We are equipped with digital radiography. Digital radiography utilizes much less radiation than conventional/old school radiography. We always ensure safe radiography precautions such as use of lead aprons, thyroid collars and utilization of the lowest amount of radiation necessary to obtain diagnostic images.

Dental prophylaxis is done using hand scalers as well as rotary brushes (prophy cups). A special toothpaste is used to brush the teeth. Dental floss is used to remove plaque in between the teeth.

Due to the anti-cavity property of fluoride, American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) encourages the application of professional fluoride treatments for all children at risk for dental caries. We use fluoride gel and fluoride varnish for topical application after a dental cleaning during every recall visit. Frequency may vary depending on age and the patient’s cavity risk.

Approximately 90% of all cavities start on the biting surfaces of the permanent molar teeth. Dental sealant is a resin material which is applied and cured on the biting surfaces of the molars in order to prevent the food and plaque from depositing in the grooves and fissures of the molars.

This is offered to our adolescent patients. The patient is first assessed and then a determination is made if he or she is an appropriate candidate for bleaching.

Removal of teeth could be required in several situations such as extensively decayed teeth that are non-restorable; teeth associated with infection (abscess); teeth that are over retained and those requiring removal for orthodontic reasons.

We are a mercury-free facility. Therefore, we only use composite/tooth colored filling materials to restore decayed teeth surfaces.

Injuries to the teeth and other issues in the mouth are attended to immediately. These may include splinting of teeth, sutures if necessary and so on.
