X-rays give us the opportunity to diagnose cavities, infection, impacted teeth, and other problems that might occur within the smile.<\/li>\n<li>Dental examinations \u2013 every six months, patients should be visiting the dentist for a routine evaluation. Examinations include a physical evaluation of the smile to check for early signs of cavities or gum disease. If any of these conditions are diagnosed, our team will provide services to help reverse the problem and bring the smile back to health.<\/li>\n<li>Dental cleanings \u2013 our dental hygienists provide a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums during routine visits as well, to remove plaque, tartar, calculus, and other issues that may impact oral health.<\/li>\n<li>Fluoride treatment and sealants \u2013 for patients who are more susceptible to cavities and periodontal disease, we may provide fluoride treatments and sealants as an extra layer of protection against common dental concerns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Contact the team at My Great Smile<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from offering a wide range of dental services, we also accept most dental insurance plans of patients at our convenient office location in Springfield, MA. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatsmile.com\/contact.html\">Call us today<\/a> at (413) 781-7645 so we can help you achieve and maintain great oral health and wellness while focusing on aesthetics and preventative care, too!
