Dental Cleanings and Checkups for Adults
We recommend that adults in Metuchen, NJ, get teeth cleanings at least twice a year. Maintaining good oral health is crucial at any age. As we get older, the risk of oral infections increases, and the protective enamel on our teeth wears down, making cavities more likely. To combat this, it’s essential to brush and floss daily and visit the dentist regularly. We offer flexible appointment times to fit your work or family schedule, making it easier than ever to keep your teeth clean and healthy.
Sensitive Teeth
At House of Dentistry, we specialize in gentle dentistry and provide teeth cleanings for patients with sensitive teeth. Many adults delay dental visits due to concerns about pain during exams or cleanings. With our compassionate approach, you can feel at ease, no matter how sensitive your teeth are. We offer a range of sedation options to ensure your comfort, whether you need relaxation or pain relief. We’ll tailor a treatment plan with sedation to keep you comfortable throughout your dental care.
In New Jersey, it's important to understand why teeth become sensitive. Often, sensitivity results from the enamel on your teeth wearing down due to aging, diet, or inadequate oral care. While desensitizing toothpaste can help, regular dental visits are crucial to maintaining healthy teeth and gums and preventing increased sensitivity. During your exam, inform us about any discomfort so we can explore solutions like fluoride treatments or sealants to alleviate it.
Preventing Emergencies
Regular dental cleanings and checkups are key to preventing dental emergencies. Many adults wait too long between visits, allowing infections to develop and potentially causing painful situations that lead to urgent dental issues. For example, a minor cavity can be treated with minimal discomfort, but if left untreated, it can lead to an infection in the tooth’s center, requiring a root canal. Fortunately, these complications can often be avoided by scheduling appointments with Dr. Kapadia twice a year. Additionally, maintaining good oral health reduces the risk of teeth becoming damaged or injured, helping to prevent issues like cracks or chips from accidents.
Education
During your teeth cleaning and checkups at House of Dentistry, we’ll also provide guidance on maintaining your oral health at home. We believe that effective home care complements your visits to our office. We recommend brushing twice daily with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to remove harmful sugars and bacteria while strengthening your teeth. Daily flossing helps remove food particles and bacteria from hard-to-reach areas, and using an antibacterial mouthwash can eliminate any remaining germs.
A balanced diet is crucial for good oral health. Drink plenty of water and include dairy products, lean proteins, green vegetables, and complex carbohydrates in your diet to ensure your body receives essential nutrients. We’ll offer additional tips and information during your cleaning and checkups . To schedule your appointment with House of Dentistry, call 732-510-0990.
