all of the necessary documents and supporting evidence to a local periodontist who is available to see you.
Many patients that need chemo or radiation therapy, or who take certain types of medication, can face saliva reduction, which contributes to higher acidity and bacteria levels, and can increase your chances of tooth decay. For these patients, we recommended fluoride trays. Our dental hygiene clinic fabricates custom trays and provides you with fluoride gel to help prevent the adverse affects of dry mouth.
An oral cancer screening is a routine examination that is done at each dental hygiene visit. We educate our patients about the importance of following up with a dentist and medical doctor for any visual lesions, lumps, or bumps that may be observed during the screening.
The first step in screening for oral cancer is the completion of the patient’s history, which includes a review of:
Extraoral examination:
Intraoral examination:
DEXIS CariVu is the newest form in digital imaging. It provides patients with a safe and complete oral impression without the use of radiation. The use of DEXIS CariVu is also non-invasive and quite simple. The technology allows our patients to be in-and-out of the office in a few short minutes. This piece of equipment is environmentally friendly too, meaning no more films, chemicals, or disposals of molds. We receive instant digital images of your full mouth which helps speed along your treatment plans. Experience the joys of living in the digital age.
