Introducing Dental Dam for Your Safety & Comfort
A dental dam is a thin square of latex or non-latex rubber. It is a protective device that creates isolation of your tooth/teeth to prevent contamination of the area. Dental dams create a clean and dry area. Dental dams have the following advantages:
Prevents the treatment area from being exposed to bacteria and saliva
Protects your lips, cheek, tongue and gums from irritation
Prevents the possibility of any water or materials from falling into your mouth
Allows you to be more comfortable during your appointment
Fillings bond more effectively to make them more durable.
Dental dams provide better long-term dentistry.
Because of the overwhelming benefits of the Dental Dam, , , and our Carthage Family Dental team use it for the majority of dental treatments.

You won’t wait weeks for care. We set aside daily appointments for new patients and urgent needs, so most patients can be seen within days, not weeks.

We value your time. Our efficient scheduling and punctual appointments ensure you spend more time with your dentist and less time waiting.
