Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Our dental checkups and cleanings are recommended every six months for all patients unless otherwise instructed. Comprised of a thorough examination that is performed by Dr. Flynn or Dr. Huntley, they will check for any signs of infection or damage as well as perform an oral cancer screening. Patients can also expect a professional cleaning that includes removing plaque and tartar from their teeth and gums and a complete explanation of any treatment plan that is recommended to improve their oral health.
Children’s Dentistry
Young patients often need a caring and gentle approach when it comes to their smiles, and that is what families can expect when bringing their children in to see us at Boulder Rock Dental. As smiles grow, they need close monitoring to reduce the chances of dental decay and bite misalignment. By offering children’s dentistry at our Palm Coast office, our team can deliver preventive solutions to help lower the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other similar dental issues.
Fluoride Treatment
Patients who are prone to developing cavities will find that additional fluoride treatment is a beneficial way to safeguard their smile. Capable of fighting off dental decay and remineralizing existing tooth enamel, fluoride offers greater protection against harmful bacteria and food particles. When applied during a regular dental checkup, the process takes only minutes yet leaves teeth shielded between appointments.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are an effective way to combat cavities, especially among young patients. Designed to cover the chewing surfaces of back teeth (i.e., molars and premolars), the barrier reduces the risk of food particles and bacteria penetrating the enamel and causing cavities to form. These teeth have small pits and grooves that make them vulnerable; however, with dental sealants, a child’s teeth can remain better protected while they work to improve their brushing habits over time.
