Our Preventive Dentistry Services

Thorough Exams and Cleanings for a Healthy Smile

During your dental cleaning, our highly skilled and experienced hygienists will meticulously remove any accumulated plaque and tartar from every corner of your teeth. They are thorough but gentle, ensuring that your smile is clean and healthy.

This process is crucial in maintaining your oral health, as it effectively removes the harmful substances that could lead to decay if left unaddressed. Regular dental exams from our doctors identify early signs of decay, oral cancer and more.

Strengthen Your Smile with Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments are part of regular six-month checkups for many adults as well as children. Fluoride is a mineral that helps to strengthen tooth enamel, neutralize acids, and protect teeth from cavity-causing bacteria and plaque.

You may get adequate doses of fluoride from daily brushing with fluoridated toothpaste, but if your smile could use an extra boost, our doctors may recommend a professional fluoride treatment.

Oral Cancer Screenings for Your Long-term Health

Oral cancer screenings are a vital component of preventive dental care, serving as a proactive measure to detect early signs of cancer in the mouth. Our screenings involve a thorough examination of the oral cavity, including the lips, tongue, throat, and adjacent tissues.

Regular screenings can identify abnormalities or changes in the oral tissues that may go unnoticed by the untrained eye. By integrating oral cancer screenings into routine dental visits, we can help safeguard your overall health.

Protect Your Teeth With Custom Nightguards

If you’re struggling with premature wear on your teeth due to unconscious clenching or night grinding, we can help.

Left untreated, bruxism can lead to chips, cracks, and jaw pain. We create custom mouthguards that can protect you from this issue.

Often referred to as nightguards, these oral appliances place a physical barrier between your rows of teeth that prevents wear from this unconscious clenching and grinding.

We custom fabricate these nightguards for optimal comfort and protection.

Diagnostic Technology

Pelican Landing Dental is equipped with the latest in dental technology to deliver quick, accurate, long-lasting results.

We use intraoral cameras to get an in-depth look at your teeth and gums, as well as digital X-rays that are safer and more accurate than traditional X-rays.

Our cone beam scanner allows us to produce three dimensional images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways and bone in a single scan.

Home Care Instructions

If you already have a solid at-home dental hygiene routine, we’re happy to hear it!

However, if you’re prone to frequent tooth decay, we may also recommend a prescription-strength anti-cavity toothpaste. We prescribe Clinpro 5000 fluoridated toothpaste for patients who regularly have cavities.

If you’d like help choosing other oral hygiene products, please don’t hesitate to ask our hygienists or dentists.

We’d be happy to talk to you about what products will best suit your oral health needs.
