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. Crossland 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 was a patient of doctor Crossland for over 40 years. I was disappointed to hear he was retiring and leaving his practice. Shortly after Chris my long time hygienist also retired. No one likes change but my new hygienist is a very pleasant and competent young lady. My reason for this review is doctor Mourany. She is a very kind, gentle and caring dentist. I had to have a small cavity repaired, it was as painless a process for a filling as I belive I've ever had. She was fast, efficient and so very pleasant. I Couldn't recommend her more.
Crossland Dental is an outstanding practice. Dr. Mourany is extremely knowledgeable, gentle, professional, and kind. She really listens to my concerns and provides all the details and answers to my questions that I could ever want. Her entire team is wonderful - from the front desk to the hygienists to the dental assistants. My family and I started seeing Dr. Crossland about five years ago and we were concerned about who would take over when he retired - we shouldn't have worried at all! Dr. Mourany is an exceptional dentist and we're very happy to have her treat our smiles.
Dr. Crossland was my dentist for 20 years and I was very reluctant to try his replacement. Dr. Mourany was wonderful! I needed two fillings and she gave the best shots I’ve ever had. She was efficient, gentle and kind. In addition she found a growth in my mouth and I am getting it checked out. Thank you Crossland Dental and Dr. Mourany! I am extremely happy!
