At Lawrenceville Dentistry, we offer a range of dental services to address different dental situations and promote optimal oral health. Our services can be categorized into three main areas: Preventive dentistry, Restorative dentistry, and Cosmetic dentistry.
Preventive Dentistry
Our primary focus is on preventive dentistry, aiming to help you establish and maintain optimal oral health. By prioritizing preventive measures, we can prevent potential oral health issues from arising. However, we also understand the importance of restorative and cosmetic dental procedures in addressing specific situations that compromise oral health, function, and comfort. Therefore, in addition to our preventive dental procedures, we provide comprehensive restorative and cosmetic services.
Dentistry for Kids
Establishing and maintaining optimal oral hygiene habits and oral health should begin early in life, even before all the permanent teeth have erupted. Many parents may wonder why dentistry for kids is vitally important, considering that babies don’t usually have teeth until several months old. However, it takes time for them to develop all their primary teeth, and even if these teeth suffer from injury or decay, they will eventually be replaced by permanent teeth.
Where teeth are lost due to injury or decay, the resultant gap must be closed as soon as possible in order to better preserve one’s oral structure, function and comfort. The main reason behind this is that where gaps occur in the mouth, the remaining natural teeth have a tendency to shift out of position in order to close the gap. Learn more
Proper oral hygiene habits are absolutely vital to both your oral and your overall health. These habits help to ensure the routine removal of the dental plaque that contributes to tooth decay and gum disease. This plaque contains harmful bacteria that, if it enters the bloodstream, can make its way to other areas of the body and cause extensive illness, disease and problems. Learn more
Of all the dental treatments your dentist performs, the ones they find to be the most beneficial to protecting, strengthening and maintaining your oral and overall health are preventive in nature. Preventive dentistry is the branch of general dentistry that is dedicated to helping individuals care for their teeth and mouths in such a way that they maintain optimal oral health.Learn more
There are several key considerations for parents regarding their child's dental health:
- Good oral health includes the health of gums and the entire oral cavity, even before teeth erupt.
- Harmful oral bacteria can pose a risk to a child's oral health as soon as primary teeth begin to erupt.
- Healthy primary teeth lay the foundation for healthy permanent teeth.
- Well-established oral hygiene habits in youth make it easier to maintain throughout life.
Bridges
At Lawrenceville Dentistry, we dedicate ourselves to helping children embark on their journey towards good oral health and hygiene in a comfortable and reassuring environment. We tailor our dental services for kids to meet their unique needs, ensuring that we provide well-rounded care for their oral health.
Custom Sports Mouthguards
Participating in sports activities is enjoyable and healthy, but it's important to take proper precautions to ensure safety. Among the various types of protective gear recommended for sports with potential falls and impacts, custom sports mouthguards are essential.
Athletes wear custom sports mouthguards over their upper teeth to offer protection to the teeth, tongue, inner cheeks, and other oral soft tissues during face or head impacts. Unlike store-bought stock or boil-and-bite mouthguards, dental professionals specifically make custom mouthguards based on your teeth impressions. This guarantees a proper fit, optimal protection, and ensures comfort without inhibiting breathing or speaking.
Emergency Services
While we hope to never experience a dental emergency, it's reassuring to know that reliable emergency dental services are available. Despite our best efforts to protect our dental health, emergencies can occur, requiring urgent care. Some common dental emergencies include chipped or broken teeth, knocked out teeth, injury or damage to the oral cavity, and even a broken jaw.
Even if a dental emergency is not severe and doesn't require immediate care, it's wise to contact your dentist as soon as possible. This allows for prompt mitigation of damage and restoration of good oral health in the smoothest and quickest manner possible. Trust Lawrenceville Dentistry to provide the emergency care you need during those unexpected situations.
