Family Dentistry in North Miami Beach, FL

What is Family Dentistry?

Family dentistry focuses on providing comprehensive oral health services to individuals of all ages, from young children to seniors. Unlike specialized dentists who only treat specific age groups, family dentists, like Dr. Abbo, are equipped to cater to the diverse dental needs of every member of your family, making them a one-stop solution for your dental care.

Our Family Dentistry Treatments

Dental Exams & Cleanings

Regular dental exams and cleanings are the foundation of our approach. During your dental checkup, our experienced team will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of dental issues or potential concerns. This proactive approach allows us to detect and address problems at an early stage, preventing more extensive and costly treatments down the road.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth, creating a barrier that keeps food particles and bacteria from settling in the natural grooves and pits. Children and teenagers, in particular, benefit greatly from dental sealants, as their developing teeth are more susceptible to cavities. However, adults can also undergo this preventive treatment to safeguard their dental health.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays are an essential tool in our diagnostic arsenal. Unlike traditional X-rays, digital X-rays emit lower radiation levels, making them safer for patients. Moreover, the images are instantly available, allowing our team to detect dental issues promptly and accurately. With digital X-rays, we can identify cavities, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other oral conditions that may not be visible during a regular dental examination.

Periodontal (Gum) Care

We’ll provide periodontal (gum) care for your family during routine oral health visits. This semiannual examination allows our periodontist to identify and treat gum problems before they progress. During this process, they’ll use specialized tools to remove tartar buildup from beneath your gums. 

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that plays a vital role in preventing tooth decay. Our teeth constantly undergo a process of demineralization and remineralization, influenced by the foods we eat and the acids produced by bacteria in our mouths. Fluoride helps to strengthen our tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks and reducing the risk of cavities. We offer fluoride treatments that benefit children whose developing teeth need extra protection.

Oral Health Home Care

While regular visits to our family dentistry practice are crucial, maintaining good oral hygiene at home is equally important. Brushing and flossing your teeth can prevent plaque buildup and keep gum disease and cavities at bay. Our team will guide you on proper brushing and flossing techniques, the best dental products, and the importance of a balanced diet for your dental health.

Oral Cancer Screenings

Oral cancer is a potentially life-threatening condition, but when caught early, the chances of successful treatment are significantly higher. As part of our commitment to comprehensive dental care, Dr. Abbo and our team perform oral cancer screenings during your regular dental checkups. This quick and painless examination allows us to identify any suspicious lesions or abnormalities in your mouth, prompting further investigation if necessary.

Root Canal Therapy

Contrary to popular belief, root canal therapy is not a painful procedure; it’s a solution to alleviate pain caused by an infected or inflamed dental pulp. When the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes infected, it can lead to severe pain and loss of the tooth. Dr. Abbo and our dental professionals are experienced in performing root canal treatments to save damaged teeth. 

TMJ Disorder Treatment

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder can cause significant discomfort, affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth, headaches, and difficulty chewing. We offer personalized TMJ disorder treatments to alleviate pain and restore proper jaw function.
