Diagnostic radiographs detect decay or bone loss, and show Dr. Kohli the exact position of your teeth and their roots. This simple method, a tiny sensor placed inside the mouth, exposes you to less radiation than traditional x-rays. We’ll perform an oral cancer screening of your gums, lips, and face; and a thorough gum disease evaluation of soft tissues and bone. We will also examine the condition of existing restorations. We use only non-metal, tooth-colored filling material that look extremely natural. This material is ideal for patients who dislike having metal restorations which contain mercury in their mouth.
We build a good rapport with your little one, gently examining the mouth and talking about importance of brushing and flossing. We recommend dental sealants to prevent childhood tooth decay in molars by filling pits and grooves in the enamel. This clear coating is easy to apply, simply painted onto the teeth and dried.
We demonstrate correct brushing and flossing techniques, answer questions on maintaining dental health, and make sure you understand what causes tooth decay and gum disease.
