Oral Exams & New Patient Exams
We offer comprehensive dental care for the whole family, including general dentistry procedures and routine exams to maintain your oral health. Regular oral exams are crucial for ensuring good dental health and identifying issues early on.
Dental Hygiene Appointments
Proper dental hygiene involves more than brushing and flossing your teeth at home. Food particles become trapped between the teeth and gums, forming plaque which hardens over time. This hard substance, known as tartar, can harm the teeth and gums, and while flossing can help to remove plaque, professional cleaning is necessary to remove stubborn tartar.
Root Canals
The dental pulp found inside the tooth is made up of nerves and blood vessels. If a cavity forms on the tooth’s surface, the pulp can become exposed to bacteria that lead to a tooth infection. One way to treat an infected tooth is through a dental procedure known as a root canal.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a highly effective preventative measure against decay, particularly for teeth with reduced enamel. The sealants are applied directly to the chewing surfaces of teeth to protect them from bacteria and decay. Sealants are recommended for children to protect their adult teeth but are also commonly used by adults.
Teeth Extractions
When a tooth has decayed significantly and cannot be saved, a tooth extraction may be necessary. In the case of wisdom tooth removal, this procedure is common when newly erupted teeth are poorly formed or cause crowding in the mouth.
Dental X-Rays
At First Street Dental, we use digital X-rays during routine appointments to examine all areas of the teeth that are not accessible during a visual exam. These X-rays can help to assess decay or infections that may be present within the tooth so that we can treat the issue in the early stages.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting is a dental procedure that replaces lost gum tissue due to gum recession, thinning, and disease. It can prevent tooth loss and alleviate pain and sensitivity. If you are experiencing problems with gum recession, talk to our dentist today.
Oral Cancer Screening
Regular oral cancer screenings are crucial for early detection and effective treatment. As part of your yearly comprehensive oral exam, your dentist will examine your mouth tissue, face, neck, and jaw for any irregularities, such as lumps or discolouration. If you notice any abnormalities, it is essential that you book an appointment to see your dentist.
