Regular Exams and Cleanings in Warminster, PA

Regular exams are an important part of maintaining your oral health. During your regular exam, we will:

 

• Check for any problems that may not be seen or felt
• Look for cavities or any other signs of tooth decay
• Inspect the teeth and gums for gingivitis and signs of periodontal disease
• Perform a thorough teeth cleaning

Your oral exam will take about 45 minutes. Each regular exam includes a detailed teeth cleaning, in which we will clean, polish, and rinse the teeth to remove any tartar and plaque that have built up on the tooth's surface.

Visiting our office in Warminster, PA every six months gives you the chance to talk to the doctor about any questions you may have about your oral health. Regular exams are offered by appointment only, so please contact our practice today to schedule your or your child's next dental exam and teeth cleaning.

Kids Extractions May Be Needed in Warminster, PA

There are times when it is necessary to remove a tooth. Sometimes a baby tooth has misshapen or long roots that prevent it from falling out as it should, and the tooth must be removed to make way for the permanent tooth to erupt.

At other times, a tooth may have so much decay that it puts the surrounding teeth at risk of decay, so the doctor may recommend its removal. Infection, orthodontic correction, or problems with a wisdom tooth can also require the removal of a tooth.

When it is determined that a tooth needs to be removed, we may extract the tooth during a regular checkup or may request another visit for this procedure. While this procedure is typically very quick, it is important to share with the doctor any concerns or preferences for sedation.

Fluoride Treatments for Kids in Warminster, PA

Fluoride is effective in preventing cavities and tooth decay and in preventing plaque from building up and hardening on the tooth’s surface. A fluoride treatment in a dentist’s office takes just a few minutes.

After the treatment, your child may be asked not to rinse, eat, or drink for at least 30 minutes in order to allow the teeth to absorb the fluoride. Depending on your child's oral health or the doctor’s recommendation, a fluoride treatment may be required every three, six, or 12 months. Call today (215) 443-0400 to set up a same-day appointment.

Childrens' Fillings in Warminster, PA

Traditional dental restoratives, or fillings, may include gold, porcelain, or composite. Newer dental fillings include ceramic and plastic compounds that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. These compounds, often called composite resins, are typically used on the front teeth where a natural appearance is important.

There are two different kinds of fillings: direct and indirect. Direct fillings are fillings placed directly into a prepared cavity in a single visit. Indirect fillings generally require two or more visits. These fillings include inlays and veneers fabricated with ceramics or composites.

Call today (215) 443-0400 to set up an appointment with us to make sure your child's health is taken care of.
