Our Preventive Dentistry Services

Preventive dentistry encompasses a variety of practices and treatments aimed at maintaining optimal oral health and preventing dental issues before they arise. These include regular dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and routine check-ups to detect early signs of decay or gum disease.

Teeth Cleaning

Professional teeth cleanings are the cornerstone of preventive dentistry. Our hygienists use specialized tools and techniques to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, even in hard-to-reach areas. Plaque and tartar harbor harmful bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum disease. Regular cleanings, typically recommended every six months, help prevent these issues and keep your breath fresh.

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer is a serious health concern, but early detection is crucial for successful treatment. Our dentist will perform a thorough oral cancer screening during your routine dental exam. This painless exam checks for abnormalities in your mouth, tongue, and throat. Early detection of oral cancer significantly increases treatment success rates.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to cavities. We offer fluoride treatments as part of our preventive care regimen, especially for children and adults at a higher risk of cavities. Fluoride treatments also play a crucial role in remineralizing weakened enamel, reversing early signs of tooth decay before they become severe.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. These surfaces are particularly susceptible to cavities because they have deep grooves and pits where food particles and bacteria can become trapped. Sealants create a barrier that prevents food and bacteria from accumulating, significantly reducing your risk of cavities in these vulnerable areas.
