Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a naturally derived mineral that’s produced by rocks and found in a variety of natural items, like the soil, air, and even fresh fruits and vegetables. Most people are familiar with it because it’s also added to community water sources for its ability to prevent cavity development. If you or your child aren’t receiving enough fluoride in your daily diet, we can supplement it by applying a fluoridated varnish to your teeth.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a completely pain-free treatment that can help prevent cavities from developing by providing long-term protection to molars. Dr. Nobles will paint a clear seal over the biting surface of molars and harden them. This will keep food debris and bacteria from building up in their nooks and crannies, leading to tartar accumulation and cavity development with time. A wonderful benefit of sealants is that they can continue protecting your teeth for years down the road.
Athletic Mouthguards / Sportsguards
If you or your child participates in contact sports or hobbies that could damage your smile, Dr. Nobles offers custom-crafted mouthguards to provide your precious teeth with much-needed protection. They’re crafted from a flexible, cushioning acrylic that’s both durable and impact-reducing to minimize your chances of needing emergency dental care due to an accident. The process is quick and easy and the sportsguards themselves are absolutely priceless.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Do you wake up with a headache or stiff jaw? Bruxism, more commonly known as teeth grinding, can not only wear down your teeth, but also put them at risk of becoming damaged and decayed by destroying your protective enamel. With time, this condition can also lead to other issues, like TMJ disorder. To protect your teeth, Dr. Nobles can fabricate a customized nightguard to keep them from being able to grind against each other as you sleep.
