Sealants: Sealants protect the chewing surfaces of the back teeth and should be applied as a child's permanent teeth erupt. Though typically placed on children's teeth, adult molars can also be sealed, provided a tooth does not show evidence of decay. The sealants that we have placed have been highly successful in preventing decay. Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride applications help to strengthen the enamel on your child’s teeth, making it more difficult for cavities to begin. Children should be receiving fluoride treatments every six months. Regular Prophylaxis: These important appointments allow Drs.’ Campi and their hygienists to monitor your oral health and clean under your gum line where the toothbrush cannot reach. They also help promote healthy gums and teeth by removing the plaque that causes decay and gum infection, and educate you about prevention.

Tooth Desensitization: Fluoride can also help adults reduce the pain and discomfort caused by exposed root surfaces (receding gums). Regular fluoride application helps eliminate root sensitivity. Our patients have found it helpful to have a series of fluoride treatments to reduce their sensitivity, followed by possible at-home applications.

Periodontal Maintenance: Once the initial phase of treatment is complete, it is important that you make a commitment to maintain your dental health. To achieve this, it is vital that you return on a regular basis for a routine examination and cleaning. Drs.’ Campi and their hygienist will inform you of the re-care interval that best fits your needs.

Nightguard Therapy: Nightguards are used as a treatment option to prevent damage to the chewing surfaces of the teeth associated with grinding and clenching. It is a conservative treatment that is very successful and highly recommended for patients with TMJ dysfunction. By creating an acrylic pattern of your teeth, Drs.’ Campi can help you protect your teeth from unnecessary wear.
