Routine dental exams are essential for early detection of concerns such as cavities, gum inflammation, or early signs of oral disease. When Dr. Paul Hansen, DMD evaluates your smile, he checks the teeth, gums, and soft tissues, ensuring that every aspect of your oral health is functioning properly. Regular exams help patients stay ahead of potential problems and maintain a healthy, confident smile.
Oral cancer screening is a process performed by dentists to detect any precancerous conditions or symptoms of cancer in the mouth. The primary goal of an oral cancer screening is to detect mouth cancer as soon as possible, when there are better possibilities of curing it. The screening is usually done during your routine dental checkup.
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing cannot fully eliminate. During each cleaning, your hygienist will gently polish your teeth, clear away buildup, and also help patients understand how to maintain great hygiene habits at home. Cleanings also allow our dental team to monitor changes in your oral health, making them an important part of long-term prevention.
Nighttime teeth grinding places constant pressure on your teeth, which can lead to chips, cracks, and worn enamel. This damage can occur without warning because the grinding happens involuntarily as you sleep. Bruxism can be especially harmful if you have recently completed a dental restoration, as excessive pressure may interrupt healing. A custom night mouthguard cushions the teeth, helping prevent further wear so your smile stays healthy and strong.
Athletes of all ages should protect their teeth, gums, and jaw while participating in sports. A sports mouthguard is a flexible, protective appliance worn over the teeth to prevent injuries during physical activities. These mouthguards, typically made from rubber-like materials, shield the teeth and surrounding oral structures from damage.
