General Dentistry
Avoid bigger problems later with routine dental checkups now.
General dentistry is focused on promoting and maintaining good oral health for patients of all ages.
At Bumgardner Family Dental, we provide standard dental exams and cleanings for our patients daily. We also frequently see patients in need of dentures and root canals. We believe in providing excellent general dentistry services to our patients so they can have the smile they dream of now!
Routine Exam / Oral Hygiene
Oral hygiene is of the utmost importance for our team. So, we want to ensure you know the best methods for keeping your mouth and teeth clean daily.
Did you know that keeping up with your oral hygiene starts at home? Each day, you should brush your teeth morning and night, floss at least once, and add mouthwash to your regimen. Additionally, for anyone with braces, consider purchasing a water flosser to help fully clean around and behind brackets.
In the office, we take care of your oral hygiene through professional teeth cleanings. At these appointments, our team removes all plaque from your teeth and checks on the health of your teeth and gums. We can recognize problem signs early and intervene before disease or tooth decay set in.
Preventative Dentistry
How does our team stay one step ahead of potential dental problems for our patients? The answer is simple: we use preventative dentistry practices.
These practices can look different from one patient to the next. For patients who come in with healthy teeth and gums, preventative methods include providing tips for continued dental health. However, if we notice the beginning signs of tooth decay or gum disease during a checkup, our team will discuss ways to reverse the issues we see and how to prevent further problems.
Fluoride Treatment
Do you remember sitting with foam on your top and bottom teeth at the end of your teeth cleanings? Those were fluoride treatments!
So, what is fluoride? Fluoride is a natural mineral that has been an essential part of oral health for a long time. Fluoride treatments are used at the end of professional teeth cleanings to build up strength in teeth and help prevent cavities by supporting healthy tooth enamel and fighting bacteria that harm teeth and gums. And at Bumgardner Family Dental, we provide a professional fluoride treatment with a large concentration of fluoride to provide extra protection to your teeth.
Dentures & Partial Dentures
Do you have missing teeth affecting your smile, your ability to chew, and more? Then dentures could be the right treatment option for you. We offer patients the option to receive either full or partial denture sets and provide denture repairs.
Root Canal
Do you experience tooth pain when chewing gum and food or drinking a cold or hot liquid? Have you noticed that your face or gums seem swollen? Does one of your teeth seem discolored, or have you seen drainage from a tooth? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you may need a root canal.
Root canals are common treatments used to treat infections in the pulp of a tooth. These infections, caused by bacteria, can severely weaken a tooth.
