Preventative and Periodontal Services in Lincolnton NC
Prevention is the key to maintaining optimal oral health. Our dedicated team is committed to
providing comprehensive preventative and periodontal services to help you achieve a healthy
and beautiful smile. Read on to learn more about our services and how they can benefit you.
Preventative Services:
Dental Examinations:
Regular dental examinations are essential for early detection and
prevention of dental issues. Our experienced dentists will thoroughly analyze your teeth,
gums, and oral tissues to identify any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health
problems. Early detection allows for prompt treatment and prevents more serious
complications
Professional Dental Cleanings:
Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and
tartar can accumulate on your teeth, leading to gum disease and tooth decay. Our skilled
dental hygienists will clean professionally to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains,
leaving your teeth clean and polished. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease,
maintain fresh breath, and promote oral health.
Digital X-rays:
Our state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology lets us capture detailed
images of your teeth, jaw, and supporting structures with minimal radiation exposure.
These images help us identify hidden dental problems such as cavities, impacted teeth,
or bone loss, which may not be visible during a visual examination.
Dental Sealants:
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing
surfaces of your back teeth (molars and premolars). They create a barrier against
bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities in these vulnerable areas. Dental
sealants are a safe and effective way to prevent tooth decay, especially for children and
teenagers.
Periodontal Services:
Gum Disease Evaluation:
Our skilled periodontists will evaluate the health of your gums
and diagnose any signs of gum disease. Early intervention is crucial in preventing the
progression of gum disease, which can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and systemic
health problems.
Scaling and Root Planing:
If gum disease is detected, we offer scaling and root planing,
a non-surgical deep cleaning procedure. This treatment involves removing plaque, tartar,
and bacteria from below the gum line and smoothing the tooth roots to encourage gum
tissue reattachment. Scaling and root planing help eliminate infection and promote gum
healing.
Periodontal Maintenance:
After receiving treatment for gum disease, it’s essential to
maintain regular periodontal maintenance visits. Our skilled hygienists will clean your
teeth, monitor your gum health, and provide personalized advice on oral hygiene
practices to help prevent the recurrence of gum disease.
At Magnolia Dentistry, we are committed to providing personalized and compassionate care.
Our preventative and periodontal services are designed to preserve your natural teeth, promote
overall oral health, and enhance your smile. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and
