Don’t rush when you brush!

Read on to learn about preventive dentistry in Norlane

Preventive dentistry focuses on caring for your teeth to maintain their health. This helps to prevent cavities, gum disease, enamel wear, and more problems.

There are many ways to prevent dental problems, including daily brushing at home and dental cleanings at our dental practice Norlane.

To keep optimal oral health, visit your dentist regularly, and by regularly we mean twice a year.

These practices are performed to ensure that teeth are clean, durable, and white. Children should be taught proper oral hygiene as early as their first teeth come in.

Oral Check-up & Clean

You should visit your dentist at least twice per year for an examination to check for any problems in the mouth.

If you’re at great risk for dental problems, you’ll likely benefit from more frequent dental visits.

If you’re at low risk for dental problems, you may see the same benefits from only one visit per year.

Mouthguards & Splints

Mouthguards are protective dental appliances worn in the mouth when playing sports.

They protect your teeth and cushion blows to the face and teeth, preventing breakage and other damage to your teeth and soft tissues.

Night splints or night guards have the same functions as those of mouthguards, but they are worn at night during sleep.

Fissure Sealants

Fissure sealants are resin-based coatings painted on the grooves of the back teeth.

The sealant forms a protective coating that keeps food and bacteria from getting stuck in the tiny grooves in the teeth and causing tooth decay.
