This is the care, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of common oral health concerns, including tooth decay, gum disease, TMD, and oral cancer. Our services in Wallingford, CT include gum disease treatment, oral hygiene, oral cancer screenings, tooth-colored fillings (and the removal of metal fillings), bruxism (or grinding of teeth) treatment and prevention with mouth guards, TMD, and more.

The Importance Of Prevention
Preventive care is essential to maintaining not only your oral health but also your overall well-being. Regular dental checkups allow us to catch issues like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer in their earliest stages, often preventing the need for more extensive treatment. By focusing on prevention, we help you avoid discomfort, save money, and keep your smile in optimal condition.
Cleanings & Exams
Routine cleanings and exams are the foundation of general dentistry. At Main Street Dental, we recommend biannual visits to remove plaque and tartar, assess your gum health, and identify potential problems before they progress. Our comprehensive exams include an evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health to ensure your smile stays in top shape.
Digital X-Rays
Our commitment to advanced technology includes the use of digital x-rays, which provide a safer, faster, and more accurate way to evaluate your oral health. These images help us detect hidden problems, such as cavities between teeth, impacted teeth, or bone loss, enabling us to create an effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Oral Hygiene & Gum Disease
Whether you continue the practice of keeping your mouth clean on a daily basis or you’ve neglected your oral health, our dental hygiene team is excited to work with you to help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. From general cleanings to deeper, more advanced treatments, our team will take great care of your mouth.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is a nefarious disease and can sneak up on you if you aren’t monitoring the changes in your own mouth. Every time you visit Main Street Dental, we use the most advanced screening technology to ensure your mouth is cancer-free.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
We love it when form and function come together seamlessly – and that’s why we use composite resin tooth-colored fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are as strong as traditional amalgam fillings and blend perfectly with your natural teeth to keep your smile looking its best. Smile your biggest smile – because nobody will notice your restorations.
Mouthguards
Prevention is key to a gorgeous and healthy smile, and if you’re known to grind your teeth or play full-contact sports, you should consider a mouth guard. To protect your teeth from injury or grinding, our practice can provide you with a custom-made mouthguard that fits perfectly with your bite. Schedule your appointment today.
TMD Treatment
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can cause discomfort and difficulty with basic functions like eating or speaking. At Main Street Dental, we provide targeted TMD treatments to alleviate symptoms and restore proper function to your jaw. Whether you need a custom night guard or more specialized care, we’re here to help you find relief.
