What is Preventative Care?

Preventative care in dentistry involves regular check-ups, cleanings, and treatments designed to maintain oral health and prevent issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.

At our office, we believe prevention is the key to a healthy, lasting smile. During routine dental visits, we evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums, provide oral cancer screenings, and take digital x-rays to catch potential concerns early.

Professional cleanings combined with protective treatments like sealants and fluoride provide strong defense against cavities and disease. During routine visits, we review your medical history to understand how overall wellness and genetic factors may influence your smile.

By taking a proactive approach, we not only help preserve your natural teeth for life, but also minimize the need for more complex or costly procedures down the road.

What Preventive Care Includes:

  • Professional cleanings and exams
  • Digital X-rays and diagnostic imaging (with modern low radiation x-ray units)
  • Fluoride treatments and sealants
  • Custom night guards or bite splints
  • Oral cancer screenings (Annual or Biannual)
  • Personalized home care guidance

By staying proactive, patients enjoy healthier teeth, fresher breath, and greater long-term confidence in their smile.
