Preventive Dentistry Services
Periodontal Deep Cleanings
Ask about our periodontal deep cleanings if you suspect you have gum disease. We offer periodontal treatment so patients can avoid receding gums, tooth loss, and other consequences of poor gum health. Our dentists are ready to help!
Gum Disease Treatments
Scaling and root planing is a type of gum disease treatment. We may suggest this treatment if you have deep gum pockets around teeth. It’s not uncommon for patients with gum disease to have receding gums. Fortunately, our dentists are ready to help!
Fluoride Treatments
Are you or your child prone to cavities? If so, we may recommend fluoride treatments to strengthen tooth enamel. Fluoride makes your teeth more resistant to acid attacks from the bacteria in plaque.
Oral Examinations
Dental exams can help you save money in the long run on emergency care and tooth restorations. This is because we’re often able to detect cavities and other issues early while they’re at their most treatable.
Sealants
Are you at high risk for cavities? If so, our dentists may recommend dental sealants for your molars (back teeth). cover the chewing surface of your molars. This eliminates deep pits and grooves where plaque can hide.
Oral Cancer Screening
Your risk of oral cancer is higher if you have a history of smoking, drinking, or spending a lot of time outside. Yet, our dentists offer oral cancer screenings to all our patients. That way, we’re able to catch oral cancer in its early stages.
