Preventative dentistry is the cornerstone of maintaining optimal oral health. By focusing on routine care such as regular cleanings, comprehensive exams, and consistent at-home practices, patients can significantly reduce the risk of developing common dental issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay. A proactive approach not only preserves your smile but also minimizes the need for more complex and costly treatments in the future.
At Enso Dental Arts, we prioritize preventative care as an essential part of your long-term oral health journey. Dr. Hiruma and her dedicated team offer tailored care, including thorough checkups, professional cleanings, and personalized guidance, ensuring your teeth and gums remain in excellent condition. Our goal is to support you in maintaining a healthy, confident smile for years to come.
We get it, it can be a bit too easy to put off your bi-annual dental exam, and we don’t blame you – life gets busy! But remember, skipping your appointments can cost even more time and money in the future. Coming in twice a year allows us to catch small issues before they become time-consuming, expensive problems. Regular checkups only take about an hour, and we assure you we will make it a comfortable process. Let’s keep that smile of yours healthy with our excellent preventive services.
Dr. Hiruma and her team are committed to helping her patients maintain their oral health and confidence. By prioritizing prevention, we protect both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile.
At Enso Dental Arts, we offer a wide range of preventive services to help you avoid painful and costly dental issues. A few of the ways we work to support your oral health include the following:
Fluoride treatments are one of the best ways to keep dental decay at bay. A simple, non-invasive procedure, fluoride treatments help to keep your enamel strong. After your cleaning, we’ll apply a fluoride-rich varnish or gel; we may ask you to refrain from eating or drinking anything for 30 minutes or so following your visit. Fluoride helps strengthen the enamel, making it more resistant to acids from plaque, bacteria, and sugary foods that cause cavities.
Dental sealants are a great way for patients to protect their teeth from decay. Dental sealants are often recommended for children, but can still be a great option for patients of all ages. Plus, dental sealants can provide protection for your teeth for years after being applied.
Dental sealants are a quick, noninvasive procedure that utilizes a dental resin applied to the molars. The uneven surface of the molars, located in the rear of the mouth, is filled with grooves where plaque and bacteria can flourish. After application, the resin is cured with UV light, causing it to harden into a powerful barrier between your teeth and the foods, drinks, acid, and bacteria that lead to decay.
Dental emergencies can be painful, stressful experiences, but we’re here to help. If you’re experiencing a dental emergency, the first thing to do is take a deep breath and keep calm. Then, give us a call to find out if you need immediate care. Dental emergencies can be anything from a knocked-out tooth or dental work to a persistent toothache. If you’re unsure if what you’re experiencing qualifies as a dental emergency, it’s better to be safe than sorry, so get in touch with us right away so you can get the care you need when you need it.
Unconscious teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, is a common issue that tends to happen at night while patients are asleep. However, night guards can help patients alleviate symptoms of bruxism by creating a barrier between your teeth that protects them from grinding-related damage. Depending on the severity of the case, night guards can be made from several different materials with varying degrees of softness.
