Cleanings, Exams, and Oral Cancer Screenings

At Ponderosa Family Dental, we take care of every grin in your crew. Regular checkups with us include professional cleanings, thorough exams, and even oral cancer screenings (for our grown-up family members). We follow the American Dental Association's recommendation of having professional cleaning or exam at least twice-yearly visits to prevent problems before they start.

Dentistry for Kids

Give your child a bright start with healthy teeth! Professional dental care for kids is the key to your child's oral health journey. 

We recommend scheduling their first visit to their pediatric dentist by their first birthday or even when their first tooth erupts. These early appointments allow us to gently monitor their oral development and catch any potential issues early on.

Remember, developmental problems are much easier to address when they're small! By establishing a strong foundation for your child's oral health from the beginning, you're setting them up for a lifetime of confident smiles and healthy teeth.

Periodontal Care

Healthy gums are necessary for a brilliant smile, like a solid foundation for a beautiful house. With our comprehensive approach to gum care, periodontal disease—the primary reason for tooth loss—can be prevented. Visit your experienced periodontist for advice on preventing periodontal disease, which is a very straightforward procedure.

At Ponderosa, we offer preventive and periodontal care for gum issues. Through regular checkups and cleanings, we can identify any signs of gum issues early on, preventing them from escalating into a more serious issue.

Mouthguard

Are you waking up with jaw discomfort? These could be signs of teeth grinding (bruxism) at night. Teeth grinding can damage your teeth, cause jaw pain, and even disrupt your sleep.

At Ponderosa, we offer custom-made night guards to comfortably fit your mouth and prevent teeth from grinding while you sleep. A night guard or mouthguard acts as a protective cushion, absorbing the pressure and preventing your teeth from grinding together.

TMJ

Having trouble chewing or experiencing jaw pain? It could be a sign of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Your TMJ is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull, allowing it to move smoothly when you eat, talk, and yawn. TMJ disorders (TMD) can cause discomfort and limit your jaw movement, making everyday activities like enjoying your favorite foods a challenge.

At Ponderosa Family Dental, we offer TMJ treatment designed to alleviate the symptoms associated with TMJ disorders.
