Gum Health Assessment
Prior to talking with you, our team will learn about your dental care needs. It is important for us to have a good baseline of information so we can track your successes.
If your gums are healthy, that is where we want you to stay. Once diagnosed with periodontal disease, dealing with its effects in your mouth and teeth will be a continual battle throughout your lifetime. Monitoring will be done with thorough documentation whether you are periodontally healthy or in need of periodontal treatment.
Professional Dental Cleanings in Rehoboth Beach
Teeth cleanings are performed by a registered dental hygienist. In our practice, you will see the same hygienist at each cleaning visit so that you can develop a relationship.
The hygienist will remove plaque (soft deposits), tartar or calculus (hard deposits), and stain from your teeth. They evaluate the gum tissue, including probing pockets and recording their depths for future reference. After the cleaning, the hygienist will polish your teeth to a beautiful shine.
Fluoride Treatment
Professional (in-office) fluoride treatments make teeth stronger and even reverse damage from decay in the outer layers of enamel on the smooth surfaces of the teeth. Additional home fluoride treatments assist in this process. In the lifelong fight against cavities, Drs. Wright, Luckenbaugh, and Townsend believe that both adults and children benefit from in-office treatment and from home fluorides.
The benefits of fluoride include:
- Strengthening teeth
- Remineralizing weakened areas on teeth
- Desensitizing
- Expanding some antimicrobial effects
- Increasing salivary action
- Enhancing the rate of natural remineralization
Personalized Oral Hygiene Plans & Advice
Our dental team works with you through home-care or co-therapy to keep your teeth for your lifetime. It is a commitment from you, the patient, to do your best at home and a commitment from your hygienist to provide the best treatment possible during your hygiene appointments.
Additionally, we will answer all of your questions about your home-care procedures and products. If you have trouble choosing the right toothbrush or flossing effectively, your hygienist can help. Should you develop gum disease, which is extremely common, our hygienist will provide counsel and treatment to control the condition.
