FAMILY DENTISTRY – ASHWAUBENON, WI
We Care for Patients of All Ages
Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Like the American Dental Association, our team recommends getting routine checkups and cleanings every six months, or twice a year. During your routine dental checkups, our goal is to catch and treat early signs of oral health issues—such as cavities and gum disease—before they cause lasting damage. Using digital X-rays and a comprehensive dental exam, we assess the health of your teeth and gums. We then perform a professional teeth cleaning to remove built-up plaque and tartar, helping your smile stay bright, healthy, and cavity-free.
Children’s Dentistry
At Bay Park Smiles, our team loves treating children and educating them on how they can care for their growing smiles. We offer several kid-friendly services, like dental sealants and fluoride treatments, and we do everything we can to help them build a positive relationship with our dental office. That way, they aren’t hesitant to come back!
Dental Sealants
If you or your child is at a higher risk of developing cavities, it could be due to the deep grooves and pits in your molars that are prone to trapping food debris and bacteria in the mouth. We can place dental sealants over the surface of the molars to act as a shield and make brushing easier. By preventing the build-up of plaque and food debris, a patient will enjoy a cavity-free smile.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a natural mineral found in certain fruits, vegetables, and often added to public water supplies to help prevent cavities. It plays a vital role in strengthening tooth enamel—the protective outer layer of your teeth. If we notice that you or your child may not be getting enough fluoride, we may recommend a quick and painless in-office fluoride treatment during your routine dental cleaning. This simple preventive measure can help protect your smile from tooth decay and support long-term oral health
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not detected early, which is why we perform routine oral cancer screenings during your bi-annual dental checkups. Our team carefully examines your lips, tongue, throat, and other oral tissues for any signs of abnormalities or early symptoms of oral cancer. Early detection is key—if we identify anything unusual, we’ll promptly refer you to a specialist for further evaluation. This preventive approach allows us to protect your health and give you peace of mind.
Nightguards for Teeth Grinding
Bruxism—commonly known as nighttime teeth grinding and clenching—is a widespread condition often triggered by stress, anxiety, bite misalignment, and other factors. Left untreated, it can lead to serious oral health issues like worn enamel, fractured teeth, and TMJ disorders. To protect your smile, we offer custom-made nightguards that cushion your teeth and relieve pressure on your jaw joints. Simply wear your nightguard while you sleep, and you’ll wake up knowing your teeth and jaw are safe from damage.
