Preventive Dentistry

Fluoride

Fluoride treatment is a preventive dental procedure that strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. At Conlin Dentistry, we offer professional fluoride applications tailored to individual needs. The treatment involves applying a concentrated fluoride solution to the teeth, which helps remineralize weakened enamel and prevent cavities.

This treatment is especially beneficial for children, individuals with a history of dental decay, or those at higher risk due to dietary habits or medical conditions. The procedure is quick, painless, and can be performed during a routine dental visit. Depending on the patient’s risk factors, fluoride treatments may be recommended every three, six, or twelve months.

In addition to in-office treatments, our dental professionals may suggest fluoride-containing products for at-home use, such as toothpaste or mouth rinses. Incorporating fluoride treatments into your dental care regimen at Conlin Dentistry is an effective way to maintain strong, healthy teeth and prevent future dental issues.

Mouthguards & Retainers

Mouth guards are protective devices designed to safeguard teeth and gums from injury during physical activities or prevent damage from teeth grinding (bruxism). At Conlin Dentistry, we provide custom-fitted mouth guards tailored to each patient’s unique dental structure, ensuring optimal comfort and protection.

For athletes, especially those participating in contact sports, mouth guards are essential in preventing dental injuries like chipped or broken teeth. Similarly, individuals who grind their teeth at night benefit from night guards, which protect against enamel wear, jaw pain, and other complications associated with bruxism.

The process of obtaining a custom mouth guard involves taking an impression of your teeth, which is then used to fabricate a device that fits snugly and comfortably. Unlike over-the-counter options, custom mouth guards from Conlin Dentistry offer superior fit, durability, and effectiveness, providing peace of mind during sports or sleep.
