We're dedicated to being proactive with your dental health at Natural State Dental in Springdale, AR. Think of preventative dentistry as your best friend for maintaining your best oral health and stopping dental problems before they even start. We're here to keep your smile bright, healthy, and strong with regular dental check-ups and help you nail those good oral hygiene habits.
What is Preventative Dentistry?
Preventative dentistry is all about keeping your smile healthy! It includes everything from regular dental check-ups and cleanings to building good habits like brushing and flossing daily. The aim is to keep cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and other issues at bay so your teeth stay in their best condition for years ahead.
Cleaning & Hygiene
Regular dental cleanings and hygiene appointments are the first line of defense against oral health issues. These sessions allow us to thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that can lead to cavities and gum disease. Our hygiene services also include personalized advice on how to improve your at-home oral care routine.
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays play a key role in keeping your smile healthy. They give us a detailed peek into your oral health that we can't see with our eyes alone. This advanced technology lets Dr. Brumley detect issues early on, like hidden decay, impacted teeth, or bone loss. This means we can get you the right treatment quickly and keep your smile shining bright!
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatments boost tooth enamel, making it tougher against decay. This quick and easy procedure can really cut down your chances of getting cavities, especially if you often deal with them. It's a key part of keeping your teeth healthy and happy!
Periodontal Care
Gum health is just as important as tooth health. Our periodontal care services focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease. By keeping your gums healthy, we can protect your teeth's foundation and prevent conditions that lead to tooth loss.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection is also key in the fight against oral cancer. During your regular check-up, Dr. Brumley will conduct a thorough oral cancer screening, looking for any signs of abnormal tissue. These screenings are vital for catching any potential issues at their earliest, most treatable stage.
Night Guards
A custom-fitted night guard can be a game-changer for our patients who grind their teeth at night. Night guards protect your teeth from the wear and tear of grinding (bruxism), preventing fractures, chips, and excessive wear.
Sport Guards
Athletes and active patients shouldn't overlook the importance of protecting their teeth during physical activity. Custom sport guards offer superior protection compared to over-the-counter options, safeguarding your smile against impact injuries.
Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea can significantly impact your overall health, including your oral health. Dr. Brumley offers solutions for managing sleep apnea, improving your sleep quality, and protecting your teeth from the effects of this condition.
TMJ / Bruxism
TMJ disorders and bruxism (teeth grinding) can cause pain, discomfort, and tooth damage. Our team at Natural State Dental provides effective treatments to alleviate these symptoms, protect your jaw joints, and prevent further dental damage.
