Routine Dental Care
We offer complete dental services for our patients, including professional cleanings. Routine cleanings are part of preventative dental care to maintain your tooth and gum health.
During a cleaning, one of our registered dental hygienists (RDH) will begin by scraping plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums. This step of the cleaning is a great way to remove harmful bacteria that cause infections.
Then he or she will polish your teeth with a gritty paste and a small rotating brush. This removes surface stains from coffee, tea, or other foods and makes your teeth feel smooth. Finally, he or she will give your teeth a thorough flossing to clean the tight spaces between them.
We recommend that most patients visit us every 6 months. If you have gum disease, Dr. Cain will recommend that you visit him every 3 to 4 months for a deep gum cleaning.
Laser Gum Therapy
Dr. Cain offers many periodontal services, and one of the most comfortable is laser gum treatment. LANAP® is an FDA-approved treatment that stands for the Laser Assisted New Attachment Protocol.
It uses a laser beam that only removes diseased, infected tissue from your gum pockets. It leaves the healthy gum tissue alone. The laser’s energy also helps eliminate the harmful bacteria that cause the infection deep below the gumline.
As the laser works, it seals the blood vessels and nerve endings. This is why there’s often less bleeding, less swelling, and less discomfort after the procedure compared to other surgery methods.
Solutions for Dental Anxiety
As a periodontist, Dr. Cain wants you to feel as comfortable as possible when you need periodontal treatment. He offers sedation dentistry, which uses gentle medication to help you relax during a dental procedure.
It’s sometimes called “sleep dentistry,” but you are usually not fully asleep. Instead, you are placed in a deeply relaxed state. You will be conscious and able to respond, but you’ll feel calm and worry-free. Dr. Cain is specially trained to provide different levels of sedation to match your comfort level. He offers oral conscious sedation, nitrous oxide, or IV sedation based on your health and treatment needs.
