Preventive Care
Preventive care is the foundation of a lifetime of good oral health. Regular dental visits help detect and prevent potential issues before they become serious, ensuring a bright, healthy smile.
Preventive care offers numerous advantages, including early detection and treatment of dental issues, which can prevent the need for more extensive and costly procedures in the future. By prioritizing regular visits, patients not only save money on restorative treatments like fillings, crowns, or root canals but also establish a strong foundation for long-term oral health, ensuring a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
What to Expect
-
Routine Check-Ups: Regular dental exams help detect cavities, gum disease, and early signs of other oral health problems. Our dentists thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and mouth to ensure optimal health.
-
X-Rays (Radiographs): Digital X-rays provide a detailed view of your teeth and underlying bone structures, allowing early detection of hidden cavities, infections, and other concerns.
-
Professional Cleanings (Prophylaxis): Even with excellent home care, plaque and tartar can build up over time. Our dental hygienists use specialized tools to remove deposits, polish teeth, and provide fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel.
-
Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent decay, especially for children and individuals at a higher risk of cavities.
-
Sealants: A thin protective coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, preventing bacteria and food from causing cavities in deep grooves.
