Dental Hygiene Appointments
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to keep your teeth healthy and free from decay. At Herring Cove Community Dentistry, we offer dental hygiene appointments with our experienced hygienists to ensure a thorough cleaning of your teeth.
Root Canals
If you have cavities in your teeth, they can provide an entry point for bacteria to enter the dental pulp. This can lead to tooth infections. An infected tooth tends to worsen over time, so your dentist will perform a root canal to bring your tooth back to health.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a thin plastic coating that is applied to the chewing surface of the teeth. They help prevent food particles from becoming trapped in the grooves of the teeth and causing dental decay. Sealants are suggested for children once their adult teeth have grown in, but they are also commonly recommended for adults too.
Tooth Extraction
While we work hard to maintain the health of your teeth and offer a wide range of services to protect and restore them, there are times when a tooth extraction may be necessary. Your dentist will only suggest an extraction when no other solution exists and the damage to your tooth cannot be fixed.
Dental X-Rays
In addition to a visual inspection, your dentist will take X-rays to detect any underlying issues that might be developing below the gum line. Our dental practice uses digital X-rays, which are fast, efficient, and provide highly detailed images of your teeth and jawbone. With digital X-rays, we can quickly identify any potential problems and provide the necessary treatment.
Oral Cancer Screening
An oral cancer screening is an essential aspect of your yearly dental exam. Your doctor will perform a visual inspection of your mouth to detect any abnormalities and discolouration. They will also palpate the mouth tissues to assess for any unusual lumps. If you notice any abnormalities in your mouth, we recommend visiting your dentist for a check-up.
