Preventive Dentistry

NON-SURGICAL GUM TREATMENT

At Congers Dental Arts, we are not only concerned with the health of your teeth, but with the health of the gums, bones, and tissues that support and surround the teeth as well. We aim to prevent and treat periodontal (gum) disease in order to protect you from its harmful effects. To treat periodontal disease, we provide deep cleaning services, including scaling and root planing.

 

We are dedicated to helping you maintain optimal oral health. For more information regarding periodontal disease, or to schedule your consultation with our dentist, please call our office soon.

 

SEALANTS

To help protect the back teeth against tooth decay, our dentists may place dental sealants. A sealant is a clear or tooth-colored material that is applied to the back teeth’s chewing surfaces, where tooth decay is most likely to occur.

 

By covering the grooves and pits of the back teeth, sealants can help block out the food and germs that cause decay. Sealants should be placed as soon as the back molars erupt for optimal results. To learn more about sealants or preventive dentistry, please contact Congers Dental Arts today.
