Preventive Care

• Patient Education - You’ll receive all the information you need to make informed decisions about your dental care, including tips for brushing and flossing at home.
• Regular Cleanings & Exams - Professional cleanings every six months help you maintain a beautiful, fresh smile and optimal oral health.  Regular examinations identify problems at their earliest and most treatable stages.
• Sealants - The back teeth (molars) have numerous dents and grooves which are difficult to cleanse of food particles and bacterial plaque.  As a result, decay can start in these areas even with a meticulous dental hygiene program.  Application of dental sealants is painless and non-invasive and is extremely effective at preventing cavities.  Don’t forget to ask about our No Cavity Club for children.
• Fluoride - Regular topical fluoride strengthens teeth and is effective in preventing and reversing early signs of tooth decay.
• Grinding & Clenching - Grinding and clenching is a major cause of tooth loss.  Frequently unaware of this nocturnal habit, the damage done can be severe, requiring extensive rehabilitation.   A customized guard (also called a splint or night guard) is an effective way to prevent damage to your teeth, jaw joints and muscles.
• Mouthguards - A mouthguard is a cushioned appliance that fits over the dental arch to help prevent tooth injury and concussions during contact sports. Our mouthguards are custom-made and provide increased retention and protection over the “boil & bite” type.
