Preventive Dentistry Newark

Dental Checkups & Cleanings

The American Dental Association, as well as Drs. Navneet and Simrann, recommend that all children, teens, and adults visit the dentist every six months for routine checkups and cleanings. At these visits, our experienced dentists will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, while our dental hygienists clear away all plaque and tartar accumulated along the gumline and on the teeth. We’ll finish off by polishing and flossing your teeth, helping your smile feel refreshed and keeping cavities at bay until the next time our team sees you! We also conduct oral cancer screenings during each of our checkups.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride is a mineral that’s produced by rocks and found abundantly within nature, from the fruits and vegetables you eat to the soil in your garden. It’s also added to most oral hygiene products and even local water sources as a means of preventive dental care. This is because it has enamel-strengthening properties, which means that it protects against cavities by fortifying the outermost protective layer of teeth. During a fluoride treatment, our team will apply a fluoridated foam onto the teeth for added protection.

Nightguards for Bruxism

Do you wake up with a dull and thumping headache that lingers throughout the day or a sore jaw? These are two of the most common signs that you grind your teeth at night, also known as bruxism. To help prevent the condition from leading to excessive dental wear and the development of other problems, like TMJ disorder, we offer customized nightguards. These are crafted from cushioning acrylic to protect your arches from grinding against each other, leading to tension build-up in the facial muscles and jaw joints.
