Our comprehensive menu of general dental care for all ages includes preventive treatment, restorative solutions, and disease prevention. It is our pleasure to take care of our patients’ extensive and changing oral health needs.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is one of the easiest, fastest, and most minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry treatments. If you have minor cosmetic problems with your teeth – a chip, crack, gap, stain, or other unsightliness – dental bonding is color-matched to your tooth enamel and used to conceal whatever issue is present. Plus, it only takes one dental visit to complete the procedure and usually does not require an anesthetic.
Gum Disease Treatment
It’s not just your teeth that your dentist is looking at when they see you, but your gums too. Any sign of early gum disease, known as gingivitis, needs to be treated right away to prevent the spread of the infection. If you have a severe case of periodontal disease, you could already be suffering extreme discomfort, loose teeth, or even tooth loss.
Gum disease requires the following treatments, depending on the severity of the problem:
- Laser dentistry: A sophisticated, minimally invasive treatment that destroys bacteria and allows for faster recovery.
- Scaling and root planing: The common deep cleaning for early infection that removes plaque and prevents more bacteria from growing.
- Antibiotics: Often administered as a topical treatment like mouthwash or gel to help combat gum disease and your dentist’s other cleaning efforts.
Emergency Dentistry
Any serious blow to the mouth or severe tooth pain should be considered a dental emergency. Always contact your dentist if you have any of the following problems and allow them to determine if you need to be seen right away:
- Broken tooth
- Lost dental work
- Dislodged tooth
- Knocked out tooth
- Extreme toothache
Dental emergencies are never convenient, but if you need your oral health tended to, your Bethesda general dentistry practice is ready to help.
