You are most welcome for a dental checkup by our trained dentists to determine if you have any oral health problems you may or may not have noticed or felt before- problems such as decaying teeth, deterioration of fillings, gum disease, oral cancer, and other problems that may affect your health. After examination, you will have a wider understanding of the condition of your teeth and mouth, and the opportunity to select the treatment suitable for you.

A dental filling or pasta is a mode of treatment wherein a tooth damaged by decay, or misuse such as grinding and nail-biting is restored back to its normal function and shape. This treatment entails removal of the decayed part of the tooth, cleaning of the affected area, and then filling of the cleaned cavity with filling material. The type of filling material appropriate for your case will be suggested by your dentist.

Oral prophylaxis or cleaning is recommended every six months or annually, depending on the condition and history of the patient. It is a dental procedure that entails assessment of the teeth and jaw for evident signs of poor oral health. This assessment may expose underlying dental health problems such as erupting wisdom teeth, oral cavities, or even oral cancer which may entail prompt treatment. The early recognition of dental problems may help prevent serious conditions.

Fluoride is a mineral found in your bones and teeth. Fluoride treatment or therapy can improve health and reduce the risk of cavities by reducing breakdown of teeth by acids, promoting remineralization, and reducing the activity of bacteria. It is a professional oral treatment that contains a high concentration of fluoride, usually in the form of sodium fluoride or stannous fluoride.

Fluoride therapy is recommended for children under the age of six. Though at this age, children still do not have permanent teeth, this treatment may prevent build-up of bacteria around the gums, fight gingivitis, and serve as a foundation for good dental health.

There are a number of conditions wherein the dentist may recommend tooth extraction. This may include conditions such as severely decayed teeth, unrepairable/ unrestorable broken or damaged teeth, or teeth that may have advanced periodontal disease. Other conditions that may entail tooth extraction would be poorly positioned teeth (impacted), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
