Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a simple yet effective way to protect your teeth from decay. This preventative treatment involves applying a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of your molars and premolars. Sealants create a barrier that shields your teeth from harmful bacteria and food particles, significantly reducing your risk of cavities.


Benefits of Dental Sealants:

  • Ideal for children and adults with deep grooves in their teeth
  • Quick, painless application
  • Long-lasting protection against tooth decay


How Sealants Work:

  1. Your teeth are cleaned and dried.
  2. A special gel is applied to prepare the tooth surface.
  3. The sealant material is painted onto the tooth and hardened with a curing light.
  4. Once the sealant sets, your tooth is ready to resist decay for years to come.

Oral Cancer Screening

Early detection is key when it comes to oral cancer. Our oral cancer screening is a quick and painless examination that helps identify any abnormal tissue or lesions in your mouth, throat, or neck. By incorporating this vital service into your routine dental checkups, we aim to catch potential issues before they progress.

What to Expect During a Screening:

  • A thorough visual inspection of your lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat
  • Gentle palpation of your neck and jaw for any unusual lumps or swelling
  • Use of advanced diagnostic tools, if necessary, to detect abnormalities


Why Oral Cancer Screening is Important:

  • Oral cancer often shows no symptoms in its early stages
  • Early detection increases the chances of successful treatment
  • It’s a simple yet life-saving part of your dental care routine
