Cleaning | Comprehensive Exam | Flouride Treatment | Oral Cancer Screening
The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist every six months. Preventive dental care can help you reduce or avoid future costs by preventing and finding potential issues sooner. Because many diseases and conditions first show signs in your mouth, good dental health and a strong relationship with your dental office are important steps in your overall health
The doctor will review all findings and discuss possible treatment options to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
Fluoride can be an important part of preventing tooth decay in patients of all ages. During your visit, we will determine your risk for dental decay by discussing your diet, home care, previous decay history, illnesses and prescription medications. Fluoride treatment can be done in the office, or at home.
In the office: Treatment can be done during your regular exam using a tray with gel or foam fluoride. A more highly concentrated fluoride varnish that is brushed onto your teeth can also be used.
At home: Options for fluoride treatment include prescription toothpastes or a daily rinse. It is important to follow all recommendations made by your dentist and to also be aware of the fluoride levels in your water.
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Radiate By McQuitty provides oral cancer screenings as part of your regular dental exam. There are two main risk factors for oral cancer. Smoking and tobacco use are long-term historic causes of oral cancer. In addition, the HPV-16 virus, a sexually-transmitted disease, is resulting in the fastest-growing segment of oral cancer patients being young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals.
When found early, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. Dentists can be a first line of defense in identifying abnormalities in the mouth, which could be a sign of oral cancer.
Radiate By McQuitty makes it easy to afford high-quality general dentistry and easy to attain since it’s all under one roof. We tailor your care experience to your priorities and budget and don’t pressure you to get treatments you don’t want or need. We value your input and we always co-plan your care together.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. McQuitty and his staff. Everyone is so caring, quick, informative, and concerned about patient’s comfort. I loved the assistant, Fernando, and never have I felt more cared for by any assistant, both physically and emotionally. Thank YOU Dr. McQuitty and Staff.
Had my teeth cleaned today by Fernando. He is absolutely the best hygienist I have ever been to !! Fernando is caring and thorough and pointed out many things that needed attention in my mouth. I had been going to get my teeth cleaned at a periodontist and Fernando gave me a better cleaning than I had been getting from my hygienist at that office. I will be seeing him from now on. I'm on team Fernando !!!
My 90 year old Mom and I visited Dr. McQuitty's office a the first time visit. My Mom was a little nervous but the staff and the doctor were so kind and professional to put her at ease. Mom's implant problem was painlessly solved....Mom's comment was " I do not know who was more handsome the Doctor or the young assistant"
