We offer the following preventive care services at our Phoenix, AZ dental office:
Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis)
To keep your teeth healthy between dental visits, Dr. Teiman recommends patients receive dental cleanings at least twice a year to prevent oral health issues and disease from arising. Depending on the current state of your oral health, she may recommend more frequent, targeted cleanings.
For dental cleanings, our team uses the latest dental tools to provide rapid, comfortable care, eradicating plaque along the way. Afterward, they will polish the teeth to help remove stains and discoloration. In some instances, we may recommend an additional fluoride treatment to help strengthen the teeth even further.
Periodontal Therapy
Our skilled hygienist will measure your gum health at every visit, to assess the depth of your gum pockets and determine if there is a need for periodontal deep cleaning. While healthy mouth cleanings will generally take place every 6 months, for patients who have signs of periodontal (gum) disease, your maintenance cleanings may take place every 3 to 4 months depending on the severity.
Nightguards For TMJ Pain
For patients who suffer from bruxism, or teeth grinding during sleep, our team offers custom-crafted night guards to protect their smiles. Our team will craft advanced orthotics to help correct the problem and protect against the symptoms associated with bruxism, including TMJ, headaches, migraines, and uneven tooth wear.
