See our full range of general and preventive dentistry services we have available to you in our dental office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dental Exams<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

During your routinely visit with us, our first course of action will be your dental exam. We conduct dental exams to identify potential dental problems in your mouth that you may not know existed. In its early stages, tooth decay is not usually visible to most naked eyes. This means a small cavity can quickly grow into a major problem if it weren\u2019t for dental exams. To detect problems like early signs of decay or cavities, we take dental x-rays. This gives us an inside look of what\u2019s occurring in your mouth that we can\u2019t see. Once we detect any problems, we can give them the necessary treatment to prevent them from growing worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only do we search for dental decay during your dental exams, but we look for other problems like chips or <\/a>cracks in your teeth, bad fillings, gum disease, signs of oral cancer and signs of bruxism. If you have any pain or concerns, you can bring them up with Dr. Gohard during your dental exam. Routine dental exams can help prevent serious problems from occurring and allow you to receive early and minimally invasive dental care.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dental X-Rays<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the most components of your dental exam is the dental x-ray portion. At A Healthy Smile Dentistry, we take digital x-rays of our patient\u2019s teeth to diagnose problems and to plan more effective treatments. A digital x-ray gives us a full picture of what\u2019s going on in your teeth so that we can act sooner to treat your teeth. Getting dental x-rays taken in today\u2019s day and age is fast and completely comfortable while also exposing you to less radiation than before. See the difference of digital x-rays at your next appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Dental Cleanings<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Also included in your routine visit with us, dental cleanings are crucial for fighting off harmful plaque and tartar. They begin with Dr. Gohard using a dental instrument to scrape away stuck on plaque and tartar from your teeth and under your gum lines. Next, our dental hygienist will polish your teeth to remove surface stains and any remaining plaque from your teeth. Our hygienist will floss your teeth and <\/a>give you some mouthwash to rinse your mouth with. If it\u2019s been a while since your last dental cleaning, we may recommend that you receive a deep cleaning or root scaling and planing to better protect you from gum disease and decay. We recommend that our patients visit us every 6 months for best results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dental Hygiene<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

During your visit with us at A Healthy Smile Dentistry, our team will provide you with the education you need about oral health you need to maintain a healthy smile at home. This begins with brushing and flossing regularly at home. If we notice a lot of extra plaque in one area of your mouth, we will show you how to brush correctly and notify you of the spot you\u2019re missing. You should be brushing at least twice a day, in the morning and at night to maintain a healthy smile. In addition, flossing once per day is necessary for preventing gum disease and cavities. If you need help picking out the best toothbrush whether manual or electric or picking floss you feel comfortable using, ask our dental hygienist for help. Implementing proper dental hygiene care in your daily life can help you preserve your smile for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

Composite Fillings<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Our Florham Park dentist office prides itself on only offering metal-free dental restorations. Among these restorations includes fillings. As an alternative to metal fillings, we offer composite fillings. Composite fillings not only look natural, but they are stronger and don\u2019t contain any potentially harmful mercury like amalgam fillings. Whether you need a cavity filled or would like to replace your metal fillings, our dentist is happy to provide you with composite fillings to restore your teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Root Canals<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Although many people fear the thought of a root canal, you have nothing to worry about at A Healthy Smile Dentistry. Root canals are not a painful procedure; your tooth, however, might be in a great deal of pain prior to your procedure because your tooth is infected. Root canal therapy is the best way to treat this pain and prevent your tooth from needing an extraction. Ask Dr. Gohard if a root canal is the best treatment option for your tooth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Periodontics<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Periodontics is the field of dentistry that looks after your gum health. During your dental exams, Dr. Gohard will <\/a>examine your gum health and determine whether or not periodontics is necessary for you. If you show any signs of gum disease, you will require a periodontics treatment to restore your mouth back to health. Gum disease is common in most adults over the age of 45. Gum disease can be avoided with proper oral health care.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geriatric Dentistry<\/h2>\n

Aging is a normal process of life and with every age group comes a different area of dentistry that becomes important. Older patients of ours fall into the geriatric dentistry category. This field of dentistry explores the different options for retaining as well as replacing missing teeth. It’s normal for elderly people to stop seeing the dentist regularly as they age which can have some lifelong effects. Geriatric dentistry in Florham Park can help resolve all problems the elderly generation face with their teeth. Whether you need preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry, an extraction, or tooth replacement like dentures, our dentist can help you restore your teeth back to health.<\/p>\n
