Oral Exams and Cleanings

Regular dental cleanings can reduce the chances of developing severe problems with your teeth and gums. We use a self-contained water system and a comprehensive approach to teeth cleanings at the Fawcett Center for Dentistry to help you keep decay and gum disease at bay. As with oral exams, dental cleanings should be performed at least twice each year so that you can maintain good oral health for a long time to come.

Oral exams at our office include the latest advances in technology, such as intraoral cameras, to make your evaluation as comfortable and precise as possible. Your teeth and gums will be thoroughly examined, and if any problems are found, our dental team will recommend a customized treatment plan to help you maintain excellent oral health.

Screenings

Your oral exam will include an oral cancer screening to make sure you are free of any signs of pre-cancerous or cancerous areas inside your mouth. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to reduce your risk of life-threatening oral cancer. Oral examinations may also include a screening for TMJ disorder for patients who are experiencing symptoms of that condition.

Dr. Fawcett recommends at least two oral exams each year to make sure there are no issues and to prevent worse dental problems down the road.

The whole family can benefit from dental care services provided at the Fawcett Center for Dentistry! We offer comprehensive dental care for patients over the age of 13. A healthy, beautiful smile starts with high-quality dental care that focuses on proper dental development, prevention of dental concerns, and early treatment intervention.

Fluoride Treatments

You probably remember regular fluoride rinses you may have been required to take during elementary school. These treatments are just as important today as they were then, offering you a quick and easy way to help prevent cavities and fight tooth decay. We offer oral fluoride rinses here at our practice to provide even greater protection against bacteria along your teeth and gums.

Infection Control

The Fawcett Center for Dentistry has very high standards for infection control at our office. We use disposable materials whenever possible, and our reusable equipment is sterilized for each patient. Our dental team employs the utmost precautionary measures to ensure all our patients are treated in a safe and clean environment.

Mercury-Free Dentistry

Dr. Wayde Fawcett oversees a mercury-free practice here in Houston. We are committed to offering patients the safest treatment possible, as well as reducing the use of materials that may be harmful to the environment. Procedures such as dental fillings used to involve materials containing certain levels of mercury, a substance that has been found to increase health risks. Material containing mercury also required special methods of disposal. We do not use mercury-based materials in any of our treatments at the Fawcett Center for Dentistry.

Periodontal Care

Proper gum care is vital for a healthy smile and optimal oral health. At the Fawcett Center for Dentistry, Dr. Fawcett provides the full spectrum of periodontal care services to prevent and treat gum disease at any phase. Treatment options—such as scaling, root planing, and PerioProtect^®—help to remove plaque from below the gumline and control harmful bacteria. This allows gums to heal and protects against serious consequences of gum disease, including tooth loss and jawbone recession.

Sealants

Dental sealants provide a strong layer of protection from the development of cavities and decay on the back teeth. The durable sealant material is placed onto the tooth’s surface to guard against bacteria that can enter into small crevices along the teeth. This procedure is often performed in children to give them years of protection against tooth decay.
