Dental Hygiene Visits in Jackson, MS
Advanced Care for Your Smile
Daily brushing and flossing are essential habits for maintaining a healthy smile, but it’s still important to visit Tharp & Klaus Dental Clinic in Jackson for regular hygiene visits. We’ll provide services that you just can’t get at home, including professional cleaning.
We’ll also use our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools for early detection of cavities and gum disease, allowing us to treat them before they get out of hand.
At Tharp & Klaus, we use the Galileos Cone Beam Imaging System from Sirona Dental Systems to generate stunning 3D images of your teeth and the hard and soft structures that support them — all you have to do is sit in a chair for 14 seconds.
Serving Everyone in Your Family
Children are particularly vulnerable to cavities, so it’s really important for them to visit our office for routine professional care. We’ll show them how to protect their smile by practicing healthy habits.
We provide outstanding care for the whole family, so you can save time by scheduling appointments for more than one family member on the same day
Oral Cancer Screening
Screening for oral cancer is always provided as part of your dental exam. It only takes a few minutes, and if we see anything out of the ordinary, we’ll refer you to the proper specialist right away.
In most cases, these developments turn out to be benign, but early detection makes it a lot easier to effectively treat this dangerous disease.
Treatment for Gum Disease
Periodontal disease, commonly referred to as gum disease, is a serious threat to your smile. If left untreated, it can result in pain, bleeding, bad breath, and the loss of teeth. Our dentists feature effective treatments for all stages of gum disease, but the sooner we discover it, the easier it is to treat.
When left untreated, gum disease can wreak havoc on your smile, and the infection can also spread to other parts of your body. The latest scientific research indicates links between gum disease and the following medical issues:
- Heart disease
- Low birthweight
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Strokes
- Diabetes
Tooth-colored Fillings and Root Canal Therapy
Like periodontal disease, tooth decay can be detected early during your regular dental exams. We’ll remove the damaged portion of the tooth and then restore it with a tooth-colored filling that bonds to the tooth and blends in naturally with your smile. After one quick appointment, your tooth will look and feel like new.
If tooth decay is left untreated, it can penetrate through the enamel and dentin, infecting the inner region of the tooth, which is called the root canal. This can result in extreme pain and the infection might even spread throughout your mouth and to other parts of your head and neck as well.
We provide root canal therapy to eliminate the infection. Then we’ll restore your tooth to full function with an attractive crown that’s custom-made to blend in with your smile.
