Preventive Dentistry Leesburg
Stopping Oral Problems Before They Begin
One of the primary goals of dentistry is to prevent issues from occurring in the first place. At Downtown Family Dental of Leesburg, Dr. Pham will perform a thorough examination of your teeth as well as your gums; they will also check for signs of oral cancer. This way, we can find and treat oral health problems when they’re still small and easy to address. Afterward, you’ll receive an in-depth cleaning from our hygienists so that plaque and tartar buildup can be removed from even the hardest-to-reach areas. Finally, we’ll discuss your oral habits with you and provide suggestions on ways you can better protect your smile moving forward.

Nightguards for Bruxism
If you’ve been told that you grind or clench your teeth while you sleep, or you have consistent jaw pain, you may have a condition called bruxism. What can you do about a habit that only manifests during sleep? You can turn to our team at Downtown Family Dental of Leesburg for a custom nightguard. This oral appliance is comfortable and keeps your upper and lower teeth from touching, protecting them from excessive wear and potential cracking.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Although not the most common, oral cancer is one of the most fatal types. Unfortunately, it is often discovered late in development, but it doesn’t have to be this way. At every checkup twice a year, we carefully inspect your mouth, looking for signs of potentially cancerous cells. If necessary, our expert team can catch those early indications and refer you to a doctor for a more accurate diagnosis, significantly improving the odds of survival.
Fluoride Treatments
As a common mineral in most tap water, fluoride helps your smile stay strong. It reinforces the enamel or the hard, protective layer on the outside of your teeth. Although enamel is the toughest material in your body, it is constantly bombarded by acids produced by bacteria. Fluoride gives your enamel a boost of strength to withstand these attacks. After we’ve completed your dental cleaning, we can apply a concentrated treatment of fluoride to your teeth to provide extra protection from cavities in-between visits.
