Have You Been Putting Off Dental Visits? Relax – You're Not Alone!
“I avoided going to the dentist for many years due to bad experiences in the past. My husband recommended I give Floss a try, and I 'm really glad I did. Everyone was so kind and friendly. The dentist and assistant were so relaxed and patient with me, it really helped to put me at ease. Thank you!”
General Dentistry: The Basics
At Floss Family Dental and Surgical Center, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse range of services for infants to adults. It’s truly what sets us apart from other dentists in Lincoln, NE. Still, the foundation of a healthy smile begins with general dental care. Although general dentistry can consist of different treatments, at its core, two preventative procedures are arguably the most important:
Cleanings
Regularly scheduled exams are integral for good oral health. Even with the best at-home routine, you can’t completely clear away built-up plaque and tartar. We’ll polish your teeth and use special tools to reach surfaces you can't reach with floss and a toothbrush.
Dental Exams
Routine dental exams allow our Lincoln general dentist, Dr. Justin Villafane, to carefully examine each tooth and catch any cavities or other concerns as soon as they arise. We can also check the integrity of restorations like dental crowns to ensure a healthy smile.
The Importance of Regularly Scheduled Screenings
Beyond checking the health of your teeth, exams offer Dr. Villafane an opportunity to screen for so much more. Did you know the state of your oral health can be a key indicator of whether larger issues are at play? For example, your dentist can check for signs of:
Sleep Apnea
Our dentist has undergone specialized training in the field of sleep-disordered breathing. He is an affiliate of the Breathe Institute, a global leader in sleep and breathing-related healthcare, research, and education. Dr. Villafane has also experienced the benefits of sleep apnea treatment firsthand.
Tongue Tie
It’s important to bring your baby to the dentist by the time they turn one or after their first tooth erupts. However, if they experience trouble latching, or you're an adult who is experiencing breathing or speech issues, please reach out to us. Dr. Villafane is particularly passionate about treating tongue-tie cases. He uses an advanced soft tissue laser to minimize side effects and promote healing after a frenectomy.
TMJ Disorders
Similar to sleep apnea, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is surprisingly common, but many people underestimate its effects on their quality of life. TMJ disorder can cause chronic headaches, tingling in the extremities, damage to your teeth, and much more. Dr. Villafane’s training in craniofacial pain management ensures our patients receive effective, customized treatment plans to meet their exact needs.
