Preventive Care
We understand routine dental visits may not be your favorite activity, but our dentists are committed to making your dental exams and cleanings as timely and comfortable as possible. These appointments are the most vital part of maintaining your oral health, allowing our team to professionally clean and polish your teeth and remove plaque and tartar while thoroughly examining your smile (using X-rays if needed) for early signs of decay or disease. We recommend visiting us every six months to prevent cavities and gum disease and ensure you receive the care you need. To schedule your next checkup, please call (928) 718-2136 today.
Brushing and Flossing Instructions
Your everyday hygiene habits directly impact whether your smile lasts a lifetime, making proper brushing and flossing crucial for avoiding issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. To ensure your teeth receive the best care, you should brush twice daily with a soft-bristled, ADA-approved brush (replaced every three months) using small, circular motions at a 45-degree angle to the gumline, and always brushing your tongue. When flossing, use an 18-inch piece curved in a C-shape around each tooth, gently moving it up and down to clean between teeth and below the gumline without scrubbing. We encourage you to contact us at (928) 718-2136 with any questions, and we look forward to reviewing these techniques with you during your next visit.
Fluoride Treatments
To experience long-lasting oral health and strengthen your teeth, we offer professional Fluoride Treatments in Kingman, Arizona. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral essential for remineralizing tooth enamel, directly countering the constant attack of bacteria, sugars, and acids that cause decay. We may recommend a quick gel, varnish, or foam application during your routine visit if you are prone to decay or not receiving enough fluoride from other sources. We invite you to contact Mangelsdorf Family Dentistry today at (928) 718-2136 to learn more about this preventive care and how we can help keep your smile healthy for a lifetime.
Periodontal Therapy
If you notice signs of gum disease, such as swollen, tender gums or bleeding while brushing, we offer Periodontal Therapy in Kingman, Arizona, to restore you to optimal oral health. The most common and effective initial treatment is Scaling and Root Planing, a deep cleaning procedure often completed over several appointments, which removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surface (scaling) and smooths the roots to remove bacterial toxins (root planing). Our goal is to halt the disease's progression and we offer comfort options and anesthetics to ensure a relaxing experience. For most patients, this deep cleaning is sufficient, but it can be combined with other therapies, such as antibiotics. Call us today at (928) 718-2136 to reserve your exam and find out if periodontal therapy is right for you.
Dental Sealants
If you are prone to cavities and decay, we may recommend Dental Sealants as a highly effective preventive service. A sealant is a clear or tooth-colored resin painted onto the chewing surfaces of teeth to form a smooth coating over natural pits and grooves. By blocking out the bacteria and food debris that cause decay, this simple treatment makes teeth easier to clean and prevents cavities. Sealants are often recommended for children’s permanent molars (typically between ages 6 and 12), but they can also benefit adults whose teeth are decay-prone. This quick and comfortable treatment can be completed in just one visit to Mangelsdorf Family Dentistry. To learn more or schedule an appointment, please call us today at (928) 718-2136.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by breathing interruptions that, if left untreated, can lead to significant health issues like heart disease and high blood pressure. Symptoms often include excessive daytime sleepiness and chronic snoring. We offer effective treatment for mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea using a simple, custom-designed oral appliance. This appliance works by gently positioning the jaw or tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, allowing you to breathe freely and significantly improving your rest and overall health. To schedule a consultation and learn how this non-invasive treatment can enhance your quality of life, please call Mangelsdorf Family Dentistry at (928) 718-2136.
Snoring Treatment
If a loved one's snoring is disrupting their sleep or yours, Drs. Timothy, Jesse, and Luke Mangelsdorf offer effective treatment at Mangelsdorf Family Dentistry in Kingman, Arizona. Snoring occurs when airway obstructions, such as collapsing tissues or the tongue, narrow the upper airway as muscles relax during sleep. Our most common solution is a custom-made appliance worn only while sleeping. This comfortable device works by gently positioning the jaw or tongue to keep the airway open and free of obstructions, allowing for peaceful sleep for everyone. To learn more about how this simple treatment can help you breathe easily and improve your rest, please call us today at (928) 718-2136 to schedule an appointment.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ disorders (TMD) occur when the temporomandibular joint, which connects the lower jaw to the skull, becomes injured, or misaligned due to stress, teeth grinding (bruxism), or injury. This condition causes significant pain and disrupts daily life, making simple activities like smiling, speaking, and chewing uncomfortable. Symptoms often include jaw pain, frequent headaches, and clicking or locking in the jaw. Our dentists offer comprehensive TMJ Treatment in Kingman, Arizona, which may include custom oral appliances (night guards), lifestyle modifications, or other restorative treatments to alleviate discomfort and fully restore your oral function. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, contact Mangelsdorf Family Dentistry today at (928) 718-2136 to schedule a consultation and begin your path to relief.
