Preventative Dentistry
Diagnosis and Prevention
Early detection is crucial in order to prevent more serious problems in the future. Gum disease and cavities can be diagnosed by your dentist before symptoms even appear. If left untreated, cavities that would normally be treated by a simple filling, may need other treatment such as root canal and/or crown.
Cleaning/Hygiene
Maintaining proper oral hygiene at home with daily brushing and flossing is essential to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Professional cleanings complement at-home care by removing tartar and biofilm that you cannot reach or remove at home. The American Dental Association recommends cleanings for individuals in the absence of gum disease
Maintaining proper oral hygiene at home with daily brushing and flossing is essential to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Professional cleanings complement at-home care by removing tartar and biofilm that you cannot reach or remove at home. The American Dental Association recommends cleanings for individuals in the absence of gum disease every 6 months. Patients that have gingivitis or periodontitis may need more frequent visits and deeper cleanings.
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays allow us to detect various dental issues that are not visible during a routine clinical exam. These detailed X-rays help us diagnose accurately so we can come up with an effective treatment plan. Did you know that dental X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays? This makes these scans a safe and efficient tool for protecting your oral health.

This treatment is commonly recommended for children and teenagers, but adults without existing decay or fillings in these areas may also benefit. Applying sealants is a quick and painless process that can provide long-lasting protection.

Factors such as tobacco, alcohol, certain viruses, and sun exposure can increase your risk of developing oral cancer. It is important for individuals of all ages to get screened. Early detection through regular dental exams is critical, since abnormal tissue changes can be identified before they become more serious. Regular oral cancer screenings can greatly improve treatment outcome and survival rate.
