Dental Services

The Rock River Community Clinic in Fort Atkinson provides basic dental health services to uninsured and Medicaid patients in Jefferson County communities.

Dental services may include:

Exams and X-Rays

Proper examination is the first and most important step in any dental practice. Here we make sure to identify any existing issues as well as determine if there are any underlying issues which can be prevented that can affect your well-being.

Cleanings

The hygienist will begin by performing a check on your teeth and gums and requesting
information regarding your overall health and medical history. Following this they will clean and polish your teeth, also sharing steps to oral health. When your exam and cleaning is completed, we will discuss any treatment you might need and answer any questions you may have. We encourage you to schedule a dental visit every six months. The American Dental Association recommends a visit to your dentist every six months. Regular check-ups will help assure dental health and overall health. They will help to identify any problems and our dentists will assist you in devising a plan to keep your healthy smile, avoiding any larger issues.

Fillings

Dental fillings will be completed as quickly and painlessly as possible. The dentist will remove all decayed and unhealthy areas of the tooth to prevent further tooth decay.
As your dental health partner, we want to help you to prevent cavities and keep your smile
healthy. Always brush twice a day, in the morning and evening. Remember to floss to remove plaque from between teeth. Your dental health is a part of your overall health. To help aid your overall health, don’t forget to eat a healthy, balanced diet. Avoid foods that will stick between your teeth as well as sodas and juices high in sugar. Reach for water instead!

Root Canals

A root canal is the process of removing swollen or infected tissue within a tooth to prevent pain and/or stop the infection. In many cases, a tooth treated with a root canal will require a crown for the best possible outcome.

Oral Surgery

Oral surgery covers many different procedures done in the office. The most common oral surgery is extraction. There are many reasons to perform this procedure.

Damaged Teeth

Teeth can be damaged due to decay, a root fracture or trauma to the tooth. In children, some primary teeth may not fall out and will require extraction in order for the permanent teeth to erupt.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to come in. They will grow in at the back of your
mouth, sometimes crowding out the other teeth in your mouth. If this occurs, the dentist will determine whether or not the wisdom teeth will need to be removed.

With any case of oral surgery our dentists and staff will cover the necessary procedures and treatment . Our dentists will answer any questions regarding this treatment.
