Preventive Care Services
Preventive
care is the foundation of good oral health, which is an integral part
of your overall health. As the “Protectors and
Defenders” of your teeth, there are two main areas we must address
in your mouth on a regular basis: 1) bacteria, which results in tooth
decay and gum disease, and 2) clenching and grinding, which stresses
the teeth, gums, and bone.
We offer the following preventive care services:
- Cleaning or Hygiene
- Regular Checkups
- Patient Education
- Nightguards

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Disorder
When
this joint in your jaw is not functioning properly, you will know
it. Problems associated with TMJ Disorder include frequent headaches
and/or neck pain. Physical signs may include chipped or worn teeth
and excessive sensitivity of the teeth to hot or cold beverages or
foods.
Dr. Splane has extensive experience in this area and receives many
referrals from other physicians. After a thorough examination and diagnosis,
Dr. Splane will prescribe the appropriate therapy to resolve your symptoms
and stop the destruction of your teeth and joint.

Gum Disease
75% of adult tooth loss is caused by gum disease. This disease
is caused by the colonization of bacteria, which in turn causes infection.
Often there are no noticeable symptoms until it has reached an advanced
stage. Bleeding is typically a sign of infection and it’s important
to know that healthy gums do not usually bleed with proper brushing
and flossing.
Our staff is highly skilled and highly trained in the
treatment of gum disease.
We offer the following services:
- Charting and Diagnostic Services, once a year or more often if
necessary
- A full range of in-office non-surgical periodontal therapy
