General Dentistry and Preventative Care in Wilmington MA

We see children of all ages and recommend children have their first visit at approximately age two when they have many of their teeth present, and they can follow instructions. This early childhood dental visit helps your child become familiar with the dental office sights and sounds in addition to giving Dr. Caselle a chance to make sure that their teeth are developing normally.

Your child’s first visit is an excellent time for us to talk with parents about their little one’s development and to answer any questions regarding what to expect in the upcoming months.

Parents should clean their child's teeth daily when they first appear in their mouth. Before teeth emerge, special cleaning cloths are available to rub along the gums to keep them healthy. We are happy to provide a demonstration on how to provide your child with the best oral hygiene care at home.

Please ask for our complimentary brochure, "Your Child's Teeth."

As your child grows, we will provide preventive dentistry treatments as needed.

• Dental cleanings
• Exams
• Bitewing x-rays
• Fluoride treatment
• Sealants

If a cavity develops, you can count on gentle treatment to repair your child’s tooth comfortably.

It might seem tempting to skip dental appointments, especially if your teeth are feeling okay. Dental problems can be silent and remain unnoticed for long periods of time, leading to more serious and costly problems. With regular exams, we can help you to achieve optimum dental health and prevent dental problems. 

We recommend that you receive a dental exam and cleaning at a minimum of every six months. In some cases, we may recommend visiting the dentist more often. For patients managing periodontal disease or who have medical conditions such as diabetes, heart conditions, or who are taking certain medications, 3-4 visits per year may provide you with the enhanced support you need to stay healthy.

We customize the dentistry we provide to meet the oral health needs of patients as they change over time. What worked when you were twenty may need adjustments by the time you reach your fifties. We are here to monitor your health and make recommendations that protect your teeth and your entire body for a lifetime.

It is not only crucial for your oral health, but also your overall health to have regular visits. Studies have shown that dental problems can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other health concerns.

Good oral health means better overall health. To schedule a dental exam, contact our Wilmington dental office.

No, a dental filling is generally not painful. This is one of the most common concerns patients have, but modern dentistry has made the process comfortable and virtually pain-free.

There’s no reason to worry about pain during tooth filling thanks to local anesthesia. Your dentist will numb the area thoroughly before beginning any work. You might feel some pressure or vibration from the dental tools, but no sharp pain or discomfort.

How painful is a filling compared to other procedures?

Fillings are one of the more comfortable dental treatments. Once the area is numb, the process itself is painless. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience actually is.

What can I expect after my filling?

Thanks to strong local anesthesia for dental fillings, your mouth will be numb for several hours after your procedure. Otherwise, some mild sensitivity to hot or cold foods is normal for a few days but typically resolves quickly. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually enough if you experience any discomfort, though many patients don't need them at all.
