Preventive Cleanings in Las Vegas, NV
Why Do I Need Preventive Cleanings?
At Modern Dental Care, preventing things such as cavities, tooth loss and gum disease is crucial. We care deeply about each and every patient’s oral health and use our expertise to provide Preventive Cleanings.
Not only does not taking care of your oral health affect your body, but it can also significantly affect your wallet. When someone doesn’t focus on preventive care, they’ll end up needing restorative care, which is often not covered by insurance.
Here at Modern Dental Care, we encourage all individuals to have at least two dental checkups a year.
Following this recommendation can help your dentist stop dental disease in its earliest stages, protecting your smile and limiting your expense.
Preventive Cleanings Tips
Did you know you can start focusing on oral health care before a child even has teeth? Gently rubbing the gums clean after feeding, as well as in the morning, can keep their mouth in tip-top shape. Once a child has their first tooth, bring them into our office to begin comprehensive oral health care.
No matter your age, you can do plenty of things to help keep your mouth healthy. Here are some of our top picks.
A Proper Oral Health Routine
You can prevent a lot of damage to your mouth simply by practicing your oral health routine from home. This involves brushing and flossing for a minimum of two minutes twice daily. Doing so helps remove plaque from your teeth. When plaque is left on your teeth, it forms tartar and bacteria, which leads to tooth loss and gum disease.
Using Fluoride
Fluoride is a wonderful preventive measure that strengthens your teeth and can prevent decay. You can find many fluoride-based products such as toothpaste, mouth wash, and more at your local grocery store. Here at Modern Dental Care, we offer our patients professional fluoride treatments.
Sealants
Most commonly placed on children, sealants are a thin coating placed on chewing surfaces on your back teeth that aid in the prevention of tooth decay.
Lifestyle Choices
Lastly, staying away from tobacco, an excessive amount of sugary foods or drinks, and taking care of your teeth is your best option to prevent any further issues. Call Modern Dental Care today to learn more about preventive cleanings.
Our Services
Bonding
Bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that helps fill chips, gaps, or fractures and is very different from veneers.
Bridges
Dental bridges are necessary for many patients with missing teeth or gaps in their smile, not just for general appearance. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a poor bite.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental work that improves the overall appearance of your smile. It includes improvement of color, shape, position, etc. of your teeth.
Crowns
Dental crowns restore shape, strengthen function and improve the general appearance of teeth. Crowns encase the damaged tooth’s outer surface, securely cementing the tooth’s surface long-term.
Emergency Dentistry
Most dental emergencies, including obvious damage to a tooth, should always be treated as soon as possible. Click here or call our office to be directed to our emergency on call staff.
Dental Hygiene
Regular cleanings every six months, along with proper brushing and flossing, significantly reduce the chance of plaque and tartar build-up, therefore reducing the chance of more serious dental concerns in the future.
Extractions
Do you have a broken tooth that is causing ongoing discomfort and pain? You’ll likely require a dental extraction if the dentist deems your tooth to be beyond restoration.
Fillings
Cavities or “dental caries”, are small holes that develop in teeth as a result of tooth decay. Since cavities result in permanent damage to the surface of your teeth, they require restoration through fillings.
