Periodontics

Periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more than just an unsightly smile—it can cause loss of teeth & if left untreated, other more serious health problems. Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that attack your mouth’s soft tissues.

Early Warning Signs of Gingivitis

If caught early, we can help you reverse the damage of gingivitis. If detected late, we can use one of the many effective restorative dentistry procedures to restore your mouth to its healthy, beautiful state. Let Ajax Family Dentistry help you keep your teeth & gums strong & disease-free with regular examinations & cleanings.

Sealants & Fluoride Treatments

Tooth decay, otherwise known as cavities, can be a significant problem for children as well as adults. There are numerous factors that lead to tooth decay & there are many ways to prevent it. With the use of sealants, we can cover the deep grooves in your back teeth & extend their life while helping to prevent bacteria from entering these groove thereby decreasing the chance cavities occurring. Fluoride treatments also help to strengthen the teeth to aid in the prevention of decay in teeth.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, if not removed, can become problematic, resulting in pain, infection & other dental problems. But getting them removed doesn’t have to be an ordeal.

Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the very back of your mouth that usually come in around ages 17-20. Most patients will be able to feel when wisdom teeth start to come in. When this happens, it’s important to come visit us as soon as you can. We will take updated x-rays & visually inspect the area where your wisdom teeth are coming in. If we determine that you should undergo wisdom teeth extraction, we will create a treatment plan for you.

The details of the wisdom teeth removal procedure vary greatly from one patient to another. Generally, it is a straightforward oral surgery that has a recovery time of only a few days. Most wisdom teeth extractions require some form of sedation & anesthesia, so we will work with you to figure out which form of sedation & pain control is right for you. Once you have had your wisdom teeth removed, you’ll be back to eating your favorite foods in a few days & you won’t have to worry about your wisdom teeth causing problems in the future.

Our skilled staff will make the procedure as easy on you as possible. Call today for your appointment & more details.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Early detection is key in the battle against cancer & this is no different with oral cancer. Even if you don’t smoke, keep in mind that 25% of oral cancer diagnoses are for non-smokers. It’s important that every patient receive a simple & pain-free oral cancer screening from Dr. Badhwar and his staff. Remember that when caught early, oral cancer has an 80-90% survival rate. So don’t put off your oral cancer screening another minute!
