Our Preventive Dentistry Services Include

Regular Dental Exams:

Regular dental exams are essential for detecting and addressing oral health issues early on. During your exam, our dentists will thoroughly assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, identifying any signs of decay, gum disease, or other dental problems.


Professional Teeth Cleaning:

Professional teeth cleaning is an integral part of preventive dental care. Our skilled dental hygienists will remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth, helping to prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. We recommend scheduling regular cleanings every six months for optimal oral health.


Dental Sealants:

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to prevent decay. Sealants act as a barrier against bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of cavities in these hard-to-reach areas. They are especially beneficial for children and teenagers but can also be beneficial for adults.

Fluoride Treatments:

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay. Our fluoride treatments involve applying a fluoride varnish or gel to the teeth, providing an extra layer of protection against cavities. Fluoride treatments are safe, quick, and painless, making them suitable for patients of all ages.


Oral Cancer Screenings:

Oral cancer screenings are an essential part of preventive dental care, allowing us to detect and diagnose oral cancer in its early stages when it's most treatable. During your dental exam, our dentists will thoroughly examine your mouth, lips, tongue, throat, and other oral tissues for any signs of abnormal growths or lesions.


Custom Mouthguards and Nightguards:

Custom mouthguards and nightguards are custom-made oral appliances designed to protect your teeth and jaws from injury or damage. Mouthguards are commonly used during sports and physical activities to prevent dental trauma, while nightguards are worn during sleep to alleviate bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ disorders.

Why Choose Preventive Dentistry?

  • Maintains Oral Health: Preventive dentistry helps keep your teeth and gums healthy, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
  • Saves Time and Money: By addressing dental problems early on, you can avoid more extensive and costly treatments in the future.
  • Promotes Overall Health: Oral health is closely linked to overall health, with poor oral hygiene being associated with various systemic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections.
