Dental Cleaning & Exams

Learn More
A professional dental cleaning will prevent cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Our hygienist will focus on removal of dental plaque, which is a soft, sticky, bacteria film; and tartar, a calculus, from the teeth. The advanced tools are specialized instruments constructed and shaped to comfortably remove tartar deposits without harming the teeth; and once its all gone, the teeth are polished using a slow-speed hand piece that applies the special toothpaste-like material. You’ll leave this exam with a shiny, smooth smile.

Fillings

Learn More
It’s no fun getting cavities, but fillings have come a long way in treating the cavity to prevent decay. Fillings can also be needed to replace or repair an old, worn-down existing filling or chipped tooth. Broadmoor Family Dental Care uses composite fillings, which is basically the material of choice when it comes to matching your tooth color.

Gum disease

Learn More
In the U.S., an estimated three out of four adults have some level of gum disease and many don’t ever realize it. Gum disease is inflammation and infection of the gums and the surrounding tissue. Generally caused by bacterial plaque, it is the biggest cause of adult tooth loss. If caught in the early stages, our team can help to reverse the gum disease and get you back on track to a healthy mouth.

Oral cancer screenings

Learn More
An estimated 30,000 Americans are diagnosed each year with oral cancer, thus it has become a higher mortality rate disease than cervical cancer, Hodgkin’s disease, liver cancer or kidney cancer. If diagnosed early, oral cancer has a 90% cure rate. Because 25 percent of the people diagnosed with oral cancer have no risk factors, an oral cancer screening should be a routine part of dental maintenance.

In the Chair

Oral cancer screenings are routinely conducted while in chair at cleaning appointments.

Estimated Time Start to Finish: 15-30 minutes

Regular checkups include examination of the entire mouth for early detection
