Comprehensive Evaluation / Oral Examination
A comprehensive oral examination is an important part of maintaining your overall dental health. During your visit, our dentist will carefully evaluate your teeth, gums, jaw, head, and neck to check for signs of cavities, gum disease, infection, oral cancer, and other abnormalities. Digital radiographs (x-rays) may also be recommended to provide a more complete view of areas not visible during the clinical exam, helping identify concerns such as tooth decay, bone loss, failing restorations, and other underlying dental conditions early.
Tooth Extractions
A tooth that can not be saved with restorative procedures may need to be removed. Before removal of the tooth, the area will be numbed with anesthesia. The tooth is loosened from the jawbone and surrounding ligaments and tissues with a gentle rocking motion. Once it is loose, it is gently removed. Stitches may be necessary after the removal of a tooth.
Custom Mouth Guards
Many sports require athletes to use a mouth guard to protect their teeth while practicing and playing. Frequently used in contact sports, the mouth guard covers the gums and teeth to provide protection for lips, gums, teeth, and arches. A properly fitted mouth guard can reduce the severity of dental injuries.
Teeth Cleaning
A teeth cleaning or dental cleaning, also known as an oral prophylaxis, is the removal of dental plaque and tartar (calculus) from the teeth. Specialized instruments are used to gently remove these deposits without harming the teeth. First, an ultrasonic device that emits vibrations and is cooled by water is used to loosen larger pieces of tartar. Next, hand tools are used to manually remove smaller deposits and smooth the tooth surfaces. Once all the tooth surfaces have been cleaned of tartar and plaque, the teeth are polished.
Scaling And Root Planing
Dentist in Nashua employ scaling and root planing as a non-surgical approach to address gum disease. Specialized dental instruments are utilized during scaling to eliminate dental plaque and calculus from beneath the gums. Following scaling, planing smoothens the tooth roots, aiding in the healing of gums and their reattachment to a cleaner and smoother root surface.
