Preventative Dentistry

Prevention is always your best option. We want to help educate our patients and provide them the tools they need to prevent oral health issues. Dr. Brahmbhatt, and our entire team at Our Dentist, can give you the services and tips to help you achieve a healthy smile for your entire life. Our family dental practice is dedicated to teaching our patients the key steps to obtaining a healthy smile.

Our preventative services include:

Dental Cleanings

Aside from daily brushing and flossing, coming in for your six month dental cleaning is the most important step you can take to keep your teeth healthy. Your dental cleaning, with our professional hygienist, is very important. At your cleaning appointment we will:

•	Remove plaque and tartar or calculus that has accumulated on the surface and along the rim of your teeth and gums. This material is full of decay causing bacteria that is harmful to your teeth and gums.
•	Measure the depth of your gum pockets. Anything greater than 3mm is an indication of gum disease that will need to be managed.
•	Floss your teeth to remove any missed food particles.
•	Polish your teeth with a gritty toothpaste to remove any surface stains.

Dental Exams

Dental exams with Dr. Brahmbhatt are also very important, not only to spot problem areas, but also to spot potential future problems and catch them while they are small. Your dental exam will include a visual inspection, often with a probe in hand. He will look for anything unusual, including decay, growths, or signs of gum disease. Dr. Brahmbhatt may also review dental x-rays, this will help him spot any hidden issues that can not be seen. If he spots anything out of sorts, he will make the necessary recommendations to restore the health of your teeth.

Fluoride Treatments

A common preventative measure is the application of fluoride. In most situations, patients have fluoride in their drinking water, and so a treatment is not considered necessary. Fluoride strengthens your teeth by mineralizing the enamel, the hard outer layer, of your teeth. Dr. Brahmnbatt is happy to answer your questions and review the status of your enamel.

Sealants

Dental sealants are a great resource for protecting the health of your children’s and even some of our adult patient’s teeth. Sealants are a liquid plastic material that we paint onto the surfaces of your back molars. This seals your teeth from coming into contact with food debris and bacteria, protecting your teeth from decay. Many of our young patients who receive sealants reach adulthood without ever experiencing a cavity.

At Our Dentist, we want you to have and maintain a healthy and functional set of teeth. Together, we can review your oral hygiene and make a plan to enhance your teeth’s success. We value the importance of dental education, and establishing a good oral hygiene routine. Contact Mitesh G. Brahmbhatt, DMD for an evaluation by calling our office at (413) 217-4455.
