General Dentistry
At Victoria Court Dental, we provide general dentistry procedures to take care of your oral health. These include oral exams, X-rays, and hygiene appointments to ensure your teeth are in good condition, and procedures such as root canals to maintain the health of your teeth.
Oral Cancer Screening
One essential aspect of your oral exam is to assess for signs of oral cancer in the mouth. Your dentist will visually examine the gums for signs of discolouration and palpate the mouth tissues to identify any lumps. Early detection is key, which is why it is recommended that you visit your dentist at least once a year for a routine check-up.
Dental Sealants
Cavities are caused when food particles become trapped in the grooves of the teeth, and bacteria begin to cause dental decay. To reduce the incidence of decay, dental professionals recommend applying a thin plastic coating called a dental sealant on the chewing surface of the teeth, preventing bacteria from eating away at the teeth. Sealants are recommended for children whose adult teeth have come in and can also be beneficial for adults.
Dental X-Rays
When you have a dental exam, your dentist will take X-rays and perform a thorough visual inspection of your teeth and gums. While much can be understood by visually examining the teeth, X-rays help to identify any problems that are developing below the gum line. Our practice utilizes digital X-rays, which provide fast results, are comfortable for the patient, and generate detailed views of the teeth and jaw bone.
Root Canals
When bacteria infiltrate the hard white surface of the teeth, it can penetrate the dental pulp and cause a tooth infection. Tooth infections don’t usually resolve on their own, so it’s essential to seek root canal treatment from your dentist.
Teeth Extractions
As your Bible Hill dentist, our aim is always to protect your natural teeth. However, there are situations when your dentist may recommend a tooth extraction to preserve your oral health. These may include a wisdom tooth extraction and the removal of teeth that are severely infected.
