Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dental care is the key to maintaining a healthy smile and avoiding more serious—and costly—dental issues down the road. More than just routine checkups, preventive care plays a critical role in your overall health, helping to reduce risks linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions.
What Is Preventive Dental Care?
Preventive dentistry includes both in-office treatments and at-home habits that work together to keep your teeth and gums strong, clean, and cavity-free.
Dental Exams: During your visit, the dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding areas to check for early signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. We’ll
also ask about any discomfort or changes you’ve noticed since your last appointment.
X-Rays: Dental X-rays help us detect issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye, such as cavities between teeth, infections, bone loss, or impacted teeth. They’re an essential part of your regular checkup and allow us to catch problems early.
Teeth Cleanings: Professional cleanings are performed by our hygienists to remove plaque and tartar buildup, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. We also point out areas where brushing or flossing can be improved, giving you personalized tips for better at-home care.
Education & Guidance: We’re here to help you understand your oral health and how to care for it. Our team offers simple, practical advice tailored to your needs—whether it’s brushing techniques, flossing tips, or suggestions on diet and habits that support a healthy mouth.
