Preventative Dentistry & Cleanings
A preventive program involves collaboration between the patient, dentist, and dental staff to protect natural teeth and supporting structures from dental issues. This begins with at-home oral care and continues with dental exams, dental cleanings, and treatments like sealants and fluoride in the dental office. Prevention is key to maintaining a healthy, confident smile.
Digital X-Rays
Digital radiography uses electronic sensors instead of x-ray film, reducing radiation exposure by 80-90%.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatment is a highly effective mineral for preventing tooth decay, found in most foods and water supplies.
Oral Cancer Exam
Annually, over 30,000 oral cancer cases are diagnosed, with 7,000 resulting in death. Early detection through an annual exam is key to effective treatment.
Sealants
Sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to molars and premolars’ chewing surfaces, preventing over 75% of dental decay.
