Preventive Dental Care

Preventive dental care is the foundation for good oral health. Ideally, it is a collaborative effort between you and your dentist. Your daily oral hygiene habits, combined with professional dental care, will help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental and gum health issues. While diligent home care, including brushing, flossing, and healthy eating habits, can help minimize the risk of problems, regular dental visits are still essential. At Your Practice Name, we offer routine checkups and professional cleanings, as well as several preventive measures to help you keep your smile healthy for a lifetime.

Preventive Dental Care Services We Offer

  • Dental Cleanings & Checkups: Twice-yearly dental examinations and cleanings allow us to detect early signs of everything from cavities to oral cancer, enabling more successful treatment. A thorough cleaning by a dental hygienist helps remove plaque and tartar buildup, keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
  • Child Dentistry: We offer gentle care using age-appropriate methods for children of all ages to familiarize them with proper oral hygiene habits and monitor their primary and permanent teeth for potential problems.
  • Dental Sealants: Sealants are thin, protective resin coatings we apply to the chewing surface of the teeth, usually the molars, to prevent food debris and bacteria from settling into the teeth’s cervices.
  • Arestin: For patients with periodontal pockets around the base of their teeth or undergoing treatment for gum disease, Arestin is an effective antibiotic treatment. Arestin is placed directly into the gum pockets after professional teeth cleaning to ward off infection and give the gums time to heal.
  • Gum Disease Treatment: Individuals who have gum disease constantly battle recurring infections that can spread to the teeth and jawbone. Regular gum disease treatment, typically at least 4 times a year, reduces inflammation, fights infection, and improves gum health to prevent chronic gum disease from worsening.

Oral Hygiene: Your Part of the Equation

We do everything in our power to preserve and protect your oral health, but this is only part of the equation for healthy teeth and gums that last a lifetime. Your daily dental habits and care routines are also crucial. To learn more about how you can maintain and protect your oral health, visit our oral hygiene page.
