Periodontal Therapy (Soft Tissue Program)
Periodontal (gum) disease, if left untreated, can contribute not only to rapid deterioration of the mouth but also has been linked to other serious health problems, including heart disease or stroke. That fact makes it extremely important that you choose a highly trained professional like Dr. Burridge to handle your periodontal therapy. Dr. Burridge can prescribe a soft tissue program to minimize the spread of periodontal disease and restore your mouth to perfect health.
Sealants
Even with a proper program of brushing and flossing, preventing tooth decay can be an uphill battle— especially where children are concerned. For that reason, you may want to consider sealant treatments. In this procedure, a thin sealant film is painlessly applied to the surfaces of the teeth, where it bonds to them and seals them safely away from decay-promoting food particles while smoothing their surfaces and protecting them from plaque, acids, and bacteria. When properly placed by professionals like Dr. Burridge, dental sealants can be nearly 100% effective at preventing cavities!
Bite Splints
A bite splint is a removable oral appliance, usually worn at night, that is designed to protect the teeth
from the effects of TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) or bruxism (grinding of the teeth) or relieve symptoms such as tension headaches or neck pain. Dr. Burridge will individually design and custom-fit a bite splint for you, ensuring that you get the highest degree of protection possible.
Athletic Guards
Many sports and activities require athletic guards that help keep you and your children safe from accidental injury. A custom-fitted athletic guard will provide the best possible protection as well as the highest degree of comfort and the best fit. Don’t take chances with your family’s smiles: have your athletic guards created by Dr. Burridge and know that you’re getting the very best. You can even pick the color of your choice!
