Our top preventive dental services in Waco, TX include:
Dental Exams
Regular dental exams are critical for maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues. Our dentists and their dental team at Acre Wood Dental can help detect problems early to allow for prompt treatment, which also helps to prevent costly procedures in the future.
Preventive Cleanings
Preventive dental cleanings are one of the best ways to take charge of your oral health. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar to maintain healthy gum tissue and prevent infections. Left untreated, plaque and tartar can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Preventive cleanings can also reduce the risk of periodontal disease and resulting tooth loss. Want a brighter smile and fresher breath? A preventive cleaning at Acre Wood Dental can help!
Fluoride/Varnish Treatment
Fluoride/Varnish treatment is a topical application that can prevent and even reverse early tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel. The varnish is painted onto the teeth and serves as a barrier and protectant, making smiles more resistant to decay-causing bacteria.
Dental Sealants
Acre Wood Dental also offers sealants, another method to prevent bacteria from harming teeth. Sealants utilize a thin plastic coating applied to the chewing surfaces of permanent molars. These treatments are non-invasive, less expensive than a dental filling, and can last several years.
Silver Diamine Treatment (SDF)
We offer silver diamine fluoride treatment, or SDF, a quick and painless topical treatment to treat tooth sensitivity. SDF can stop decay and help prevent new cavities from forming. This antimicrobial treatment is an affordable and non-invasive solution for some patients.
Teeth Desensitizing Treatments
Sensitive teeth can impact your livelihood due to pain while eating, drinking, and even brushing. Worn tooth enamel, exposed roots, or injured teeth can be the culprit. Acre Wood Dental can identify the cause of your pain and offer treatments that include fluoride application or dental sealants.
Mouthguards for Bruxism
Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth that can result in jaw pain, headaches, and damaged teeth, often while sleeping. Acre Wood Dental will create a custom mouthpiece for the most effective prevention of bruxism damage. Because these guards are formed to fit your mouth perfectly, they are a comfortable and functional defense system.
