Checkups, Cleanings & Whitening

Keep Your Family in Check with Healthy Dental Hygiene Habits & Check-Ups for Everyone in the Family
Dental exams are beneficial for everyone in the family, mom, and dad too. They should be performed by our dentist at John B Webster DDS annually. If you notice anyone in the family complaining of a toothache or if you are inspecting your child’s mouth and notice a dark-colored tooth or swollen gums, it could be signs of a cavity or rotting tooth. Bring them in for a checkup. Children are way more susceptible to cavities than adults because they do not have their adult teeth. They also eat more snacks, cereals and other foods that have added sugars. 

Teeth Cleaning

Our dental specialists at John B Webster DDS recommend teeth cleanings for everyone in the family, including mom and dad every six months. If you notice anyone in the family complaining of a toothache or if you are inspecting your child’s mouth and notice a dark-colored tooth or swollen gums, it could be signs of a cavity or rotting tooth. Bring them in for a checkup.

Teeth Whitening 

No matter your dental hygiene habits, or how many times you brush your teeth, it can be hard to achieve those brilliantly white teeth you see on television. At John B Wester DDS, we believe the key to a whiter smile is the use of whitening trays. This method requires you to have impressions of your teeth taken to create custom trays. You will place a gel in the trays and wear anywhere from 3 hours to overnight. The entire whitening process takes 3-4 weeks of daily use. There are different strengths of the gel available, but a stronger gel is more likely to cause you to have sensitive teeth. The tray method is beneficial for heavily stained teeth, but it may take several weeks before you see significant improvement. The trays can be used prolongingly every several months, to maintain white teeth.
