Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Six-month dental checkups and cleanings are beneficial for many reasons. Allowing our team to examine your mouth and clean your teeth and gums reduces the possibility of cavities, dental decay, and gum disease – oral health problems that require more invasive restorative care. They are also invaluable because of the inclusion of oral cancer screenings, a form of early detection that our dentists will provide that can potentially save your life.
Fluoride Treatment
Strengthening tooth enamel and combating decay are two reasons why our dentists at Riverside Dental Center offer fluoride treatment. Commonly found in toothpaste, public drinking water, and various foods, this helpful, natural mineral offers a layer of protection for children and adults who are prone to developing cavities. With its quick and painless application, fluoride can shield your smile from harmful bacteria, so you can enjoy better oral health throughout the year.
Nightguards for Bruxism
A custom-made nightguard crafted by our dentists at Riverside Dental Center can be an effective way to curb enamel erosion and alleviate jaw pain caused by teeth grinding (bruxism). Although a common habit among many children and adults, its negative side effects can be avoided with the help of this cushioned barrier that protects teeth from touching throughout the night. Not only will you enjoy more restful sleep, but you’ll also lower your chances of dental damage in the long run.
TMJ Treatment
Chronic jaw pain no longer has to be a daily occurrence when you invest in TMJ treatment from our Riverside Dental Center practice. Our team of expert dentists can reduce soreness and improve oral function and movement with the help of occlusal splints and equilibration/occlusal adjustments. These services allow us to treat the underlying cause of jaw pain so that you experience less joint inflammation and discomfort when preparing to eat a meal with friends or speak at a big event.
