Our General Dentistry Services

At Kidder Dental, we believe in the power of preventive care and early intervention. Our general dentistry services are designed to help patients of all ages maintain optimal oral health, preventing common dental problems like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Whether you visit us for a routine checkup or require a more specialized procedure, our goal is to provide gentle, effective, and personalized care.

Professional Dental Cleanings & Exams

Routine cleanings and exams are the foundation of good oral health. During your visit, we:

Remove plaque and tartar buildup
Check for cavities, gum disease, and oral infections
Perform digital X-rays to detect hidden dental issues
Offer personalized oral hygiene recommendations

For the best results, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends professional cleanings every six months.

Dental Sealants for
Cavity Prevention

Dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection against cavities, especially for children and teens. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, where food particles and bacteria tend to collect.

Sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by up to 80%, making them an excellent preventive option for young patients and adults prone to decay.

Fluoride Treatments for Stronger Teeth

A fluoride treatment helps remineralize tooth enamel, protecting against cavities and reversing early signs of decay. This treatment is especially beneficial for:

Patients with a history of cavities
Individuals with sensitive teeth
Those who consume acidic foods or drinks frequently

We incorporate fluoride into routine dental cleanings to help keep your teeth strong and healthy.

Oral Cancer Screenings
for Early Detection

Oral cancer screenings are an essential part of your regular dental exams. Early detection can significantly increase survival rates, making it crucial to check for:

Unusual lumps, sores, or white patches in the mouth
Chronic sore throat or hoarseness
Difficulty chewing or swallowing

This quick, painless screening can help detect oral cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages.

Why Regular Dental Visits Matter

Skipping routine dental visits can lead to undetected dental problems that worsen over time. By maintaining regular checkups, you can:

  • Prevent tooth decay and gum disease
  • Detect oral health issues early before they become severe
  • Avoid costly and complex dental procedures in the future
  • Maintain fresher breath and a healthier smile

Good oral health is also linked to better overall health, reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other medical conditions. If you’re experiencing tooth pain, gum bleeding, or sensitivity, don’t wait—schedule an appointment at Kidder Dental today!
