Preventive Care

They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When it comes to your teeth and gums, that maxim holds true. Here are just some of the preventive services we offer to help keep your teeth and gums healthy:

• Routine Cleanings—Our trained registered dental hygienists remove plaque and tarter from the surface of your teeth to help prevent decay and periodontal problems. Cleanings are recommended every six months for most adults, and more often in some cases.
• Comprehensive Exams—A full-mouth examination, including X-rays as needed, as well as a periodontal evaluation, can reveal decay and other dental problems. Finding and treating problems early means less expense, requires less time, and preserves your smile.
• Periodontal Treatments—Patients who require periodontal (gum) care will benefit from a full range of services, including non-surgical scaling and root planing and Arestin antibiotic therapy.
• Fluoride & Sealants—Fluoride strengthens teeth, and sealants can deter cavities from forming in children’s back teeth.
•  Patient Education—We make it a priority to educate all of our patients on steps they can take to promote optimal dental health.
