Preventative & Oral Health

Types of Preventative Oral Health Care

• Regular Dental Cleanings - a regular cleaning involves your dentist eliminating stains, tartar, and plaque from your teeth. For patients with gum health issues, your dentist may recommend frequent visits (more than twice a year) for teeth cleaning.
• Comprehensive Dental Exams - the mouth is often considered a window to the rest of the body because many other illnesses first present themselves as changes within the mouth. With a comprehensive exam every six months, we can manage small dental problems before they grow into larger, more complicated issues.
• Routine Oral X-Rays - routine digital X-rays let your provider instantly detect and diagnose abnormalities in teeth, gums, and enamel, as well as tumorous masses, cavities & hidden dental structures.
• At-Home Oral Hygiene - between your twice-a-year dentist appointments, it's important to practice good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing your teeth twice a day, to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues from affecting your smile.
