Tooth Decay Prevention

The team at Bent Tree Dental does everything we can to ensure you keep cavities at bay. Some of our tooth decay services include:

  • Fluoride treatments: We offer both in-office fluoride varnish and at-home fluoride treatments to keep your enamel strong and prevent cavities. These concentrated fluoride treatments are used along with your regular fluoride toothpaste.
  • Tooth-colored fillings: If you have small to moderately sized cavities, we can use composite fillings to repair the damage. You will not need unsightly silver fillings; our fillings match your teeth and blend in seamlessly, plus they’re safe and mercury-free.
  • LANAP: No longer do you need painful gum surgery as a gum disease treatment. With our advanced LANAP laser system, we can painlessly treat your gum disease without sutures, stitches, or cutting. You’ll recover more quickly, too.
  • Dental Sealants: For children and adults who are cavity-prone, Dr. Miller may recommend sealants. These clear coatings are applied to the surface of your molars, where bacteria easily harbors in the grooves, to protect your teeth from decay.

Routine Dental Care Is Essential

Without routine dental care, your teeth may suffer from decay and gum disease. As you maintain your teeth, you limit your chances of having oral problems, and you increase your chances of good oral health. This will help you save yourself from future pain and expensive treatments down the road.

Plaque and tartar can build up on teeth quickly, and when they do, it leads to rapid tooth decay, enamel weakening, and gingivitis (early stage gum disease). When you work with the team at Rick Miller, DDS, we will help you keep plaque and tartar away. Dr. Miller is committed to making sure nothing is hiding under the surface.
