Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation

Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums, bones and other structures that surround and support the teeth. In its early stages, it’s called gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gums. Gums can appear red and swollen and may bleed during brushing and flossing. Gingivitis is a reversible condition with regular dental cleaning and better home care.
Gingivitis can progress to periodontitis if left untreated as well as permanent loss of teeth-supporting bone. Periodontitis treatment may involve periodontal therapy or surgery and continuing visits every 3- 5 months for life.
Bruxism Screening Bruxism is the habitual grinding of the teeth which occurs inadvertently. Unmanaged bruxism can result
in excessive cracks, wear, sensitivity, and painful chewing.
Luxe dentists will search for evidence of teeth clenching or grinding at your first and preventive care exam visits. If the dentist sees evidence of grinding, a soft, inexpensive, flexible mouth-guard can be designed for you to wear while you sleep. This will control the wearing of your teeth.

Dental Fluoride

Fluoride is often termed “nature’s cavity fighter”. Fluoride, a naturally occurring substance that prevents cavities by making the outer surface of the teeth (enamel) more resistant to corrosive attacks from foods and beverages.
We at Luxe Dental promote the use of fluoride for children and adults. Systemic and topical application of fluoride is vital for the development and maintenance of healthy teeth.
