U Mass Dentist
If you are looking for an excellent dental practice that provides preventive dental care, then you will want to become a member of our dental practice, Quinsigamond Dental. Our
U Mass dentist, Dr. Jack Xu, is an excellent general dentist who can provide you with general and preventive dental care; we also have other great dental specialists at our office.
If you want your teeth and gums remain healthy, it is important that you have an excellent at-home tooth brushing regimen, and that you visit our dental office to see our
U Mass dentist for dental exams every six months. Dental exams are an important step to keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Our dentist will be able to find any problems that are developing early on, so they can easily be treated. For example, if our dentist finds during a dental exam that you have gingivitis, it will be recommended that you have several regular teeth cleanings over the coming months in order to have your gums return to good health. Gingivitis can be a precursor to gum disease. Once gum disease develops, it means that you have deep pockets that have formed between your teeth and gums. At this point, you will need to have a scaling and root planing treatment to help the deep pockets reduce in size. If this is not successful, you may need to have gum surgery. Dental cleanings are also an important part of preventive dental care as they will keep cavities from developing, and keep tartar and plaque from causing serious gum problems. Children who come to our dental practice can also receive dental exams and cleanings. For children, it is recommended that they have fluoride treatments and dental sealants treatments to keep cavities from developing.
