Dental Examination
Yes. Numerous precautions and advances in X-Ray equipment help protect patients from receiving unnecessary radiation. The amount of radiation received from a dental exam is extremely small compared to other naturally occurring sources of radiation, including minerals in the soil, radon, and cosmic radiation from outer space. A full-mouth series of films, using start-of-the-art technology, will deliver an effective dose that is equivalent to about 19 days of exposure to naturally occurring environmental radiation.

X-rays
Dental X-Rays are extremely valuable for helping to detect oral diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissues. An X-Ray exam may reveal small cavities that can't be seen by a visual exam, infections in the bone, abscesses, cysts, developmental abnormalities, such as extra or impacted teeth and some types of tumors. Just because such diseases, including early tooth decay, can't be seen by a visual exam does not mean that treatment isn't required.

Teeth Cleaning
Persons who have trouble handing floss may wish to try a commercial floss holder or an inter-dental cleaning aid. Inter-dental cleaning aids include picks, sticks or inter-dental brushes used to remove plaque from between teeth. Your dentist can explain the proper use of these instruments.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
A sealant is a clear shaded plastic material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (premolars and molars), where decay occurs most often. This sealant acts as a barrier, protecting the decay prone areas of the tooth from plaque and acid.
Space Maintainers
To avoid such future problems, your dentist may recommend using a space maintainer to reserve space for the permanent tooth. If a primary tooth does not fall out when it should, your dentist may recommend that it be removed to prevent the irregular eruption of the permanent tooth.

Fillings
Resin Composite
Bonding is a term used to describe a number of procedures that involve applying composite resins to the tooth. Regardless of its use, bonding can provide an attractive result.

Crowns
Crowns are made of metal, ceramic or a combination of the two and require very high temperatures in converting the carved wax representation into the finished product. Crowns are fitted to a model of your mouth that is made at the time the teeth are prepared in your mouth. The crown is shaped and fitted to this model in the laboratory before the dentist tries it in your mouth. This process ensures that the crown will have a fit and appearance that will last for many years.
Bridges
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
Treatment usually requires from one to three appointments. During these treatments, your dentist removes the diseased pulp. The pulp chamber and root canal(s) of the tooth are then cleaned, shaped filled and sealed to prevent recontaminations of the root canal system. Root canal therapy usually is a relatively painless procedure. If your dentist anticipates that any special care is needed for successful treatment, he or she may refer you to a specialist called an Endodontist.

Dentures
Oral irrigating devices use a stream of water to remove food particles from around the teeth. These devices can be helpful for persons wearing orthodontic brands or fixed partial dentures. Oral irrigators are meant to enhance, not replace, regular brushing and flossing. A fluoride mouth rinse can help prevent tooth decay. Your dentist may recommend an antimicrobial mouth rinse to help control plaque and reduce gingivitis. Mouthwashes are primarily used to freshen breath. If you must constantly use breath freshener to hide unpleasant mouth odor, see your dentist. Bad breath can be a sign of poor health.

Dental Implants
The choice is yours, but there are many disadvantages to losing a tooth. When a tooth is removed and not replace the teeth next to the empty space begin to shift from their normal position. This may cause teeth to become crooked or crowded, which decreases chewing and biting efficiency. Crowded or crooked teeth may be more prone to dental disease because they are harder to keep clean than properly aligned teeth. As a result, other teethe may be lost if the missing tooth is not replaced. A replacement tooth ( an implant or a bridge ) is usually more expensive than endodontic treatment and involves more extensive dental procedures on adjacent teeth. Endodontic treatment can safely and comfortably save a tooth that otherwise would have to be removed. In fact, root canal therapy is successful approximately 95% of the time. Remember, a healthy restored tooth is always better than an artificial one.

Orthodontics
Enamel reshaping is a process of contouring natural teeth to improve their over all appearance. When teeth are slightly crowded or uneven, or when eyeteeth appear too long, enamel reshaping may be used to correct the flaw. Enamel reshaping involves modifying teeth by removing or contouring enamel to create harmony and balance in the mouth. This more conservative process cannot solve all problems though. Crowded teeth may need braces. If so, your dentist may provide treatment, or refer you to a specialist in orthodontics. Enamel reshaping, which is often combined with bonding, is usually quick and painless. No anesthesia is necessary when reshaping the enamel, and the results can be seen immediately. It should be approached with caution, however, because enamel cannot be replaced.
Braces
· If you have dental appliances such as orthodontic braces or bridgework, you should wear a mouth protector that has been fitted by a dentist.

Teeth Whitening
Although bleaching successfully lightens most discolorations, certain types ( like those caused by tetracycline) are more difficult to remove.
