Preventing dental disease starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet of whole and healthy foods. Preventative care is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health, so you can keep your smile for years to come. Our prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth. Prevention services help avoid any serious and/or costly dental problems that may occur down the road if you are not careful or taking care of your teeth. Preventative care is truly the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.
Keeping Your Teeth and Gums Healthy
When it comes to protecting your smile, our preventative programs and routine cleanings are essential. These dental services are a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures of your mouth by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.
Through these cleanings and routine procedures, we also do our best to keep you comfortable. We understand that dental procedures aren’t everyone’s favorite and that dental phobia is a real thing. That’s why all of our staff is gentle and goes out of their way to make you feel at ease.
