Oral Cancer screenings
Oral cancer screenings are a very important part of the dental visit for the patient. With the advances in modern technology, we are now able to pinpoint the start of a potential problem much earlier in its evolution.
Oral Cancer screenings
The ability to do so is extremely important in being able to treat any issues prior to them becoming a major irreversible problem.
The oral cancer screening is often completed with an ultraviolet light or similar device that allows us to view issues that can't always be detected by the human eye under normal conditions.
Certain lifestyle choices can have a great impact on the health of tissues and your overall health in the mouth. If you are a smoker or heavy drinker, make sure to get regular screenings when you visit the dentist.

Cut or bitten tongue, lip, or cheek?
Apply ice to the bruised area. If there is bleeding, apply firm pressure with a clean gauze or cloth. If we are in the office, you can email or text us a picture of the area so that we may evaluate the severity of the cut. If bleeding does not stop after 15 minutes or it cannot be controlled by simple pressure, take the child to the emergency room.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Hygiene
Why are baby teeth important?
It is very important to maintain the health of primary teeth (baby teeth). Neglected cavities can cause pain and infection and it also can lead to problems which affect the developing permanent teeth. Primary teeth are important for (1) proper chewing and eating (2) providing space for permanent teeth and guiding them into position and (3) permitting normal development of the jaw bones and muscles.
What do I do if my child has a toothache?
Clean the area around the sore tooth thoroughly. Rinse the mouth with warm water or use dental floss to dislodge impacted food or debris. Call our office and make an appointment.
DO NOT place aspirin on the gum or the aching tooth. If the face is swollen, or if the pain persists contact our office as soon as possible.
