At Janice K. Pliszczak, DDS, we take exceptional care of your oral health. Below are some of the family dental services that our practice provides.

Cleanings, Exams & X-rays

Professional cleanings performed by a registered hygienist are just as important to your dental health as daily brushing and flossing. Twice yearly dental check-ups and cleanings help catch problems when they are small and easier to treat. Left unattended, small treatable problems become worse and may require more extensive, expensive procedures to repair. X-rays allow us to evaluate your teeth for conditions we may not see clinically.

Sealants

Sealants are generally used to help prevent tooth decay on the biting surfaces of back teeth (molars). Sealants are painted directly onto the tooth where they seal the natural grooves to help prevent tooth decay. Read More About Sealants

Fluoride Treatments

To help you further protect the health of your teeth and mouth, we can provide you with fluoride treatments. While commonly associated with children, fluoride treatments can be effective no matter what your age. Read More About Sealants

Gum Disease

Gum disease occurs in stages and more than half of all adults over the age of 30 have some form of it. If you feel you are at risk, you should talk to us right away. If we catch gum disease in the early stage (gingivitis) it could be reversed with proper care from your dental team. If left untreated, gum disease progress to later stages (periodontitis) which is not reversible. Read More About Gum Disease

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer compromises 85% of all the head and neck related cancers. 90% of oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Oral cancers frequently present themselves with no pain or symptoms. During each patient care appointment, our trained staff evaluates the oral cavity for changes and signs of any pathology. Early detection is best!

Oral Hygiene

Daily brushing and flossing of our teeth is just the bare minimum for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. But is the bare minimum really enough for your pearly whites? Read More About Oral Hygiene
