Family Dentist Procedures for Oral Health

Rivers Family Dentistry provides a variety of family dentist procedures for oral health. If you live in the Bryan, TX area, we encourage you to schedule teeth cleanings and dental exams twice per year. During these appointments, we can clean your teeth and make recommendations for solutions like sealants, mouth guards, oral cancer screenings, periodontics, and anything else that can improve your oral health. To schedule an appointment with our 77801 office, call (979) 710-2216.

Our Family Dentist Procedures for Oral Health Include:

• Cleanings. At Rivers Family Dentistry, we recommend that our patients schedule teeth cleanings for twice per year. This allows us to remove any plaque and tartar that have formed on your teeth and around your gums. As a result, you will be at a reduced risk for developing cavities or gum disease. While this appointment can be completed in under an hour, the benefits are far reaching.
• Exams. When you visit our Bryan, TX dental office for an exam, we will look for signs of decay and infection. If we notice a cavity, we can treat it immediately before it causes a toothache or spreads to create more damage. We can also look for signs of more significant oral health problems like gum disease and loose teeth. Identifying issues quickly is the best way to provide convenient care. Our exams are thorough for this reason.
• Sealants. Many of our 77801 patients benefit from the use of dental sealants. In this procedure, we brush a plastic-like substance onto the surface of the teeth, creating a barrier between the chewing surfaces of teeth and the food you eat. As a result, food particles cannot become trapped, plaque cannot build up, and your teeth are less likely to experience decay in this particular area.
• Mouth guards. We highly recommend mouth guards for anyone who plays sports, child or adult. Mouth guards can prevent both teeth and facial damage in the event that a flying elbow or runaway ball comes in contact with your mouth. This happens to thousands of people every year, and by wearing mouth guards, your family can avoid being one of the victims.
• Oral cancer screenings. Cancer is a serious concern that most Americans are worried about. Few, however, realize how common oral cancer is. Killing one person an hour, every day of the year, it ravages the body. Our oral cancer screenings can provide the early detection you need to fight this horrible disease.
• Periodontics. The health of your gums is vital to the health of your overall mouth. Our periodontics treatments are designed to prevent gum disease, treat it, and restore the health of your gums going forward. Periodontics care can make the difference between losing or keeping your teeth as you age, so be sure to schedule your appointment for it.
