Preventive Dentistry

Early detection is the key to avoide costly and commplicated dental treatment. Prevention begins with the control of plaque and calculus, the main cause of decay and periodontal disease. In fact, the major cause of tooth loss in adults is periodontal disease, which is known as the silent killer of teeth because most patients feel no symptoms until it's too late. With regular dental visits, we can treat teeth and gum disease at an early stage, before it gets out of hand.

Guards

Sports Guards & Brux (grinding) guards are preventive appliances. They prevent damage or further damage to your teeth & gums. Although both the sports guard & brux guard's design is similar, the material from which they are made are different.

Sports Guards are designed to protect an athlete's teeth during a sporting activity. These guards are particularly recommended for players engaged in semi- or full-contact sports. Examples are: Hockey, Soccer, Football, Karate, etc. The benefits of wearing a sports guard are obvious. In addition to the bracing & cushioning effect of the guard, the low cost of a sports guard dramatically outweigh the cost of repairing damaged or fractured teeth.
