Family Dentistry in HAMMOND, IN

Examinations

Our thorough examinations use advanced diagnostic tools to ensure the health of your teeth and gums. You should get an examination at least every six months so we can detect and treat potential dental issues fast and keep your smile healthy.

Fillings

Cavities are a common problem, especially in children. But if left untreated, cavities can lead to toothaches, infections, and tooth loss. We offer high-quality fillings to treat cavities and protect your teeth.

Fluoride Treatments

If you’re looking for extra protection against cavities, come to Hessville Smiles Dentist for fluoride treatments! When applied to the teeth, fluoride can strengthen enamel and protect you from developing cavities. This treatment is especially helpful for young children while they learn how to properly care for their teeth.

Sealants

To give your child extra protection against tooth decay, our friendly team can apply sealants to their teeth. A sealant will temporarily fill in the crevices in your child’s molars, which gives food particles fewer places to get stuck and helps prevent cavities. Adults who tend to get cavities despite good oral hygiene can also benefit from getting dental sealants.

Oral Cancer Screenings

At your routine examinations, we will do a screening to detect early signs of oral cancer. If you are at risk, our friendly team will let you know the best course of action to take to get treatment and protect your oral health.

Root Canal Treatment

If you have an infected or injured tooth, you may need a root canal to relieve your pain and prevent the loss of your tooth. During this simple treatment, we will remove infected pulp from within the root canals of your teeth and apply a special antibiotic to prevent re-infection. Then we seal off the canals to keep your tooth healthy.
