Hygiene and Preventative Dentistry in Tustin, CA
At Smile Tustin by Dr. Ezzy we pride ourselves on prevention-focused dental care that keeps your smile healthy for a lifetime. Through proactive, prevention-based strategies, we can help you reduce your risk of decay, periodontal disease, and tooth loss in the years ahead.
Because most dental concerns are preventable, we offer a wide range of preventative dental services, ranging from checkups and cleanings to periodontal therapy and oral cancer screenings.
Teeth Cleaning (Prophy)
It’s recommended that most people receive a professional dental cleaning twice a year. Our dental hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar buildup, which are responsible for cavities, periodontitis, and soft tissue infections. People with healthy teeth and gums typically need preventative cleaning every six months. On the other hand, individuals with a history of gum disease may need more frequent visits.
Dental Checkups (X-Rays & Oral Cancer Screening)
Our Tustin dentist will examine your mouth at each visit to check for signs of tooth decay, cracked or broken teeth, worn dental work, and periodontal infections.
As part of your exam, we’ll also screen for early warning signs of oral cancer. This includes checking the hard and soft tissues inside and outside of your mouth to screen for abnormalities. This way, we can detect potential concerns as early as possible, allowing for a better treatment outcome.
Laser Treatments
Dental laser treatments use focused light energy to perform a variety of dental procedures. This innovative technology allows for more precise and less invasive treatments than traditional dental tools. Lasers can be used for both hard tissue (teeth) and soft tissue (gums) procedures, offering a modern approach to dental care.
Mouthguards
Bruxism (or tooth grinding) can lead to chipped teeth or broken dental work. You may also experience headaches and ear or jaw (TMJ) pain. The best way to prevent your teeth is by wearing a custom-made mouthguard or bite splint. It will allow your jaw to relax and protect your teeth, reducing the strain on your tooth enamel and TMJ joint.
Periodontal Therapy
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss. We routinely screen for periodontal infections as part of your routine checkup. As part of your periodontal assessment, we will measure the attachment levels of the gum tissues around each of your teeth. When areas of tissue pull away from the tooth, it creates a “pocket” that harbors plaque bacteria, eventually leading to bone loss and tooth mobility. Areas of deep pocketing also tend to experience tartar buildup, which cannot be cleaned off with regular brushing and flossing.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment is a dental procedure that involves applying fluoride to the teeth to help prevent tooth decay and strengthen tooth enamel. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays a crucial role in maintaining strong, healthy teeth.
