Give Your Smile a Healthy Foundation
Keeping your gums and teeth healthy is always easier when you visit one of our registered dental hygienists on a regular basis. For the best long-term protection, we recommend bi-annual appointments to remove any buildup and plaque that may have been missed with at-home brushing and flossing. Additionally, routine checkups are a great way to prevent small concerns from becoming big problems. Give our Goodyear dental office a call to set up your next preventive dentistry appointment!

Dental Checkups & Cleanings
Routine preventive dental services like biannual checkups and cleanings are the bedrock of any long-term oral care routine. They are just as essential as brushing and flossing at home, if not more so. For one, they give Dr. Goodman and his team a chance to remove any lingering plaque or tartar (which can only be removed by a professional) as well as confirm no underlying dental issues are present, such as cavities and gum disease.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Unconscious teeth grinding and clenching (also known as bruxism) can be far more common than you’d think. In fact, many people grind their teeth in their sleep, creating a significant risk for enamel erosion and dental fracture. It can even lead to chronic jaw pain and headaches! With a dedicated nightguard that is customized to fit your mouth, you can protect your teeth throughout the night and avoid the most common side effects that accompany bruxism.
Oral Cancer Screenings
With roughly 54,000 Americans diagnosed with oral cancer every year, it’s essential to catch it in the earliest stages before it has the potential to be fatal or cause severe complications. Thankfully, dentists are in a unique position to recognize oral cancer during your checkup. Dr. Goodman is trained to recognize these symptoms during your routine dental exam before partnering you with a trusted professional in the event an additional examination is required.
