Early detection saves lives, which is why we perform visual oral cancer screenings for every patient at Little Current Dental Centre to look for abnormalities on the mouth, lips, and tongue. If we are concerned about any findings, we will send a sample to the lab for testing to help ensure that a patient receives a diagnosis quickly. At your next appointment, ask our dentists about the signs and symptoms of oral cancer so you know when to book an exam to have your mouth checked over between regular appointments.

A little dental sealant goes a long way! In fact, it can last many years, offering solid protection for the teeth well into the future. Dental sealants are a thin, clear plastic material that is easily painted onto the teeth and hardened with a special light. They keep food particles, bacteria, acid, and plaque from working their way through the tooth enamel. Let the experienced dental professionals at Little Current Dental Center keep your smile safe from infection and damage with the help of expertly applied dental sealants that will block cavities and tooth decay.

Dental bonding at Little Current Dental Center is a restorative procedure we recommend for patients with damaged or decaying teeth. The procedure is minimally invasive, using bonding material that’s been matched to your tooth colour to shape and build up the affected teeth. Dental bonding strengthens teeth and provides great appeal but may not last quite as long as some of our other treatment options. Ask your dentist if simple, affordable dental bonding is a suitable option for restoring your smile.

Missing teeth can eventually cause the other teeth to start to shift if the spaces aren’t closed with restorations. One way we can close the gap on missing teeth and help you maintain full dental health is by creating dental bridges. Dental bridges at Little Current Dental  Center are durable, cosmetically appealing and matched to your teeth, offering an effective solution that we often recommend for our patients suffering from minimal tooth loss.

If you are like many of our patients, you might be clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth at night without even realizing it. Pain, soreness, tooth damage, and other unexplained symptoms are often signs of bruxism, a condition that causes the jaw to become overactive (usually at night) Our dental specialists at Little Current Dental Center can custom-fit a night guard that protects your smile overnight! Tight-fitting and thinner than over-the-counter guards, these will allow you to breathe and sleep easily, all while keeping your pearly whites perfectly encased.
