Preventing tooth decay and gum disease in Beaverton

General & Preventive Dentistry In Beaverton OR

Preventing tooth decay and gum disease has multiple benefits including: systemic reduction in harmful bacteria ingestion, elimination of painful teeth and gums, aesthetic function and appearance, and reduction in costly treatments before they occur.

Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection caused by bacteria under the gum tissue that begin to destroy the gums and bone. Teeth become loose, chewing becomes difficult, and teeth may have to be extracted. Gum disease may also be related to damage elsewhere in the body; recent studies point to associations between such oral infections and diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and preterm, low-weight births. Research is underway to further examine these connections.

Sealants Treatments

Sealants

Sealants are a white plastic resin that is placed into the grooves of the chewing surface of your tooth to help to prevent the formation of tooth decay (“cavities”). Sealants can wear over time and need to replaced, usually after 3 years or more depending on diet and bite force.
Teeth Grinding

Teeth Grinding

Dental guards are recommended treatment for patients with nocturnal or daytime teeth grinding (bruxism) habits. In addition to limiting teeth wear, night guards (NG) help to support the muscles used to chew and the jaw joint called the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). In some cases, patients with severe habits and or symptoms will need to be referred to a TMD (Temporomandibular Dysfunction) specialist, or a sleep clinic for further diagnosis and treatment.

There are two main types of night guards: soft, which is flexible and preferred by mild bruxism patients, and hard, which is not flexible and made for patients with mild to severe bruxism and misaligned teeth. Options are discussed prior to fabrication of the night guard. Both types will last from 1-5 years on average before need for replacement.

dental cleaning or prophylaxis

Cleaning

A dental cleaning, or prophylaxis, is a routine procedure that usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour and occurs 2 times per year. A deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, is a procedure that could take up to 4 appointments to complete and will last an hour or more. This is a one time treatment unless recurrent disease occurs. A periodontal maintenance cleaning is scheduled after scaling and root planing for subsequent and long term routine care, usually 3 or 4 times a year.

The level of cleaning needed is determined by bacteria level, bone loss, and periodontal (gums/ bone) disease diagnosis. Most patients will fall into the prophylaxis category and see the hygienist 2 times a year or every 6 months.

Radiographs and an exam will also be a provided after routine cleanings. Dr. Bradley will advise you if any issues are found at this time.

Best dental office ever!!!!! Mallory cleaned my teeth and is always professional, personable and does a thorough job. Dr Bradley is a very gentle dentist who isn’t pushy but includes you on rescissions if something is needed. Love my dentist & Hygenist and appreciate feeling comfortable in their hands! 🤍

They're always extremely pleasant and helpful 😀 This last visit their suction tool was wigging out, and they'd apologize when it stopped but had it fixed in like 5 minutes tops. I schedule my appointments during my days off, so I personally wasn't bothered, plus they had it fixed in such a short amount of time I didn't even notice. They're also always upgrading their facility; this time, in a room previously visited, there was a new TV installed on the ceiling to help calm patients' nerves. I also had composite bonding done 2 months ago, and the Doctor + assistants were extremely thorough and did such an amazing job! 10/10 🙂

The dental hygienist I saw was kind, caring, and informative. They walked me through the process every step of the way and didn’t waste any time. I appreciated their professional attitude and attention to detail. Dr. Bradley came up with a strategy for fixing the issues I’m experiencing with my teeth while doing his best to keep costs to a minimum. Their facility is clean and they provide distractions to keep you from focusing too much on the actual work being performed - in my case it had been an extended period of time since having a cleaning. I strongly recommend Pacific Northwest Dental if you’re looking for skilled professionals providing quality care.

The staff is amazing and so nice, they go out of their way to be helpful. The doctor is very prompt, personable and available, takes the time to explain in detail what is going on and solutions without any pressure to do anything you don’t wish to. while there, even though everyone is very busy the entire team makes you feel like you are the only patient in the bldg. this place has all the newest equipment and technology, me and my wife have been going here for a few years and are very satisfied with the quality, care and pricing.

Dentists here are satisfactory but it’s the front desk people that strongly irk me. I advised the front desk person that I had no more benefits for the rest of the year and she told me I did so I stupidly went ahead with the appointment instead of looking at my benefits. As this is partially my fault it is the front office responsibility to advise accurately on where my benefits are at and they were up to date in the portal at the time. Like I said, I admit MY mistake but I don’t appreciate being lied to about my benefits so you can cash in another $1k off me. Anyway, good dentists but the front desk is not to be trusted.
