Preventative Care
How often? The American Dental Association advises patients to schedule checkups every 6 months. Study has proven that by combining semi annual checkups at the dental office with a consistent oral care regimen at home, you are able to greatly decrease the risk of your tooth decay and gum disease. When you visit our office for a checkup, our dentist is going to perform a comprehensive dental examination, assisted by the most advanced diagnostic technology. With this way, we are able to detect a wide range of emerging dental issues, from early signs of tooth decay as well as the first signs of gum disease, to oral pathology and more. Along with your dental exam, we will also perform a professional dental cleaning to get rid of any accumulated tartar or plaque from the tough to reach areas of the mouth of yours. Because plaque buildup is actually responsible for the development of cavities, and gum disease, we also provide personalized instruction in the correct techniques for flossing and brushing at home. When your kids are available in for the checkup of theirs, they will also receive special treatments including dental sealants and fluoride therapy to strengthen their developing teeth and give them an additional level of protection against tooth decay.
