OUR PREVENTIVE CARE SERVICES

Dental Exam

A routine dental exam is a crucial part of maintaining good oral health, allowing Dr. Edpuganti to detect and prevent potential problems before they become more serious issues. During a routine exam, Dr.E will thoroughly examine your mouth for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues, and provide personalized recommendations for improvement.

Dental Cleaning

If you have healthy gum and bone tissues with minimal tartar buildup, a regular dental prophylaxis (regular cleaning) is all that you need. These cleanings help you maintain a healthy smile, reverse early signs of gingivitis, prevent tooth decay, and slow the progression of periodontal disease and bone loss.

Dental X-Rays

Dr. Edpuganti utilizes digital radiography to visualize hidden areas, such as between teeth, inside teeth, around the roots, and below the chewing surfaces, where decay or other oral health issues may be developing.

Dental Sealants

We recommend protective sealants for young children to help prevent tooth decay in difficult-to-reach areas. Sealants are typically applied on the chewing surfaces of back teeth (molars and premolars).

Occlusal Guard

If you tend to clench and grind your teeth at night or day, it can take a toll on your smile, dental work, and overall oral health. Wearing a custom-fitted night guard protects your oral health and provides superior comfort. Additionally, it can help alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorder and reduce frequent headaches.

Topical Fluoride

Is a preventive treatment applied directly to the teeth to strengthen tooth enamel, reverse early signs of tooth decay, and reduce tooth sensitivity. Regular applications of topical fluoride can help prevent cavities and promote overall oral health, especially for children and individuals at high risk of tooth decay.

Athletic Mouthguards

Are protective devices worn over the teeth and gums to prevent oral injuries during sports and physical activities, reducing the risk of tooth loss, jaw damage, and concussion. Custom-fitted mouthguards provide superior protection and comfort compared to generic, over-the-counter options, and are recommended for athletes participating in high-impact sports

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer screening is a vital part of our dental exams, helping us detect any abnormal cell changes in your mouth, lips, tongue, or throat. Early detection is key, and our screening process is simple, painless, and quick. By catching oral cancer early, we can significantly improve treatment outcomes and save lives.
