More than 42,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with oral or throat cancer annually. Early diagnosis is critical to successful treatment. Regular visits for our dentists to examine your mouth and throat will allow them to see any changes that may be a red flag, such as persistent soreness or an irritation, red or white patches, pain or numbness, a lump, thickening of tissue, difficulty chewing or swallowing, or other changes.

The digital x-ray is an important tool to help our dentists see more than with just the eye alone. X-rays allow our dentists to see vulnerable areas before they become visible to the eye. X-rays are a useful resource for early detection of cavities, periodontal disease or any pathology in or surrounding the teeth or jaw bone. At Krol & Nazarov, we offer digital x-rays, which greatly reduce the amount of radiation exposure. We also carefully review each patient's medical and dental history to determine when and what type of x-ray may be needed.

This is an infection of the gum that surrounds the teeth, which is a major cause of tooth loss. Periodontal disease is caused by plaque. It can be particularly damaging because it is often painless and goes on undetected. However, there are some symptoms that are indicators that one may have periodontal disease, such as bleeding gums, tender gums, persistent bad breath or bad taste or loose permanent teeth. It is essential to receive routine preventative care with Krol & Nazarov to detect early signs of gum disease.

Also known as deep cleaning, this is a non-surgical treatment for periodontal disease that involves removing plaque and calculus from the area between the gums and tooth down to the root.

These are the basic essential tools for maintaining great oral health, including healthy gums and a great smile.
