We offer the following preventive care services at our Jacksonville, FL dental office:
Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis)
To keep your teeth healthy in between appointments, Dr. Makary recommends that all patients receive dental cleanings at least twice a year to prevent disease or other oral health issues from arising. Depending on the current state of your oral health, she may recommend more frequent, targeted cleanings.
For each dental cleanings, our team uses the latest dental tools to provide quick, comfortable care, banishing plaque along the way. We'll then polish the teeth to help remove stains and discoloration, and may recommend an additional fluoride treatment to help strengthen the teeth.
Nightguards For TMJ Pain
Do you experience teeth grinding (bruxism) while you sleep? It could lead to headaches, TMJ, and uneven tooth wear. We offer advanced, custom-made night guards to correct the problem and preserve your healthy teeth, while keeping bite-related headaches at bay!
Mouthguards For Athletics
For patients who are involved any type of sports, smile protection is critical! One of the best pieces of insurance for any athlete is a simple athletic mouthguard. Our mouthguards are customized to every patient, providing superior protection of the teeth against injury and concussions.
Periodontal Therapy (Deep Cleaning)
Our team offers periodontal "deep cleaning," also known as scaling and root planing (SRP). Deep cleaning below the gum line and smoothing the surface of the tooth are common procedures for banishing gingivitis. Scaling and root planing also removes the bacteria, plaque, and acid buildup that can cause gum inflammation. At Northpoint Dental, each gentle SRP is designed to restore and promote healthier teeth and gums, while preventing all stages of gum disease.
Desensitizing Treatments For Sensitive Teeth
If you are sensitive to hot and cold, don't let it keep you from enjoying the foods you love! Our dentist will perform a gentle consultation to determine the cause of the symptoms and provide a treatment designed to remove the sensitivity for months. She'll also offer guidance on how to keep your sensitivity at bay in between regular appointments.
