Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis)
Maintaining oral health between appointments is essential, and Dr. Applegate recommends all patients receive dental cleanings at least twice a year. Regular dental cleanings help prevent diseases and other oral health issues from arising. Dr. Applegate may recommend more frequent, targeted cleanings depending on your oral health condition.
Our team uses the latest dental tools to deliver efficient, comfortable care, effectively removing plaque and tartar for a refreshed smile. Post-cleaning, we perform tooth polishing to eliminate stains and discoloration. For further tooth strengthening and protection, we may also suggest fluoride treatment.
Nightguards for TMJ Pain
Do you suffer from teeth grinding (bruxism) during sleep, leading to headaches, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems, and uneven tooth wear? Dr. Applegate offers custom-made night guards to rectify the issue and protect your teeth. Dr. Applegate has also assisted individuals with bite-related headaches using specialized orthotics and advanced treatments to address bite function problems contributing to headaches.
Mouthguards for Athletics
If you're involved in sports, it's important to safeguard your smile. Our customized athletic mouthguards offer superior protection for your teeth and even help reduce the risk of concussions.
Desensitizing Treatments for Sensitive Teeth
Our team has a solution if you experience sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures and avoid certain foods or drinks. After determining the root cause of the sensitivity, Dr. Applegate can apply a special paste designed to relieve tooth sensitivity for months. He'll also provide personalized recommendations to prevent tooth sensitivity between your regular appointments.
