Preventative and Hygiene Services
As a dental practice, we believe that preventive care and hygiene services are essential to maintaining optimal oral health for our patients. We offer a range of preventative services that are designed to help you avoid dental problems before they become more serious issues. Our dental professionals are committed to providing the highest quality of care to our patients and helping them maintain healthy teeth and gums for life.
Regular Checkups
Regular checkups are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. During a checkup, our dental professionals will examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other dental problems. We will also perform an oral cancer screening to ensure early detection of any potential issues. Regular checkups allow us to catch problems early and prevent them from becoming more significant issues down the road.
Professional Cleanings
Professional cleanings are another essential part of preventive care. Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth, leading to decay and gum disease. During a professional cleaning, our dental hygienist will use specialized tools to remove the buildup of plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. We will also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your teeth feeling smooth and clean.
Education is an integral part of preventive care. Our team is dedicated to educating our patients on proper oral hygiene techniques and healthy habits to maintain optimal oral health. We will work with you to develop a personalized plan to keep your teeth and gums healthy between visits. This may include tips on brushing and flossing, recommendations for oral hygiene products, and lifestyle changes to improve your overall dental health.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a mineral that helps prevent tooth decay and can even reverse early signs of decay. We offer fluoride treatments for our patients to help strengthen their teeth and protect them from decay.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a thin coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to help prevent cavities. They are especially helpful for children, as their teeth are more susceptible to decay.
