Allergies
Many people have allergies to dust and pollen and some people are allergic to certain medications or materials. You will be asked about any specific allergies you may have on your ‘new patient’ questionnaire. Please let us know if you or your children have allergies to any of the following:
- Medications: If you don’t know the name of the medication, we can contact the health care provider that prescribed the medication to identify it.
- Materials: If you are exposed to latex, we need to know prior to your appointment. Please let us know if any of these allergies exist so that we may provide a comfortable environment for you.
Cleanings and Check-Ups
As your family dentist in Anchorage and Wasilla, we don’t just clean your teeth during your regularly scheduled check-up. There is much more to it than that! The technical term is oral prophylaxis. This basically means the prevention of oral disease.
One good way to prevent oral disease is to remove harmful plaque and tartar (calculus) above and below the gum line. You may also be given special instructions on brushing or flossing in order to keep your teeth free of debris between check-ups and ‘cleanings’.
Prevention Is Key
Another great way to prevent oral disease is by early detection and treatment. During your check-ups, you will be screened for many potential threats to your oral health, including:
- Cavities
- Gum Disease
- Oral Cancer
- Systematic Diseases Like Diabetes
Your Anchorage or Wasilla Dental Hygienist is your family’s first line of defense against oral disease. Our Dental Hygienists are highly trained professionals who will evaluate your teeth and gums using visual means, x-rays and other modern technology. Your dentist will then review the findings of your hygienist and will advise you on any threats to your oral or general health.
