Dental Checkups & Cleanings
The American Dental Association, as well as our team at Hogue Family Dentistry, recommends visiting your dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning. These visits help prevent and treat the early signs of oral health concerns before they have a chance to progress, helping you maintain a whole, healthy smile throughout your life.
Nightguards for Bruxism
If you wake up with a headache regularly throughout the week or have been noticing that your teeth look flat and ground-down, it’s likely that you have bruxism, which is the involuntary grinding and clenching of your teeth when you sleep. It can lead to broken and cracked teeth, tooth loss, and even jaw pain and dysfunction. We offer customized nightguards for you to wear to protect your jaw and teeth when you sleep, preventing cascading oral health problems caused by bruxism.
Oral Cancer Screenings
At each of your bi-annual checkups, our team will also complete a quick and thorough oral cancer screening. We’ll examine the inside of your mouth, as well as your neck and lips, in search of any signs of abnormalities that may require further testing. These routine screenings allow us to refer you for additional testing early to make sure you receive timely treatment.
