Your preventive care appointment may include the following:

Oral Cancer Screenings

With an Oral Cancer Screening Light, a handheld device with a special blue-spectrum light, we can efficiently detect potential oral cancers in their early, highly treatable stages. Dr. Rusch and Dr. Rich recommend annual oral cancer screenings to ensure early detection. During the screening, our dentists examine the mouth, throat, lips, gums, and tongue for abnormalities and inquiries about potential symptoms. Several factors can increase the risk of developing oral cancer, including gender, tobacco use, genetic predisposition, excessive sun exposure, an unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol consumption, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Preventive Dental Cleanings (Prophylaxis)

To guarantee your teeth are in their best possible condition, we provide comprehensive dental cleanings for patients of all ages. Based on your oral health, we may suggest bi-annual or more frequent in-depth cleanings. Our highly-trained hygienists utilize cutting-edge tools to eliminate plaque and tartar accumulation before polishing your teeth for a radiant finish. Regularly scheduled dental cleanings with Parkview Family Dentistry gives your smile a strong defense against decay.

Dr. Rusch and Dr. Rich have also successfully treated patients with bite-related headaches using specialized orthotics and advanced treatments to correct bite function concerns.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy addresses the inflamed, infected, or dead pulp at the core of a tooth, which comprises nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. If you notice any of the symptoms below, contact us at Parkview Family Dentistry right away:

  • Visible tooth injury
  • Swelling of the gums
  • Temperature sensitivity
  • Tooth and gum pain

The root canal procedure procedure involves extracting the pulp from the tooth chamber and canals, followed by a gentle canal disinfection. Following your root canal treatment, our team may apply a temporary filling to protect the tooth until the restoration is finalized. You might experience sensitivity for a few days, which can be alleviated with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medications.
