General and Family Dentistry
We welcome patients of all ages and want to serve your entire family. Your family's oral health is our top priority.
Our Dieppe family dentist wants to serve your whole family to the best of our abilities. With that in mind, we have created a warm and family-friendly atmosphere that will help calm children and lead to easier and happy appointments.
Preventative dentistry at an early age is important. Making sure teeth come in and grow correctly can catch problems before they happen.
Also starting proper teeth hygiene at an early age is important to a lifetime of happy teeth. We take the time to educate our younger patients and impress on them the importance of oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing. Dentistry can be fun, and we aim to make it so.
Examinations
An initial oral examination has 3 parts; a visual exam for cavities and other abnormalities, x-rays to see inside the teeth and a measurement of your gingival tissue (gums).
We also assess for jaw issues (TMJ) and Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders.
Exams plays a key role in maintaining good oral health. The health of the mouth is linked to the body. Your dentist is trained to do comprehensive dental examination and diagnosis to identify early signs of disease in the mouth that could relate to other health issues, such as cancer.
Oral Hygiene/ Cleaning
Our hygienists can make your teeth shine and protect you from serious problems during a regular teeth cleaning.
A regular checkup and teeth cleaning can keep your smile shining and free from cavities.
At Dental Health Centre we think your teeth should always be at their best.
Oral cleaning helps to get rid of plaque buildup that brushing can’t. It also helps to spot problems in teeth before they get too bad. Keeping good oral hygiene also helps to whiten and strengthen your teeth.
Making a regular trip to your dentist for teeth cleaning should be as much a part of your dental hygiene routine as brushing and flossing.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a thin protective coating to protect the chewing surfaces of a tooth.
They act as a shield for bacteria and sticky foods. An experienced staff member will clean the surface of the tooth and proceed with the application of a varnish. Dental sealants are often applied to children’s teeth to help prevent decay on the teeth contact surfaces.
Sedation Dentistry
Do you need a little help to feel relaxed at the dentist? We can provide sedation dentistry that will ease all of your worries.
Sometimes being in a dental chair can be very stressful.
Many people experience this stress or anxiety when they contemplate undergoing dental treatments. It is nothing to be ashamed of.
Sedation dentistry is not about putting you under like before a surgery, but about relaxing you so your stay is easier. We use Nitrous Oxide, better known as laughing gas, to help ease your worries. Nitrous Oxide helps to relax you and can be delivered in a number of different quantities depended on how much help you need relaxing.
Our Dieppe sedation dentistry will put you in a sleepy, dream-like state that will allow the dental treatment to be performed with no undue stress or anxiety.
Oral Appliances:
Sports Mouthguards & Bruxism appliances
When your teeth are in harm's way they need protection. We can help with our guards and appliances.
Your teeth can be at risk of trauma while playing different sports. Teeth can also be damaged if you grind them while sleeping. These activities seem unconnected, but have similar remedies.
Sports Guards
One wrong bump or tumble during play can lead to a chipped or lost tooth. Sports Guards are fitted for the shape of your teeth and help to protect them the same way a shin guard would protect your shins.
Oral Appliances
At night some people clench or grind their teeth. This is actually a condition called "bruxism". It can cause serious problems to the surface of your teeth and even chip or crack them. Our oral appliances are comfortable enough to sleep with them in and they protect your teeth.
Teeth Extractions
Although permanent teeth were meant to last a lifetime, there are several reasons why a tooth extraction may be needed.
A very common reason involves a tooth that is too badly damaged, from trauma or decay, to be repaired. There may also be other reasons.
We also offer wisdom teeth extraction services.
If you're experiencing jaw pain and headaches, your wisdom teeth may be the cause. Dental Health Centre can provide you with wisdom teeth extraction.
Wisdom teeth grow in when you’re in your teens, but often become impacted. This means they do not grow straight through the gum like your other teeth, but tilted one way.
Wisdom teeth extraction is the process of removing those teeth so they do not damage the surrounding teeth and muscle. It may require a day or two of recovery and pain killers, but it is a necessary step in stopping the pain.
