Dental Checkups & Cleanings
During a routine checkup and cleaning, Dr. Kendrick can keep an eye on the health of your teeth and gums, as well as the rest of your mouth. Gum disease, oral cancer, and cavities can be found during a general dentistry appointment. We don’t want to take any chances with your safety, so our routine exams are thorough. Dr. Kendrick and the Midwest City Dental Center staff use a variety of methods to look out for your needs.
During every general dentistry examination, we’ll look for signs of decay occurring above or below the gumline. With digital X-rays, we can catch problems along the roots of teeth, and our general dentistry team are experts in the detection of cavities. After a comprehensive examination, one of our dental hygienists will give your teeth a deep cleaning, gently removing plaque and gum disease-causing bacteria from your smile.

Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments are provided to children and adults who tend to develop cavities more often. While exposure to fluoride toothpaste and fluoridated water may be enough for some individuals, others may lack the necessary amount to keep their teeth better protected. With this simple and quick application during a regular dental checkup, we can safeguard pearly whites between appointments so that decay does not form, and tooth enamel becomes stronger.
Nightguards for Bruxism
Teeth grinding can be a detrimental habit, especially if you’re unaware that you do it in your sleep. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth sensitivity because of worn-down enamel as well as chronic jaw pain associated with TMJ. Our team can provide a customized nightguard that you can wear throughout the night that effectively keeps your upper and lower arches of teeth from touching.
TMJ Treatment
When jaw pain forms as a result of teeth grinding, stress, or a misaligned bite, it can worsen over time until it becomes nearly impossible to open your mouth. To eliminate this extreme discomfort and improve your quality of life, Dr. Kendrick offers TMJ treatment in the form of a customized occlusal splint. Not only does this device keep teeth from touching, but it also encourages your jaw to sit in a more comfortable position so that you can begin to enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling once again.
Oral Cancer Screenings
The prevalence of oral cancer is rising in the US, and early detection of the disease can dramatically increase the chances of successful treatment. Precancerous or cancerous areas may go unnoticed for too long. Fortunately, Dr. Kendrick is highly trained to look out for suspicious areas that may indicate trouble. With an oral cancer screening performed alongside your regular checkup and cleaning, we can increase the life expectancy of patients who have oral cancer.
