Oral Cancer Screening

As part of your comprehensive dental exam at Postle Dental Group, your dentist will perform an oral cancer screening to detect any signs of mouth cancer or precancerous lesions at an early stage.

Early detection is key to successful treatment, which is why we incorporate this screening into your routine dental check-ups.

Certain lifestyle and health factors can increase your risk of developing oral cancer, including:

  • Heavy alcohol use
  • Tobacco use
  • Excessive sun exposure, which can increase the risk of lip cancer
  • Certain strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

Routine screenings can help detect potential issues before they become serious. Book your next dental exam and oral cancer screening at Postle Dental Group in Hilliard, OH today.

Fluoride Treatments

We recommend fluoride treatments for patients of all ages to provide ongoing protection against cavities. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral essential for maintaining strong, healthy enamel. Fluoride treatments help strengthen teeth by remineralizing enamel and replacing essential minerals lost due to exposure to sugars, acids, and bacteria from the foods and drinks we consume.

Sealants

Dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection to prevent cavities and tooth decay in molars and premolars, particularly those with deep grooves that are harder to clean with brushing alone. 

Applying a sealant to healthy molars at an early stage helps block out bacteria and food particles, significantly reducing the risk of cavities. Sealants can help prevent the need for fillings, crowns, or more extensive dental treatments later on.

Digital Radiographs

Digital radiographs (X-rays) provide high-resolution imaging, allowing us to examine above and below the gum line with exceptional detail for early and accurate diagnosis of potential dental issues.

These advanced digital X-rays help us detect developing cavities, impacted wisdom teeth, bone loss, and other hidden dental concerns before they become serious problems. Our state-of-the-art digital technology uses up to 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays, providing a safer and more comfortable experience for our patients.

Diagnodent

The Diagnodent fluorescent laser finds cavities beneath the surface of the tooth that x-rays and visual examinations may miss. This advanced dental technology aids in the early detection of cavities and helps to preserve a greater amount of tooth structure by uncovering decay before it progresses too far.
