Cleanings, Exams and X-rays
Professional cleanings performed by a hygienist or dental assistant are as important to your dental health as daily brushing and flossing. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings help catch problems when they are small and easier to treat. Left unattended, small treatable problems become worse and may require more extensive, expensive procedures to repair.

Dentistry for Kids

Periodontal Health
One of the best ways to keep your gums from bleeding when you come in for a cleaning is to floss regularly. Brushing your teeth before or after flossing is less important than whether you floss or not.

Mouthguards
Bruxism (teeth grinding) can cause moderate to severe long-term damage to teeth. Constant grinding wears down the surface of the tooth, exposing the soft dentin beneath the enamel. This is why it's important to protect your teeth while you sleep by wearing a mouthguard.

Oral Cancer Screening
During your dental visit, Dr. Picone can talk to you about your health history and examine you for signs of mouth and/or throat cancer. Regular visits to Southington Family Dentistry can improve the chances that any suspicious changes in your oral health will be caught early, at a time when cancer can be treated more easily.
