Fluoride Treatments
At Podder Dental Clinic, we offer professional fluoride treatments as a simple yet powerful way to strengthen teeth and prevent cavities for patients of all ages. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps remineralize enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque, bacteria, and sugary foods. Our in-office fluoride applications are quick, painless, and especially beneficial for children, teens, patients with a high risk of decay, or those with sensitive teeth. Available in the form of gels, foams, or varnishes, these treatments provide a higher concentration of fluoride than over-the-counter products, offering long-lasting protection. Regular fluoride treatments play a key role in maintaining strong, healthy teeth and preventing tooth decay before it starts.
Dental Sealants
At Podder Dental Clinic, we offer dental sealants as a highly effective preventive treatment to protect teeth—especially in children and teenagers—from cavities and decay. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars), where deep grooves and pits can easily trap food and bacteria. This quick, painless procedure creates a smooth surface that makes it easier to clean the teeth and significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay. While sealants are most commonly recommended for kids and teens, adults with deep grooves in their teeth can also benefit. When combined with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, sealants provide long-lasting protection and contribute to a strong foundation for lifelong oral health.
Oral Hygiene Instruction
At Podder Dental Clinic, we believe that excellent oral health starts with the right knowledge and daily habits. That’s why we provide personalized oral hygiene instruction to help patients of all ages maintain healthy teeth and gums between visits. Our dental professionals take the time to educate you on the proper brushing and flossing techniques, the best oral care products, and tips for maintaining a tooth-friendly diet. We also address specific concerns such as plaque buildup, bad breath, gum sensitivity, or the needs of orthodontic and implant patients. Whether you're learning for the first time or need a refresher, our goal is to empower you with the tools and guidance needed to take control of your oral health and prevent common dental problems before they start.

Unlike over-the-counter options, our custom mouthguards are individually crafted to fit the unique contours of your mouth, ensuring superior comfort, protection, and durability. For athletes, we create sports mouthguards that cushion impact and reduce the risk of broken teeth, jaw injuries, and concussions. For patients who grind or clench their teeth, our nightguards help prevent enamel wear, jaw pain, and TMJ disorders. Whether for sports or sleep, our custom-made mouthguards offer a safe, comfortable, and reliable solution to preserve your oral health and overall well-being.
Night Guards
At Podder Dental Clinic, we provide custom-made night guards to protect your teeth and jaw from the harmful effects of bruxism—the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth during sleep. Often unnoticed until symptoms like tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, or TMJ disorders appear, bruxism can significantly impact your oral and overall health. Our night guards are individually crafted using durable, high-quality materials to ensure a precise, comfortable fit that allows for easy breathing and uninterrupted sleep. By wearing a night guard, you can minimize tooth damage, reduce muscle tension, and protect dental work like crowns or fillings. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with bruxism or are experiencing symptoms, our team is here to provide a long-lasting solution for peaceful, pain-free sleep and healthier teeth.
