East Lansing Modern Dental’s outreach initiatives play a pivotal role in educating the community about how to protect, maintain, and strengthen their dental well-being now and in the future. Our team believes that providing oral health education to our patients and neighbors is an important way to give back, and we make it our mission to do all we can to help them prioritize and protect their oral health!
Tailored Services For Patients Of All Ages
One of the ways we help ensure that our community’s smiles stay strong is with care that meets the unique needs of each age range.
Children: Our dental team works hard to help kids develop optimal oral hygiene habits early on. With proper brushing and flossing practices, kids can reduce their risk for cavities and more severe smile issues later on.
Teenagers: Many teens need guidance and support in sustaining their smiles. We focus on educating teens about the impact of their diet, how orthodontic solutions can help align their smile to keep it symmetrical and healthy, what they can do now and in the future to avoid oral health issues, and more.
Adults: It’s easy for adults to let their oral health slide, as they’re always on the go and often prioritize the dental well-being of their young children over themselves. Regular checkups and oral cancer checks are vital for to keep smiles strong and vibrant!
Seniors: Elderly patients can struggle with unique oral issues, including dry mouth, gum disease, and tooth loss. That’s where educational programs come in, as they’re specially designed to prevent, address, and manage these problems.
Patients With Special Needs &/or Dental Anxiety: Our patients with special needs may have a more difficult time sitting still during lengthy procedures or understanding how best to maintain their oral health, and individuals with dental anxiety are known to avoid our office, which ultimately takes a negative toll. To help these patients receive the care they need, our calming and highly trained team offers customized IV sedation to put them at ease while delivering vital smile-protecting services.
General Services We Offer That Help Keep Our Community’s Smiles Strong
The following play a vital role in helping our neighbors maintain and strengthen their oral health:
Oral Cancer Checks: Routine oral cancer screenings help detect oral cancer symptoms early on, which improves a patient’s long-term prognosis. Our team will carefully examine your tongue, throat, neck, and mouth for any signs of abnormalities, and we’ll let you know if we discover any concerning symptoms.
Preventative Care: Dental sealants, fluoride treatment, and wisdom teeth removal are important preventive treatments that can help safeguard smiles. To help make these essential services more affordable, we’re happy to offer a Smile Savers Plan, which is an alternative to dental insurance that can help patients save on services!
Our practice is committed to doing all we can to help our patients and neighbors maintain optimal oral health for life. Whatever your oral health needs and goals, we’re here to help. Call us at East Lansing Modern Dental today!
