Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Every six months, it’s important to schedule routine checkups and cleanings with your dentist in Fremont. Our team will start your appointment by discussing any concerns you have and taking diagnostic X-rays. Dr. Gaddam will complete a thorough examination of your teeth and gums and an oral cancer screening as well, and if any concerns are spotted, she’ll provide you with a treatment plan to address them. Finally, our skilled dental hygienist will thoroughly clean, polish, and floss your teeth, fully refreshing your smile.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is an important mineral that’s added to municipal water sources as well as oral hygiene products to help fortify your enamel and protect your teeth from decay. If you’re not receiving enough fluoride in your diet, we can supplement it with a quick and easy topical treatment after your routine cleaning.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Do you wake up with a tension headache or sore jaw? These are common signs that you grind or clench while you sleep. Dr. Gaddam offers customized nightguards to help protect your teeth from severe wear-and-tear as well as other dental concerns, like TMJ disorder. All you need to do is put your nightguard in your mouth before you fall asleep, and it will act to cushion your teeth and jaw joints to prevent damage and morning discomfort.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea is a common condition that impacts your ability to reach a deep state of sleep and breathe throughout the night. When left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can lead to inhibited oxygen flow to the brain in addition to chronic fatigue, which can put you at a greater risk of developing several medical conditions (including heart disease and dementia). Dr. Gaddam offers customized oral appliances to open the airway while reducing snoring at the same time, helping you (and everyone else in your home) get a better night’s sleep.
