Why Are Teeth Cleanings Important?
Because we focus on overall health and wellbeing, we recommend scheduling a visit with our skilled dentists and hygienists every six months for checkups and cleanings.
Having a professional dental cleaning is the only way to eliminate tartar, a calcium deposit that forms on teeth and contributes to decay. These visits, combined with your home hygiene routine, are the best way to prevent decay and other oral health issues.
These regular visits are also an essential element of our preventative dentistry program. In addition to your cleanings, we’re able to assess the overall condition of your dental health and identify problems in their early stages when they’re easiest to address.
Has it been more than six months since your last cleaning? Don’t wait any longer! Call Future Of Dentistry in Chelmsford (978-970-2089), also serving Lowell, to schedule your cleaning appointment now!
Oral Cancer Screening
As with other health issues, early detection of oral cancer is key to obtaining good treatment outcomes. That’s why Future of Dentistry in Chelmsford offers oral cancer screenings as part of every exam.
The VELscope Oral Assessment System
In addition to a visual screening, we use the VELscope system, which allows us to find abnormalities that might otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. This exam is painless and straightforward, taking less than one minute.
Saliva Testing
In order to diagnose periodontal disease and some HPV-related oral cancers, we use saliva testing as part of the screening process.
Prevention of Oral Health Issues
Preventing oral health issues before they develop or worsen is vital for maintaining a healthy, confident smile. Early intervention and regular dental checkups can save you from future discomfort and complex treatments.
Cavity Prevention: An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure. You can prevent tooth decay with daily brushing and flossing at home and regular checkups with us. Our focus on preventative dentistry means we’d rather treat cavities by preventing them from developing in the first place. In addition to maintaining good oral hygiene, the CDC recommends dental sealants as a way to prevent childhood cavities. This non-invasive process protects teeth from bacteria and acids that destroy enamel and result in tooth decay.
Tooth Extractions: While maintaining your natural teeth is always our first choice, sometimes a tooth extraction is the best way to prevent a damaged tooth from causing further harm or spreading infection. A problem tooth can create trouble for the whole mouth. From spreading decay and infection to causing discomfort and pain, sometimes a tooth extraction is the right choice for immediate relief.
Root Canals: A root canal sounds scarier than it is! The procedure is simple and a routine part of our general dentistry practice. The root canal procedure clears away decay, bacteria, or infection from the inside of the tooth — protecting the root. Once clean, a sealant is applied to prevent further damage or decay. Finally, a porcelain crown may be used to protect the remaining tooth structure and restore function.
Mouth Guards: Most sports come with equipment made to keep you safe. From helmets to knee pads, the most vulnerable parts of the body are offered protection. But some sports come with less obvious risks, too. Not only can teeth be damaged, but some sports come with the risk of concussions and brain injuries. Just as important as a helmet, a custom-made mouthguard can help reduce the risk of these injuries.
