Lake Minnetonka Family Dentistry provides a wonderful dental experience for families and individuals. We provide regular cleanings, as well as preventive treatments such as dental exams, x-rays, sealants, and fluoride. Regular visits to the dentist are essential to your overall oral hygiene, and we make sure to do the necessary treatments to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.
Our Dental Hygienists will provide routine dental cleaning during your regular scheduled visit. We recommend coming to us at least twice a year for scheduled cleaning. We remove all plaque, tarter, as well as floss, polish and brush your teeth before applying a fluoride treatment. We also inspect your teeth and gums for decay, cavities, and diseases.
Maintenance for your teeth, gums, and overall oral health is not just during your visit to the dentist, but also when you are at home. We recommend brushing your teeth twice a day, as well as flossing your teeth daily. It also important to rinse your mouth after brushing, as well as after meals. If you notice concerns with your teeth, or experiencing pain, be sure to contact our dentist right away.
Lake Minnetonka Family Dentistry can handle gum therapy for patients that are experiencing issues with periodontal disease. We specialize in gum treatments, as well as issues with the bone that supports the teeth. Periodontal disease begins with patients that have red, swollen, and bleeding gums. Periodontal disease is very important to treat, as it can be linked to other health risks such as stroke, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and bacterial pneumonia. If periodontal disease has advanced, we provide a special treatment called scaling and root planning, which is a deep cleaning of the entire gums and other surfaces. We can treat periodontal disease and get your gums on the right track.
