Oral Cancer Screening
Every comprehensive dental exam at Pearl Dental Group includes an oral cancer screening to identify suspicious changes or abnormalities in the mouth and surrounding tissues. Several factors increase your risk:
- Tobacco use
- Heavy alcohol consumption
- Excessive sun exposure, which raises the risk of lip cancer
- Certain strains of HPV
Routine screenings catch problems before they escalate. Schedule your next dental exam and oral cancer screening at Pearl Dental Group in Hilliard, OH.
Dental Cleanings
Dental cleanings and exams protect your smile and catch problems before they become serious. During your visit, our team will:
- Take digital X-rays when clinically appropriate
- Gently remove plaque and tartar
- Conduct an oral cancer screening
- Provide personalized at-home care guidance
Consistent cleanings are the foundation of a healthy, long-lasting smile. Schedule your next cleaning and exam at Pearl Dental Group in Hilliard, OH.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments can help strengthen enamel and reduce the risk of cavities for both children and adults. We recommend fluoride as part of your regular preventive care for an added layer of protection against cavities.
Sealants
Sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, the deep grooves that are hardest to keep clean with brushing alone.
Applied early, sealants help block out bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities. They’re especially valuable for children and anyone prone to cavities.
Digital Radiographs
Digital radiographs provide detailed images while allowing our team to efficiently evaluate areas that aren’t visible during a visual exam.
These advanced digital X-rays help us detect developing cavities, impacted wisdom teeth, bone loss, and other hidden dental concerns before they become serious problems. Our state-of-the-art digital technology uses up to 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays, providing a safer and more comfortable experience for our patients.
Diagnodent
Diagnodent uses laser fluorescence technology to help identify areas of tooth decay that may not be apparent during a visual examination. Finding decay this early means minimally invasive treatment and more of your natural tooth structure preserved.
Perio Protect Trays
Perio Protect Trays are custom-made trays designed to deliver prescribed periodontal medication below the gumline. Depending on your individual needs, they may be recommended as part of a comprehensive approach to managing gum disease and supporting ongoing gum health.
