Dental Check Up

Family Dentistry of Harrisburg provides dental check ups to assess if there is any damage on your teeth.

Checkups are done in an annual fashion and individualized depending on the needs of the patient.

Scaling and Root Planing

Allow our experienced dentists to restore your teeth’s quality through scaling and root planing or the removal of dental plaque.

Scaling pertains to the removal of foreign agents such as plaque and tartar that cause inflammation to the gum tissue. Root planing is the smoothening of the tooth to help it reattach to the gums.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are offered to shield the teeth from bacteria that can cause decay. These are cost effective and recommended to protect the pit and fissure area of your molars.

Sealants prevent plaque and tartar from staying in the tooth and shields it against tooth decay while still giving off a bright, natural smile.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride treatment is the application of fluoride to the teeth in order to restore its quality. Fluoride helps strengthen the enamel of the teeth and shields it against cavities by means of restoring lost nutrient.

Consumption of too much sugar can wear down the enamel which protects the teeth against decay and when this happens it is crucial that the tooth undergoes fluoride treatment to restore the enamel’s quality.

Gingivitis Treatments

Gum disease or gingivitis involves bacterial growth that surrounds the tissue of the gums. This growth is known as plaque and it can build up and irritate the gums.

Family Dentistry of Harrisburg offers treatment for gingivitis that is affordable and effective.

Tooth Decay

Tooth decay can lead to cavities causing pain and discomfort, eventually leading to tooth loss.

Our dentists advises patients to brush and floss regularly and regulate the intake of sugary foods. It is also recommended to visit your dentist for cleaning and check up.

Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity is caused by transmission of sensations by the denin or the calcified tissue covering of the tooth.

Triggers include excessive brushing, genetics and gum problems as well as dietary issues such as the intake of too much acid.
