Oral Exams & Cleanings
Regular cleanings and dental exams are an important part of maintaining a healthy mouth. A thorough, professional cleaning goes a long way towards preventing gum disease and tooth decay. At Menomonie Dental, your appointment will be focused on early detection of decay and gum disease. We’ll also help you understand how to best take care of your teeth and gums at home. If we do find a problem, we’ll work together to develop a treatment plan focused on preventing further issues and getting your health back on track.
We will perform the following at each cleaning visit:
- Oral cancer screening
- Gum disease evaluation
- Visual examination of tooth decay
- Examination of diagnostic x-rays to diagnose any problems as early as possible
- Evaluation of status of current restorations (fillings and others)
- Remove plaque and polish teeth

We’ll help you understand the risk factors that might affect your child’s dental health through their formative years. We’ll also work with you to create a preventive treatment plan that’s right for your child.
Your child will feel at ease throughout their visit. Modern dental technology is minimally-invasive and produces incredible results at any age.
Mouthguards
Sports Mouthguards
If you or your child plays contact sports, we can design a custom-fitted mouthguard to protect the teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue from impact or damage. Mouthguards help cushion a blow to the face, minimizing the risk of broken teeth and injuries to your lips, tongue, face or jaw. They typically cover the upper teeth and are a great way to protect the soft tissues of your tongue, lips and cheek lining.
For more information, call our office and setup an appointment to come in for a consult.
Nightguards
Teeth grinding or clenching, also known as bruxism, is a common issue and can be painful and destructive to teeth. Luckily, there are options available to anyone who clenches and grinds while they should be sleeping. A nightguard is a plastic appliance that is placed in the mouth over some or all upper or lower teeth to prevent the destructive effects of grinding and clenching by putting a barrier between your teeth. Most cases of bruxism can easily be treated by wearing a night guard while you sleep.
