Dental Care for Kids from the Family Dentist in Ocean Springs
Pediatric dentistry covers kids from ages 2-18. From the time your child can first hold a toothbrush and flash a toothy grin, they can see a dentist. Dr. McCabe has their little teeth cleaned and examined for cavities, treats and fills cavities, and takes x-rays to watch for abnormalities in tooth growth and eruption.
Dental Care for Adults to Age 60
From 18 to 60, adult teeth can change a lot. They might lose teeth later in life, or need emergency dental care in their 20s to restore a broken or missing tooth. Dental cleanings, exams, restoration, root canals, and more are all part of the dental care provided for this age group.
Dental Care after Age 60
You only get one set of adult teeth. If you take very good care of them, they will last you for many years beyond retirement age. Seeing your Ocean Springs dentist to keep your teeth and gums healthy after age 60 is crucial. If you do happen to lose teeth to disease or decay, Dr. McCabe can remove teeth, offer dental implants to replace the missing teeth, or offer partial dentures or full dentures to keep you smiling.
There are additional challenges with oral health past a certain age. Some of these challenges are related to diet, and some are related to medications. It's important to discuss these issues with your dentist so that you can continue to use the natural teeth you have for as long as you can.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Now, more than ever, patients are seeking cosmetic dental procedures. Dr. McCabe offers veneers, dental bonding, whitening, and implants. If you are interested in any of these procedures, you should be aware that they are not covered by most dental insurance plans. To find out what Dr. McCabe charges for these cosmetic procedures, it's best to schedule a consultation and see what his estimation of cost would be for the procedures you want.
Emergency Dentistry for All Ages and Situations
Accidents happen. Kids fall down and get hit in the mouth during sports. Adults get a little too wild and end up with knocked-out teeth. Older adults bite down on something too hard and break a tooth.
Car accidents can cause damage to teeth and gums too. An injury to your mouth doesn't mean you have to go toothless. However the dental damage happens, you may find yourself in an emergency dental situation.
Dr. McCabe is able to repair and restore most dental emergencies if you can call ahead and get to the office within a specified period of time. At the very least, it might be possible to fix a broken tooth or surgically put it back. The dentist will tell you what the plan is once you reach the office.
