Preventive Dentistry

Regular cleanings, recommended every 6 months, may not seem like much but they are a crucial part of preventive dental care, ensuring a brighter smile and reducing the risk of more serious oral issues surprising you later. Our dentist encourages patients of all ages to keep up with visits like these as they can address hard-to-reach areas and promote healthier gums and teeth.

Who doesn’t want extra armor in the fight against cavities? Highly recommended by our dentist for children but also helpful for many adults, dental sealants are thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. This prevention method is quick, painless to apply, and offers effective long-term protection against tooth decay, promoting optimal oral health.

Often performed during routine dental check-ups, fluoride treatment works to strengthen tooth enamel, especially in situations where gum recession is found, and prevent tooth decay. Much like dental sealants, the process is fast, straightforward, and pain-free. Our dentist recommends fluoride application in addition to good oral hygiene practices as it will help remineralize enamel and make teeth more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars.

Dealing with advanced gum disease or periodontitis isn’t always easy, but our dentist and hygienists are here to help keep the condition at bay with periodontal therapy. This primarily non-surgical approach involves deep cleaning methods such as scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline, reduce inflammation, prevent tooth loss, and promote tissue healing.
