Our dentists use a variety of tools and techniques to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental problems. During a dental exam, the dentist will use a small mirror to examine the teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. They may also use an intraoral camera to take digital images of the teeth and gums, which can be displayed on a computer screen for a closer look.
To clean the teeth, dentists use a small metal instrument called a scaler to remove plaque and tartar buildup. They may also use a high-powered electric brush to polish the teeth and remove surface stains.
If a patient has a cavity, the dentist will use a drill to remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then fill the cavity with a filling material, such as composite resin or amalgam.
If a patient needs a root canal, the dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth and use special tools to remove the damaged or infected pulp from the tooth. They will then fill the space with a special material and seal the tooth.
Dentists may also perform extractions, orthodontic treatments, and other procedures as needed to improve oral health.
