Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings

The American Dental Association, as well as our team at Morris County Dental Associates, recommends that patients visit the dentist twice a year, or every six months, for a checkup and cleaning. A professional teeth cleaning and dental checkup will help you establish a healthy smile year-round by preventing plaque and tartar accumulation and treating any small signs of dental problems, like cavities, before they progress. 

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is one of the most common oral health concerns in the country, estimated to impact one out of every two adults according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In its early stages, it can cause bleeding gums when brushing and flossing and chronic bad breath. When it has an opportunity to progress, it can lead to gum recession and even tooth loss, which is why early diagnosis and treatment are so crucial. Our team offers detailed scaling and root planing to control and even reverse the effects of gum disease. 

Nightguards for Bruxism

Bruxism is the clinical term for teeth grinding. This most often occurs at night when you sleep and can be the result of bite misalignment, stress, or other conditions like TMJ disorder. To protect your teeth and jaw joints, as well as prevent common effects of bruxism like headaches, our team offers custom-crafted nightguards. They’re designed to fit comfortably within your mouth and are made from a durable, cushioning acrylic for the best protection.
