At Huntsville Family Dental, we want to do everything possible to keep your teeth as healthy as possible. Some of the best ways to maintain your oral health are through regular dental hygiene appointments, checkups, and preventative programs biannually. Our preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the teeth’s natural dentition and supporting structures for a lifelong healthy, beautiful smile.
In addition, Dr. Keyshla Escobar offers general dentistry services in our Huntsville, TX, office to ensure that patients maintain good oral health. We also provide general dental services for preventative treatments.
General Dentistry in Huntsville, TX
Preventative dental care is a part of general dentistry and helps keep the teeth and gums healthy. We combine simple preventive measures to keep the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions at bay. Regular visits will include:
- Custom Mouthguard: Custom mouthguards offer a precise fit for individuals taking part in amateur or professional sports. They protect against injuries like tooth fractures and jaw damage.
- Emergency Dentistry: Dental emergencies usually include severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth requiring immediate attention. In these instances, you should see an emergency dentist as soon as possible to save a tooth, prevent further damage, and alleviate extreme pain.
- Family Dentistry: Family dentistry focuses on dental care the entire family through preventive care, routine check-ups, and tailored treatment plans. Family dental care is beneficial for patients of all ages. Our office provides routine exams, X-rays, and basic cleanings and fillings for adults and children.
- Sedation Dentistry: Dental sedation refers to dentists using sedative medications to help patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures. We use sedation for patients who experience anxiety, fear, or discomfort with dental work. Sedation dentistry also allows dentists to complete necessary dental procedures more efficiently.
- Tooth Extraction: Tooth extraction involves removing a tooth through a simple procedure for visible teeth or surgically below the surface. We recommend extractions when a tooth is beyond repair due to damage, disease, or overcrowding. Patients often require tooth extractions for issues like severe tooth decay and impacted wisdom teeth. Some patients may also want an extraction to create space for orthodontic treatment.
- Exams: A comprehensive dental exam is essential to boost overall health and is performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit.
- X-rays: Dental radiographs are essential, preventative diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. We use X-rays to ensure that patients are in good oral health and to help plan treatment.
- Cleanings: Your home care and daily routines are essential in achieving a beautiful, healthy, winning smile that lasts a lifetime. Our hygienists use specialized dental tools at routine appointments to remove bacterial buildup from the mouth.
- Oral Cancer Screening: An oral cancer screening is a simple procedure to detect early signs of mouth/oral cancer. Talk to us during cleaning to get your screening.
