Preventive Dentistry – Claremore, OK

Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings

Tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and bite misalignment are all potential oral health problems that can be detected during a dental checkup and teeth cleaning appointment. Every six months, our dental team will thoroughly examine your smile before clearing away hardened plaque and tartar around your teeth and gums. If we detect any issues, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan to help get your smile back on track.

Gum Disease Treatment

When gum tissue becomes inflamed as a result of bacterial infection, our team can implement gum disease treatment to minimize the damage to your oral and overall health. By offering scaling and root planing as well as antibiotic therapy, we can target bad oral bacteria and work to encourage reattachment and healing for better gum health in the future.

Children's Dentistry

At Battle Family Dentistry of Claremore, we are pleased to see patients of all ages. Young smiles deserve optimal care just as much as adults, which is why Dr. Battle and our team are committed to examining, cleaning, and monitoring the growth and development of your child’s teeth and gums. We’ll not only work to prevent and eliminate cavities, but we’ll also incorporate ways to improve oral hygiene habits at home so that their smiles remain in good shape between appointments.

Oral Cancer Screening

With more than 50,000 diagnosed cases each year, oral cancer can be a devastating disease. However, with oral cancer screenings, we can provide early detection, which is essential to ensuring a higher survival rate. We will check your mouth and throat during your normal checkup, looking for any abnormalities. If problem areas are found, we will refer you to a local physician for further testing while also remaining by your side throughout treatment.

Fluoride Treatment

As a natural mineral found in tap water, various foods, and toothpaste brands, fluoride is proven effective in strengthening tooth enamel and combatting harmful decay. While more commonly used on young smiles, children and adults can benefit from in-house fluoride treatments. Our team will apply topical fluoride to your teeth during a normal checkup. Not only is the process painless, but it takes little time to apply, keeping your teeth better protected in between appointments.

Dental Sealants

Children often have the hardest time cleaning hard-to-reach molars and premolars. Without proper care, these teeth can trap bad bacteria in their pits and grooves. With dental sealants, we can offer greater protection to these chewing surfaces. By applying the clear coating over the surfaces of teeth, a barrier is created to keep bacteria and food debris from penetrating the enamel.

Nightguards for Bruxism

Teeth clenching and grinding is also referred to as bruxism, and it can lead to worn-down tooth enamel and chronic jaw pain. But with a customized nightguard created by our Battle Family Dentistry of Claremore team, we can protect your smile. Fabricated to fit your mouth, this device serves as a barrier between teeth so that they do not touch while you’re asleep. You’ll notice that you sleep better and experience little to no pain throughout your jaw and facial structure.
