Dental Checkups & Cleanings
We recommend that you visit our office every six months for routine checkups and cleanings. Dental cleanings are performed by our highly qualified hygienists who will carefully remove accumulated plaque and tartar from your teeth. Our dental checkups are conducted by Dr. Shevy who will thoroughly examine your mouth to check for cavities, infection, damage, ill-fitting restorations, gum disease, and even oral cancer. If we find any problem areas that need to be addressed, we will create a personalized treatment plan and go over it with you before you leave.
Children’s Dentistry
Apart from assisting adults and seniors with their oral healthcare needs, Dr. Shevy also welcomes young patients into our West Palm Beach dental office. Delivering gentle and compassionate care to these young smiles, she can establish a positive relationship early on and encourage good oral hygiene habits at home. In addition, we’ll use preventive solutions to minimize the risk of cavities as well as closely monitor the development of their bite, ensuring everything remains in proper alignment as they grow.
Gum Disease Treatment
When the soft oral tissues that protect your tooth roots become infected, it’s important that we provide gum disease treatment to remove the bacteria. With scaling and root planing, we can eliminate plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline as well as reshape and smooth out the roots of teeth to encourage proper healing and reattachment. This level of periodontal (gum) maintenance will help keep your smile looking its best as well as protect against tooth loss.
Fluoride Treatment
Administered during a regular six-month checkup and cleaning, fluoride treatment is beneficial for anyone who might be prone to developing cavities. As a natural mineral commonly found in toothpaste and tap water, it helps neutralize harmful acids while also strengthening tooth enamel and protecting against dental decay. The process takes only minutes, as we will apply the fluoride to the surface of each tooth – a measure that will safeguard your smile in between your six-month appointments.
Dental Sealants
All teeth are vulnerable to dental decay; however, those located toward the back of the mouth (molars and premolars) are often more at risk. Containing many pits and grooves, they can benefit from extra protection, especially with children, as they can find it hard to reach this part of their mouth while brushing. With dental sealants, we can apply a clear coating over these teeth, creating a tight barrier that keeps bacteria and harmful food particles from penetrating and causing cavities.
