Avoid Common Issues

Six Month Check-Ups

Six-month checkups are the best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy and avoid issues like tooth decay, infections, and gum disease. These routine visits are essential for both adults and children to ensure that your oral health is on the right track. At Enamel Dentistry, we inspect every nook and cranny of your mouth during your checkup to catch even the smallest cavity and keep an eye out for any abnormalities.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatments are a great way to prevent minor tooth decay from progressing into a cavity. Tooth decay can cause a “soft spot” in your enamel, which can easily turn into an irreversible cavity. Fluoride treatments use a highly-concentrated fluoride compound to “remineralize” and strengthen damaged enamel. This helps prevent cavities from forming and reverses the earliest stages of tooth decay.

 

The Importance of Early Detection

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer screenings are a part of every six-month oral exam at North Peace Dental. Without regular dental appointments, oral cancer is often very hard to detect until it has reached Stage III or IV, and spread throughout the body. This results in poor overall patient outcomes. However, early-stage cancer can be detected with proper screenings to ensure that you get the care you need before it’s too late. One of our dentists will look for lesions, discoloration, or other signs of oral cancer, and ask you questions about your health to understand your oral cancer risk.
