Night Guards
Most patients do not realize they suffer from bruxism, which often leads to damaged or sensitive teeth. Dr. Cary can help diagnose this condition and recommend treatment to help mitigate it, such as a night guard, an oral appliance worn at night. Night guards are usually recommended for patients who suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) at night.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer includes cancers of the lips, tongue, floor of the mouth, cheeks, throat (pharynx), sinuses, and hard and soft palate. While oral cancer is treatable when detected early, most cases are not detected until they have progressed into a more severe and advanced stage. Catching oral cancer early on is just one of many reasons to schedule regular visits at Lexington Dental of Owasso.
Scaling & Root Planing
While several factors can contribute to gum disease, the primary cause is a buildup of plaque and tartar on the surfaces of your teeth, including the roots. Our team recommends scaling and root planing if you have a more severe periodontal disease. This treatment is a deep cleaning treatment that removes damaging bacteria from beneath the gum line.
Sports Mouth Guards
Athletic mouth guards are designed to prevent mouth injuries, such as chipped, knocked-out, or loose teeth, custom-tailored to fit your mouth with comfort and ease. They also help protect the soft tissues of your mouth from damage and reduce the likelihood of biting your tongue, cutting your cheeks or lips, and damaging your gums. These oral appliances fit over your teeth and form a barrier against outside contact.
TMJ Treatment
Are you experiencing head, neck, or shoulder pain or having problems moving your jaw? It’s time to get screened for TMJ. TMJ, or TMD, is a disorder caused by the joint that connects to the lower jaw becoming injured or shifting out of place, causing discomfort and misalignment. This often happens due to teeth grinding (bruxism), arthritis, and head, neck, or jaw injury. TMJ therapy, also known as a temporomandibular joint treatment, is focused on correcting a misaligned jaw.
Tooth Extractions
At Lexington Dental of Owasso, we want to help you keep your natural teeth for life. However, there may be times when Dr. Cary suggests visiting our office for a tooth extraction (removal of teeth). Tooth extraction is a last-resort dental treatment after determining that your teeth cannot be repaired with traditional dental restorations, such as dental fillings, dental inlays or onlays, or dental crowns.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Almost everyone deals with wisdom teeth at some point in life, and if that time has come for you or someone in your home, then it is time to call Lexington Dental of Owasso. Wisdom teeth are commonly known as third molars and are often the last teeth to erupt from the gumline. As such, the mouth usually does not have enough space for the wisdom teeth to grow correctly. If the wisdom teeth cannot fit, Dr. Cary may recommend having your wisdom teeth removed to avoid complications.
