Practice Good Dental Hygiene

During your time at our office, our team works hard to improve your oral health. It is essential, however, that you continue taking care of your smile at home through consistent oral hygiene. Good dental hygiene includes many daily habits and practices that help to keep your smile healthy and bright. Our dentists and the team recommend that you follow these basic steps to help your smile stay in optimal health:

• Brush your teeth after each meal or at least twice a day. We encourage you to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste that includes fluoride.
• Floss at least once every day. The most important time to floss is just before you go to sleep at night.
• Eat a balanced diet. Limiting your intake of very sugary and acidic foods can help to prevent tooth decay.
• Maintain your regular visits with our dentists every six months. During these visits, we will provide professional teeth cleaning and a thorough dental exam to make certain we provide any needed preventive or restorative treatments.

When you visit our dentists and team, we will review your dental hygiene habits with you and offer needed information on any additional steps you can take to further improve your oral health. To learn more about dental hygiene and schedule your next appointment at our office, we welcome you to call or visit us today.

Oral cancer is a serious condition that affects many patients across the nation. It is important to catch early signs of this disease. At Molar Bear Dental, Dr. Anhhuy Nguyen provides oral cancer screenings in Wellington, FL. Protect yourself against this disease and plan a screening with our dentists.

Oral cancer includes cancers of the lips, tongue, floor of the mouth, cheeks, throat (pharynx), sinuses, and hard and soft palate. While oral cancer can usually be successfully treated when detected early, most cases of oral cancer are not detected until they have progressed into a more serious, advanced stage that is much more difficult to treat. In fact, oral cancer may be life-threatening.

At our office, we are dedicated to doing all we can to detect and treat oral cancers and other abnormalities at the earliest possible stage. During your routine dental cleanings and exams at our office, our dentists and team will perform an oral cancer screening to check for the signs of oral cancer.

The following are common symptoms of oral cancer:

• A persistent sore throat or feeling that something is caught at the back of the throat
• Unexplained bleeding in the mouth
• A persistent or lasting sore on the face, neck, or mouth that bleeds easily and does not heal within two weeks
• Unexplained loss of feeling, pain, or numbness in the face, neck, or mouth
• Ear pain
• Lumps, bumps, or rough spots on the gums, lips, or other parts of the mouth
• Red, white, or speckled red-and-white patches in the mouth
• Difficulty chewing, speaking, or swallowing
• A change in the way your teeth or dentures fit together

While our team will perform a screening for oral cancer to check for these and other symptoms, we encourage you to contact us if you notice any of these problems or if you experience any other type of dental pain. We are committed to helping you stay in good health.

Come into Molar Bear Dental for an exam, and our dentists can help you protect your teeth. Dr. Anhhuy Nguyen wants you to have healthy, strong teeth for life. Periodic examinations in Wellington, FL, can help! To plan an exam and cleaning today, call today.

Important Preventive Treatments

Dental cleanings and exams are two of the most basic yet important preventive treatments we provide at our office. Each time you visit our dental practice for a checkup, we will provide professional teeth cleaning and dental exams to help your smile stay healthy. During your cleaning and exam, our dental team will:

• Clean your teeth by removing any plaque or tartar (also called dental calculus), which can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease
• Floss and polish your teeth for a healthy, bright smile
• Examine your smile for signs of any damaging dental conditions or diseases

We may utilize dental X-rays to further evaluate your smile and make certain that you receive the dental care you need. Regular dental cleanings and exams are essential in maintaining good oral health, preventing cavities and gum disease, and making sure that any damaging conditions are treated as early as possible.

We recommend that you visit us every six months for a routine dental cleaning and exam. We may suggest more frequent visits if needed, and we also encourage you to contact us if you suffer from a dental emergency, pain, or injury. To schedule your next appointment, we invite you to contact us today. We look forward to caring for your smile!

When you come in for a dental exam at Molar Bear Dental PA, our dentists will use the tools necessary to protect and clean your teeth. Our ultrasonic dental cleanings in Wellington, FL, use Cavitron technology to help keep your teeth and gums safe from decay and disease. This technology also allows Dr. Anhhuy Nguyen to identify cavities and protect your smile. Find out more about Cavitron tools and our ultrasonic cleanings by calling today.

Ultrasonic scalers are used during our cleaning services to provide you with a more comfortable and efficient dental experience. As you eat and drink, plaque and food debris build up on your teeth. If plaque is not removed within 24 hours, it hardens into dental calculus or tartar which can only be removed by a dental professional.

At our office, we use ultrasonic scalers to remove the built-up plaque and tartar, keeping your teeth clean and your smile healthy. The ultrasonic scaler is more comfortable and faster than a traditional scaling tool. You may feel some vibrations from the tool, but it is not an uncomfortable process and does not require any numbing anesthetic.

You will likely notice our dentists or hygienist using the ultrasonic scaler during your routine teeth cleanings and periodontal maintenance. Removing the built-up plaque and tartar is important in ensuring that your smile stays free from tooth decay and gum disease.

In addition to improving your own experience at our office, the ultrasonic scaler also makes this treatment more comfortable and easier for our hygienist. For more information about the benefits of the ultrasonic scaler, we welcome you to call or visit our knowledgeable team today.
