Preventive Dentistry – Upper Arlington, OH
How We Keep Your Smile Safe
It’s never a good idea to wait until you have an oral health issue to see the dentist. Modern dental care is based largely on prevention; it’s much easier to take steps to stop cavities and gum disease from forming in the first place than it is to repair the smile after the damage has already been done. If it’s been a while since your last dental checkup, there’s no time like the present! Contact Tzagournis Dental Group of Upper Arlington today to schedule a preventive dentistry appointment.

Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), patients of all ages should have at least two dental checkups and teeth cleanings every year. Doing so gives your dentist a chance to remove harmful materials from your teeth while also checking for any small issues that could eventually turn into emergencies.
During a professional teeth cleaning, any harmful plaque or tartar that has built up on your teeth and gums will be gently removed before they can lead to health problems like tooth decay and gum disease. We may also remove any surface stains that we find to keep your teeth looking as bright as possible.
If we find any troublesome symptoms, we will let you know what treatment options are available and schedule follow-up appointments as needed.
Nightguards for Bruxism
People of any age may start grinding or clenching their teeth at night due to stress or a misaligned jaw. This involuntary grinding, known as bruxism, can wear down the tooth enamel, strain the jaw joints, and lead to chronic headaches. Fortunately, our office has an easy way for you to protect yourself from bruxism: custom mouthguards. You simply wear this oral appliance whenever you go to bed, and it will stop your teeth from touching each other, thus letting you avoid the worst consequences of bruxism.
