Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Six-month dental checkups and cleanings are the recommendation of the American Dental Association and Dr. Lundgren. To ensure the health of your teeth and gums, we will conduct a visual exam and thorough teeth cleaning, checking for problem areas that need further treatment. We’ll also perform an oral cancer screening to determine if any abnormalities exist that warrant additional testing from a local physician. These visits are pivotal to the future of your oral and overall health.
Children’s Dentistry
Dr. Lundgren is pleased to welcome families to Cosmetic Coast Dental Spa, which offers children’s dentistry. Performing regular dental checkups and cleanings for young patients, she can help establish good oral hygiene habits from an early age and reduce the risk of cavities and dental decay as a child grows. By offering this service, families can enjoy greater convenience when it comes to taking better care of their smiles.
Fluoride Treatment
Found in foods, tap water, and toothpaste, fluoride is a natural mineral that dentists rely on to protect teeth against harmful decay. While most patients receive enough daily exposure, others who are prone to cavities often need additional help. With fluoride treatment at our Wilmington dental office, we can quickly apply the solution to the surfaces of teeth so that a protective barrier remains between the enamel and bad bacteria.
Dental Sealants
Although commonly recommended for children, adults, too, can benefit from dental sealants. Back teeth contain small pits and crevices that trap bacteria and food particles. Without timely and proper oral hygiene, it can be difficult to prevent the spread of decay. However, with dental sealants, these thin plastic coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces so that food and other dangerous bacteria do not penetrate.
Athletic Mouthguards/ Sportsguards
Just as the head needs a helmet and shoulders need proper padding, the mouth also needs adequate protection. Dr. Lundgren and our team are here to provide customized athletic mouthguards/sportsguards for the avid athletes in your family. Unlike the one-size-fits-all options found at local sporting goods stores, ours fit comfortably because of the personalized impressions taken in our office and used to fabricate the oral device. When worn correctly, it absorbs pressure and prevents dental damage that would normally result in a trip to the emergency dentist’s office.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Jaw pain, worn-down tooth enamel, and morning headaches are all common problems that can occur when suffering from bruxism. Known more commonly as teeth grinding, this unhealthy habit often happens at night, while a person is asleep. With a custom nightguard, we can keep the upper and lower rows of teeth from touching so that enamel remains protected and jaw joints experience relief from continuous pressure.
