Cleaning | Comprehensive Exam | Flouride Treatment | Oral Cancer Screening
The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist every six months. Preventive dental care can help you reduce or avoid future costs by preventing and finding potential issues sooner. Because many diseases and conditions first show signs in your mouth, good dental health and a strong relationship with your dental office are important steps in your overall health
The doctor will review all findings and discuss possible treatment options to help you achieve the smile you deserve.
Fluoride can be an important part of preventing tooth decay in patients of all ages. During your visit, we will determine your risk for dental decay by discussing your diet, home care, previous decay history, illnesses and prescription medications. Fluoride treatment can be done in the office, or at home.
In the office: Treatment can be done during your regular exam using a tray with gel or foam fluoride. A more highly concentrated fluoride varnish that is brushed onto your teeth can also be used.
At home: Options for fluoride treatment include prescription toothpastes or a daily rinse. It is important to follow all recommendations made by your dentist and to also be aware of the fluoride levels in your water.
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Boonton Family Dental provides oral cancer screenings as part of your regular dental exam. There are two main risk factors for oral cancer. Smoking and tobacco use are long-term historic causes of oral cancer. In addition, the HPV-16 virus, a sexually-transmitted disease, is resulting in the fastest-growing segment of oral cancer patients being young, healthy, nonsmoking individuals.
When found early, oral cancers have an 80 to 90 percent survival rate. Dentists can be a first line of defense in identifying abnormalities in the mouth, which could be a sign of oral cancer.

I can’t say enough good things about Cabana Family Dental. I was working out of town when I suddenly found myself dealing with a painful tooth issue, and they immediately made room to get me in. When you’re in pain and away from home, that kind of compassion means a lot. Dr. Nick was absolutely amazing. He took the time to explain everything, made sure I was comfortable throughout the process, and did a fantastic job getting my tooth fixed up. It’s rare these days to find a dentist who is not only highly skilled, but who genuinely cares about his patients. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in great hands. The ladies in the office were equally incredible. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and professional. They turned what would normally be a stressful and nerve-racking dental visit into a comfortable and positive experience. It’s refreshing to find a dental office where the entire team truly cares about the people they serve. The level of care, kindness, and professionalism I received was second to none. I would recommend Cabana Family Dental to absolutely anyone. In fact, I may just start scheduling my dental work around future trips back to town… unless I can somehow convince the entire team to relocate to Florida! Thank you again to Dr. Nick and everyone at Cabana Family Dental for the outstanding care. You turned a painful situation into a great experience, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Had a great visit at the dentist today. Although it’s been quite some time since I had a cleaning, my experience at Cabana Family Dental was great. At check in, Angelica is warm and inviting. Behind the scenes the dental hygienists were caring and experienced. They accepted my insurance, took some pictures to best serve me, cleaned my teeth, and thoroughly explained their process and the at-home care they recommended. Will be back!
Very nice people good service
